Expect 135 Yard 8-Irons From Tiger Woods Today

Tiger would will play in the first round of the Quicken Loans National today, but only because he is hosting the event, and attempting to appease a new sponsor.

Woods was by all accounts, well below average in the Pro-Am yesterday, spraying his driver around Congressional and wincing more in frustration than in pain.

He told reporters yesterday  "I'm out there pumping 8-irons 135 and that's all I have."

Woods still also maintained that playing this week represented a minimal risk to his recovery following an op for a pinched nerve and referred to  strange goal that didn't involve Major Championships.
"I'm just trying to get in the Playoffs somehow," said Woods. 
Tiger also admitted he'll never be able again to trouble the younger longer hitters of the game, such as Bubba, for distance.
 "I've had to rely on different parts of my game and strategy and understand how course management skills are improved."

So it'll be interested to see how he gets on today. Beware the injured golfer and all that.

I for one am not buying it and still think Woods can contend at The Open Championship in late July.  After all when he won there in 2006, he didn't hit driver once all week.  What could be more perfect for a man hitting 8-irons 135 yards?

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
