Monday Morning Quarterbacking...and golfing

PrintTommy dropped back a bit, but look who made a move on Sunday, none other than Vijay Singh!!! I always have a problem with guys in their 40's being referred to as old. My plan is to watch the last round while I'm doing my bi-monthly platelet donation. The chair has a little over head TV monitor. If your a blood donor you may be familiar with platelet donation (Apheresis). It's similiar to whole blood donation except your red cells are returned to you. Platelets (white cells) are vital for transfusion to patients with a surpressed immune system, like those undergoing KEMO therapy. They are also infused into premature babies. Please consider it. That's the end of my pitch. Back to the golf. The third round was completed and most of the players are in different places of the fourth on the back nine. Several have finished the last round. Singh has posted -16. I can't imagine him winning with that, but he could which would be a very strange ending.

That’s interesting. I didn’t know they return the red cells. Does that mean even people who can’t donate whole blood can donate plateles ? (platelets aren’t white cells)
Nah – Vijay was right to just finish. He would have to warm up his back in more chilly weather for one hole in a tournament he’s not going to win – and at this point in his career – second is still the first loser. Too many guys tied or ahead with too many birdie holes left to play.
Fathom the odd hypocrisy that the government wants every citizen to prove that they have health insurance, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
I've been donating platelets for 5 years and I always thought they were white cells...
As far as your question about donating platelets if you can’t donate whole blood….I don’t know. You’re right about Singh, but a Singh win sure would have complicated the broadcast.
There are red cells, white cells, and platelets. Platelets do the clotting.
Why would a Singh win complicate the broadcast ? We’ve seen tournaments where the winner finishes several groups ahead of the last group. What could have been bad is Singh in a tie for the lead…after he had left town. :-D

Talk about "flying under the radar"!
Mark Wilson certainly isn’t a househild name. You can be sure his banker knows who he is! Twice a winner in 5 tournaments. The very picture of a fast start. What happened to Haas? The preemptive favorite, Phil Mickelson? His play illustrates why he was never able to over take a failing Tiger Woods. Rickie Fowler? He’s getting more attention for his attire than his golf. How long can he live off that play-off loss in the Fall Series last year. There’s no question he’s a significant talent and brings some pizzaz to the game. But it would not surprise me if Fowler has made more money this year off endorsements than Wilson has made in prize money…. Often times, it’s the sizzle not the steak… On to Pebble Beach….
LOL @ easing kinda true in a way
But I have yet to see Fowler in any alleged rules violation of any sort.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body" jumpn
....and Wie has been on the scene for a lot longer than Fowler.
And Rory is the future of the Euro Tour with his two “monster wins”….
Now Now Pingaling
Don’t be dragging any bad habits over here from the Golf Channel Blogs. LOL

Progolf:
Don’t worry about bad habits, Easingwold can handle it! He doesn’t get all bent out of shape when his opinions are questioned or I take a poke at him.
Just highlighting the difference between Mcllroy
who has won and Fowler, who still wears his junior golf gear at the age of 22.
Easy...I don't know about the Jr. gear stuff....I thought he looked like an Orange Pop-cycle
for those that arn’t familiar with them…It’s frozen slush on a stick….jis sayin….One thing in it’s favor tho….If he was in the woods hunting, no one would mistake him for the deer….STUB

He's just wearing his college colors

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

even OK State doesn’t wear orange on orange with orange shoes and orange helmets. once a year, they wear orange on orange with their white shoes and white helmets – but never orange on orange on orange on orange.
which means that the state of Florida Orange Growers need to sponsor his Sunday outfit.

It doesn't really matter what a player wears
Fowler has game and if he wants to wear Pink Sansabelts with big bell bottoms and a Humphrey Bogart Fedora, WHO CARES.
Back when I was looping in the very early 70’s we had to wear double sunglasses just to block the glare from the players loud clothes.

that was his 3rd round outfit. :-)

Doug Saunders was a snappy dresser. I couldn’t believe how many pairs of golf shoes he has. I accually don’t mind Fowler’s clothes, but the hat has got to go. It looks like someone has pulled it down over his ears like some cartoon :)
and take a chance on getting hat hair on his perfectly girlish locks ? perish the thought. nope – we’re stuck with the gang hat style at least until he starts shaving. :-)

How very decent of you both
not to mention someone else who doesn’t want hat hair. Still, if he did wear a hat, I’m sure it would be far, far more attractive than Fowler’s silly hat.
lol – if Bad Bobby Rock were offered a good contract to wear a hat – he’d wear a hat.
Phil Mickelson wasn’t a hat guy until he turned pro and they paid him.
Jesper Parnevik wasn’t a hat guy either until they started paying him. He didn’t like the bill in his eyes, so he started flipping it up and it became his trademark.

Players not as good as Rock are paid to wear a hat.
Rock isn’t signed up as a full staff player. He prefers his own choice of manufacturers. I guess if he wanted to wear a hat, he would.
maybe he should hook up with Ryan Moore – they could bring ties back into style on the golf course. :-D

I was trying to remember who didn’t go the sponsorship route. Thanks. Played today in would you believe a re- sheduled Christmas competition. Booze are the prizes. Shot 78, so I might get a bottle…cheers.
Nice ! Good start to the year – under 80 AND a prize

Easy.....nice round!
That should start bringing the hdcp down.
The Saints were the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS for a year...hope I don't have to wait another 44 years for #2....WHO DAT!......:)
Thanks you two
But no reductions until April here. Kind of annoying too…playing long this time of year. 6,500 seemed more like 6,700. I’m not hitting the driver much at your place Wendy…I know you want me to :)
And she'd want ya playing Slimy Yeller Balls
too….STUB

Not to mention Panevik's
Collection of Frank Sinatra style hats.
