Only Legends Defend The Masters. Is Adam Scott A Legend Yet?

I’m reading a lot of pieces lately telling me that Adam Scott is going to win The Masters.  He is around 10/1 with the bookies, but I wouldn’t be so sure if backing him to win is a good idea.

adam-scott-press-conference-masters_640Yes he is one of the few players capable of absolutely blitzing the field (see rounds one and two at Bay Hill) and having the tournament wrapped up by Saturday.  Yes he has already the most recent Green Jacket wearer.

But he’s also capable of pulling every putt left and not being able to correct it (see final round in Bay Hill).  There also something else that will really affect Scott negatively this year that people rarely mention.  That’s the huge media and PR commitments that will distract him from his golf next week.  I’m talking Champions Dinner, engagements with Augusta members, the countless interviews, press conferences and being pulled and dragged left and right around the plot.  Trust me, it’s a huge pain in the arse and very disruptive.

 

Perhaps even more significant however is that only true legends of the game have ever defended at Augusta, namely Tiger, Jack and Nick Faldo.  They all had the ability to cocoon themselves mentally in a place that made them able to cope with all the peripherals and still play great golf.

There’s no doubt Scott has the Masters pedigree --2010: 18th, 2011: 2nd, 2012: 8th, 2013: Win--  and the recent formline but is he a legend?  I cannot wait to find out!

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 t...

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 M...
