Golfer's Muse

Did Y'all have a good weekend?

2005-07-18T20:37:00.000-05:00

I did. What a weekend for PGA Tour Golf. Hours and Hours of GOLF, men, and updates on Wie. I was almost in a golf coma.

Of course the borrowed computer wouldn't cooperate, so couldn't post. But as long as it wasn't raining I could see all of The British Open , B.C. Open, and more. I love this time of year.

To many Best Dressed and To Many Shots of the Day(s) to pick.

I cried when Jack Nicklaus finished. Oh, heck I cried before he finished. I am not old enough to have watched him in his "hey-day" but thanks to TGC I am able to see all the greats.

That's it for now before I get booted offline. Looks like we are going to get another bit of rain, thunder, and lightening. It can be frightening. I sure don't want to get zapped.

I will respond to the Wie comment from my last post when I get a chance. Y'all know I definitely have something to say about his comment. Until then those that want to check out Michelle Wie's accomplishments can do so.

Play Through.

Will Wie or Won't Wie

2005-07-08T07:44:00.000-05:00

I hope Wie will.

With a 1 under first round she is in position to make the cut, barring any meltdowns.

As for her playing partners Nick has already melted. Scott is even par, rebounding from an early double bogey on the 3rd hole.

The men of my fantasy grouping: Todd Hamilton and Stewart Cink both with a 3 under, Brent Geiberger with a 2 under.

Best Dressed goes to: Michelle, looking very calm, cool, collected, in white belted, khaki pants, yellow, collared golf shirt, white shoes, and a yellow cap. Plus what may become a signature earring for her, lovely, chic chandelairs.

And guys admit it her white glove sticking out of her back pocket caused a second look.... then you remembered she is 15 and can beat you anyday of the week.

Musey's Shot of The Day: Michelle's birdie on the 9th hole. Longest par 4 on this course.

If I had time I would see how many birdies were made on 9th... maybe later today, for now I have to get dressed.

Yes, for those who have asked, the nekkid blogger button is there cause I usually do.

Occasionally in bra and panties.

Have a great friday!!

Here Wie Go

2005-07-06T01:00:00.000-05:00

First and Second round tee times are up for the John Deere Classic

Last tourney to quaify for The British Open if not already in the field.

Tee #1 on Thursday
8:48 am Nick Watney, Scott Gutschewski, Michelle Wie

Tee #10 on Friday
1:48 pm

So will she or won't she?
Leave your answer in comments and if she will, what will she shoot?

Oh and just for fun will the two men in the threesome made the cut?

My Fantasy Threesome for the first 2 days:

Teeing off on Thursday on the #10 at 7:36 am
Brent Geiberger, Stewart Cink, and Todd Hamilton, all three, tall and good looking.

On another note while I was offline one thing of interest probably to no one but me popped up.

You know how some bloggers get all excited about where their blogs rank in google, msn, and all those other search engine crawling webbots or whatever they are called

So here is Musey's Hole in One's claim to fame

"21 orgasms a month"

who searches for that exact number?

I know it was in this post, but it just seems odd they would search for 21.

Why not be hopeful and go for 42, or 63, or some other number... like par

Oh yeah... 70, 71, 72 orgasms in a month. Wishful thinking. No one would be searching for that many orgasms in a month.

Oh well, Musey's Hole in One will be 1 of 1 in giving you 21 orgasms a month. Yahoo says so.

You'll just have to be happy with that.

Happy 4th of July

2005-07-04T13:00:00.000-05:00

Stop that

2005-07-04T08:00:00.000-05:00

whoever keeps poking me with a fork...

I am NOT DONE yet !!!!

between family illness, real life, and then my darn computer died. So I am using a borrowed one until I can save enough to buy a fancy, smancy, laptop.

So I have not been online to check email or much of anything else.

I thought I would be posting again this last week... instead of posting I starting checking on you all.

Good Grief, what in the world was all that about with Jay?

From what I was able to read before I was bumped off line (yes, I had to use dial-up, cause borrowed computer doesn't have enough thingies to use DSL) it looked to me like those other "taking up space on the web people" (calling them that cause they sure didn't look like bloggers or sports/golf writers to me) were GREEN, maybe because they didn't get press creds for the Open????

Anyway, I hope to be posting regularly before the British Open... keep your fingers crossed for this old computer. Okay?

Thanks to those that have emailed and commented in my absence.

