Masters Ponderances
- Do the male caddies get jealous that Fanny Sunnesson or any other female caddies can get away with rolling the coverall pants legs up to cool down the "boiler suits" a bit?
- Phil's two drivers got me wondering: has a golfer has ever tried carrying two different putters for different length putts or would that just totally mess with his head and only make any putting problems worse?
- "They say" seems to have become an integral part of the phrase, "They say the Masters doesn't begin until the back nine on Sunday."
- You may notice I pulled my tiers down. I imagine people probably think they are pretty silly, and I've just been tracking them for my own amusement anyways. It figures that the week after I pull them down something interesting happens. Ernie Els and Sergio Garcia have finally fallen into the same tier as Jim Furyk and David Toms.
- The Masters was nice and all, but it just didn't live up to the hype this year. ESPN's Jason Sobel summed it up pretty well here.

European Union
First off, I just have to say that I can't see how anyone in their right mind would have been watching the BellSouth while the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship was on the air. Only the occasional switch to NBC during commercials to make sure nothing insanely and historically ridiculous had happened was even remotely necessary. I'm sorry, but runaway golf tournaments just don't make for good TV. A 16-year old phenom, a talented young women whose golf game deserves as much attention as her pretty face, a Mexican golf star in search of her first major, and a former champion reascending the heights after a slump = a battle worth tuning in for.
On to the tiers, as the Ryder Cup inches closer the Europeans seem to be gathering steam. Luke Donald has moved back up to Tier IV leaving room for an entire block of European golfers to fill Tier V.
