From thegolfchannel.com talking about Phil:
"At the 90-hole Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, Lefty somehow parred just
half the holes (45) - the other half were birdies, eagles, bogeys or
worse. "
Well, duh. If 1/2 of his scores were par it would make a whole lot of
sense that 1/2 of them weren't.

Thanks Mister Obvious.
There isn't enough bandwidth here to discuss the idiocies of golf,
golfers, and golf commentators.

This is not the worst offense.
"If Tiger plays the Nissan, and wins, that'll be 8 wins in a row. Then
if he plays the next tournament and wins, he'll only be two wins away
from Byron Nelson's record. One more win and he'll be just 1 away from
tieing. Now, with 10 wins in a row, Tiger will need just one mroe win.
That could come at the......"
This is overhyping the hype with hyper-activated hype.

And if he has tied the record when the Masters starts - he might be
motivated to win.
(Staying with the thread)

??
Maybe the point was the other half included eagles and holes worse than
bogey. Without that statement you would be left to wonder what other scores
were recorded - just birdies and bogeys? Any eagles? Anything worse than
bogey?

The point is that in their the tortured efforts to find something
interesting to say about a sporting event, and show their vast
knowledge, many recent J school grads merely expose their lack of
writing talent. To wit, this Mickleson tidbit.
What exactly is the writier trying to tell us? That PM parred only half
the holes? Why is this interesting? It might be if he parred half and
birdied half to wind up -45. This would be both a rekable score and
an interesting way of doing it just as making 18 fours is a more
interesting way of shooting 72 than 13 pars, an eagle, three bogeys and
a birdie. But it was neither.
I have been a big fan of the Golf Channel for many years, with Golf
Central a fixture on my daily tv sked. But the recent hiring of Inga
Hammond and her affected way of shpeaking about the shensational waysh
Tiger hash dominated the fieldsh at the shpeshial eventsh he entersh has
killed it for me. Crummy writing merely confirms my decision.