For those that are asking for linking on my blog, my webbie friend will get to all of that as soon as she can. Since I wasn't posting, my blog wasn't on her list of top priorties.

She will be putting all sorts of goodies on here over the next few days or weeks. She is setting me up with Ads and other links for you to click.

Maybe I will be able to get my laptop a little faster that way.

I have certainly missed all of you!!!!

Now back to posting about those awesome men of the PGA TOUR

I really don't IE

2005-04-14T07:00:00.000-05:00

as in Internet Explorer for a browser... this site looks all wonky. The right side is waaaayyyy down at the bottom.

Please use Firefox. Site looks so great using Firefox.

Can any of you wonderful tech guys figure out what is wrong with the template code?

Pretty please? so I can get back to writing about golf instead of bugging my friend about it. She has no clue either as she didn't touch the whatevers that control this white box thing.

Sigh. I really want this fixed.

Submit to THE MASTERS

2005-04-07T08:01:00.000-05:00

This is about the only time of year I am truly submissive...any other time I am probably pretending to use the word "Master". Even when on my knees you better believe I am in control of everything in my hands or in my ..... oh wait this is a golfblog. Oops.

Rain delay have you twindling your thumbs, drumming your desk with pencils, pacing ....???

Go play Masters trivia.

Post your score in comments and the winner gets a "Musey Kiss". You show me yours. I'll show you mine.

Bunnies, Anyone?

2005-03-27T13:25:00.000-06:00

Did you miss me?

Rumor mill had me in Cabo with the MIA Tour Reporter, playing Nanny over at Rob's or Jeff's, raking the Sand Trap after baking Eric a birthday cake, tickling Grouchy Golfer, inspiring Fore Right to go left, throwing snowballs at Robert and MJ, snowboarding with Sarah, hanging out at Mediaguru's Web Country Club, sipping a tall one in the Bogey Lounge, lighting a candle for The Golf Blogger's 1st Blogging birthday, waving bon voyage to John S., throwing a Ball, Sticks, & Stuff, and helping Jay Flemma pack and move up.

Alas none of those things happened.

A minor family emergency had me out of pocket for the last month. All is well for now.

The worse part of being away was no computer access. Thank goodness for cable or I would have been having major PGA TOUR WATCHING withdrawals. As it was I caught most of the action.

Lots of great shots and best dressed. Although I can't figure out why Rory can't wear camo pants on Thursday if Darren can wear lime/green colored, plaid trousers. Rory is bringing attention to a cause dear to him while Darren is reliving his youth or snagging his long pants from a retirement home. Odd it is.

Anyway it's good to be back. I have lots of catching up to do at home and work so posts may be a little spotty until The Master's Week. Also I have a lot of blog reading to catch up on, y'all have been busy.

Enjoy the rest of the Player's Championship no matter how many days it takes.

Oh and one more thing... The bunnies are not mine.

Just Don't Tattoo Your Forehead

2005-02-22T00:20:00.000-06:00

Golfer For Sale on Ebay. Okay not really for sale. But his bag and shirt logos are available to the highest bidder. Plus Brian Payne has a great payback to a couple of charities. $10,000 dollar minimum bid. Lots of publicity as well. Check out Tour Central on TGC Tuesday.

So Brian... how much would you pay for a Musey's Kiss on your boxers?

Just your boxers. With you not in them. Wait this is sounding worse. Mail me your boxers. You stay where you are.

Or how about the front of your shirt? Say on the collar. A Muse could be a big asset to inspire you to get your Tour Card.

On another note... Thanks to all who have linked this site on their blogs' sidebar or added to blogroll. Hopefully I have added everybody to my blogroll. If I missed your site let me know please. Blowing you all kisses!!

extra smooches for those that link this site in your posts.

I will be upgrading to Blogrolling Gold so I will be rearranging blogroll links soon. I tried to upgrade tonight. Either it didn't work or I just charged about 10 years worth of Blogrolling Gold to my credit card.

Still alot to do here... answer mail, answer comments... but for now I need sleep.

Nitey Nite.

Adam Scott Wins

2005-02-21T23:21:00.000-06:00

Adam Scott wins in sudden death, in a "only one hole playable" duel, over Chad Campbell at the soggy, rainy, windy, hailed on, and washed out Nissan Open.

Yea, Whatever...

