Here's another thing that's great about golf, besides the no-names: we all know who's going to win -- THE GOLFING MACHINE as the rest of the field fades away -- but we ignore who plays from
behind, with scores that suggest less the country club than a disaster zone. Currently the high score at Augusta is Fuzzy Zoeller at +24. How many cuss words and thrown-down clubs did that involve? At that level the theatrics are far more entertaining than the game -- not to mention the sand traps and water hazards. Alas, all we'll see is THE GOLFING MACHINE, smoothly, efficiently, boringly winning another one, which is why those CEOs who forever place such fabulous wagers on the game's long-term health had better search for the holes in their pockets.
P. S. at 7:21 p.m. I should have known
one of those unknowns I mentioned yesterday would win, which should make for some cuss-word-filled private jets home for all those CEOs hoping you-know-who would triumph again. The amazing thing is before today
he'd earned over $7 million winning just once, which says those CEOs are spending too much hoping you-know-who wins.
