Tom Watson Goes For Youth As Ryder Cup Vice Captain

There definitely will not be any late night tomfoolery in team USA’s hotel in Gleneagles this September, with the announcement by Tom Watson that Raymond Floyd will be patrolling the corridors as his second vice-captain for the 2014 Ryder Cup.
ray floydAccording to Watson, he chose 71 year old Floyd for his death stare.
“Raymond brings a tremendous amount of experience,” Watson said. “I played for him in 1989 and chose him in 1993 to be my at-large pick. He performed admirably. You look in Raymond’s eyes, and you never see his eyes waver. They have a focus you like to see. No matter if he’s shooting 80 or 65. The way he played the game was that every shot counts.”


Floyd was already himself the captain in 1989 and assistant captain in 2008.
Watson elaborated as to his choice.
“What Raymond Floyd brings is his experience and respect of the players. When they look at Raymond, they know he has been there. They know he’s been successful. They know he wants to win. And we don’t need anything else. He’s been there. He has the stories to share and understands what the pressure is like. He will see how nervous they get and be able to talk to them and tell them, ‘This is what I did, and maybe you can do the same thing.’”
And there I was thinking you just had to be able to drive the wives around in the buggy without it turning around to be a vice captain.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
