A comeback!

OK Motherfuckers, I know I've been slack. But like a certain Victorian pro golfer, I've decided to make a comeback.

How could I not. An Aussie shoots a 59 on the final day to win the Greenbrier Classic. Stuart Appleby made a comeback to life after he lost his first wife Renay, in a tragic parking accident on the streets of London. He showed immense love, compassion and bravery in losing his wife, who was also a scratch golfer and who gave up the game to be his caddie. He vowed he would give up the game, but he came back.

After winning the season opening Mercedes three years in a row, to be crowned the King of Kapalua, Stuart lost his swing and his card. One of Australia's best golfers was staring at the Nationwide Tour. He had to use his one time exemption of Top25 all time money earners (he can't use it again), to get a game on the tour this year. Stuart had been playing quite poorly, but was showing glimpses of good play recently - at least he was making cuts.

And then the King of Kapalua makes a FIFTY FUCKIN' NINE on the final day to take the title. If you include the Saturday, he was 16 under for the two final rounds - now that is good golf you Long Reefers ! It goes to show how good these guys actually are. The courses and the setups they play are so damn hard, that the slightest problem with their swings, sees the best golfers in the world miss cut after cut. Get something right all of a sudden however, and look what can happen. One of our best golfers CAME BACK ! Go you little Victorian, go !

Since my last post, Tony the Cunt Face took out another skin on Carl Petersson and I'll work out the numbers next week. Fuck you Collingwood Poofter Boy !

Next week we have a great field as it is one of the four World Golf Championships of the year, the Bridgestone Invitational. This week you will see a longer A List and a shorter C List than you are used to, but it still makes it a hard week to pick your players.

Firestone is one hell of a course, and a certain Nike Sponsored player, who has a hard time reversing when fire hydrants are near by, has owned this event since it's inception. He is out of form (by his standards), but we know he is going to "find it" soon, and make a comeback of his own.

Will it be this week? Who knows. But I can tell you this. When it comes to winning at Firestone, short and straight hitters need not apply. The winner will be one of the longer drivers, who also manages to keep it on the fairway for most of the week. He'll need to putt well too, as the greens will be fast, and so birdies as well as scrambling will be key.

For my mind, that means we need to come back to the class acts  - e.g. Tiger, Philly Mick, the Big Easy - you get the picture

Good Luck all!
