The 92nd PGA

WOW! What a tournament. I was not a fan of this course to begin with and this tops it off. There was a moment during the week where I thought to myself "This is boring". It was not till Sunday afternoon at about 4:30 eastern time did I focus in. We had a five way race with D. Johnson, Z.Johnson, R.McIlroy, BuBBA and M.Kaymer. Sure others made a push. When Dustin Johnson came to the 18th green, I had this feeling. The feeling was he was going to hit a bad drive. Sure enough he went 20 rows deep into the crowd. He found his ball in a "bunker", or was it? Dustin Johnson did not think it was a bunker nor did his caddy. But the rules sheet did say --"All areas of the course that were designed and built as sand bunkers will be played as bunkers (hazards), whether or not they have been raked. This will mean that many bunkers positioned outside of the ropes, as well some areas of bunkers inside the ropes, close to the rope line, will likely include numerous footprints, heel prints and tire tracks during the play of the Championship. Such irregularities of surface are a part of the game and no free relief will be available from these conditions."--

This is a dumb rule! What courses allow fans to walk through bunkers? Oh I guess this one does. It is like the folks from Whistling Straits wanted to prove a point. Wanted to be like we have 1200 bunkers and we are the best! This bunker should have been a waste bunker. Yes, after watching the replay, you can see the lip of the bunker. But I see grass and such, it looked like a "manger" said CBS golf analysis David Feherty. What a classic quote. But overall this rule was dumb and should have been in effect! It will be interesting to see what happen in 2015.

Brett Favre


What a game last night! Yeah Favre tossed a INT when he was driving down the field. Yeah you don't throw across your body .. EVER. But what a season Brett Favre had. He tossed for 4,202 yards with 33 TD and 7 INTS. He turned Rice into a star and made the Vikings better. At the begging of the season all talks were AP was going to have to carry this team. Turned out Brett had to carry the team. He won a lot of games this season was the reason why the Viking were only seconds away from a Super Bowl.

Brett took so many hits last night and kept getting back up ! What a STUD. He showed how everyone should play the game. When Brett Favre is back there anything is possible. Will he come back next year? Who knows. When will we know? Not sure. I would love to see him come back for another season.