Thanks for coming out. Thanks for playing. No trip to 2006 Mercedes for you unless you win again at another tourney in 2005.

The money's good though. Congrats, Adam.

Musey's Shot of the Day: Adam's putt.

Best Dressed: the guys in the yellow slickers. Y'all did a great job trying to keep up with all that water and that was just on the 18th fairway.

Bogeys to those on the AOL PGA TOUR TALK Message Board for the whiney posts blasting the tour officials for not having a full field, full round of golf today. Let me spell it out again... click the links, look at the pictures... think real hard about how in the sam hell anyone could play that course today. Oh and please take pictures and send them to me the next time you play a round at you local course in those conditions. Oh wait, your course would be closed wouldn't it.

Ok... taking deep breath.

Play Through.

You always run that risk seeing a movie that the audience applauds at the end of it. A real good, feel good movie.

UPDATE: It's Official Round Three to resume at 10:30 am PST Monday... weather permitting of course. So forget those tee times posted those were for Sunday and I am off to dinner now.

Okay I give up on updates...

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

2005-02-20T09:02:00.000-06:00

Not very many men are snoring... Nope, they are waiting out a Weather Delay...

Current tee time at this very moment is 9:30 PST...

Weather Wins

2005-02-19T13:45:00.000-06:00

Round two of the Nissan Open will start bright and early Sunday morning at 7:30 am PST... weather permitting. Third round directly after.

The sit and stitch girls survived my attempt at learning to knit. I managed not to stab anyone although one needle flew out of my hand to land about 3 feet away. Those knitting needles are wicked I tell ya. I'm not sure if knitting is for me, but I do enjoy learning new things. Perhaps if we consumed mimosas or bellinis...

A very Happy Birthday to Sarah, a reader and regular commenter... and one who just may be as hooked on the swingers, especially the young guns, as she is with her bike boys.

Curtis Strange played golf today on the Champions Tour finished today with a 1 under for a tourney total of 1 over. He moved from T56 to T32, not bad at all.

So no golf. It's off to lunch and a movie or two. Hitch would be the first choice.

If you are stuck indoors with your significant other due to inclement weather preventing you from playing a round you might want to try a game that will still let you yell FORE.

Play Through.

Come again some other day... the Rain, not y'all

2005-02-19T10:21:00.000-06:00

Still raining and forecast calls for more. About 2 inches in 24 hours.
Tee times pushed back to 9:30 PST. Then back again to 11:30 PST. Am that is.

Odds and Ends to enjoy with morning coffee, tea, or ....

Men in black Come on Nike give me some color. Although they both look pretty darn good in black.

Last week Peter Jacobsen withdrew from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am with an injury to his right knee. One which had bothered him for some time, so off to Vail, Co. for surgery on February 14th. Now at home, in Florida, Peter will hobbling around on crutches for about a week with no tour action for four to six weeks. Hopefully he will tee up at the PGA TOUR's Players Championship, March 21 27.

New Long Drive Record of 720 yards was set in London by Paul Slater, using SMT Golf's O2 driver. Yes, I said 720 yards. That's like over 7 football fields, right? I can't comprend that kind of distance. WOW!!!. Former record was held by Stuart Appleby with a 696 yard bomber. Bianca Finn, a 14 yr old girl, hit a 510 yard drive. Now that's what I call firing.

Quoting a Paul Slater interview..."I knew it was right as soon as I hit it. You know when you've hit a good shot...you get the surge going right up through your body. That's what we do it for really."

"I took some loft off the club I was using after the first couple, as the ball was losing energy on the runway as it was dropping from a height," Slater was later quoted as saying. "This club has a 2.5 degree loft and the stiffest shaft I've ever used.”

Alrighty then... y'all need stiffer shafts for those long drives.

Well, I have more odds and ends but they along with Thursday's post and comment replies will have to wait a bit. I have to jump in some clothes and head to a Sit and Bitc.. err, Stitch that I signed up for... I really am going to learn to knit. I think. Maybe. We shall see.

Rain, Rain, go away...

2005-02-18T23:50:00.000-06:00

Although some rain delayed activities are quite welcome and the most fun provided you are still in your hotel room. :D

Anyway...

The finishing of Round 1 and the starting of Round 2 was all messed up due to big ole down pours lasting long enough to delay 2nd round tee times by as much as 4 hours and 6 players overnight.

Friday's leader, Brian Davis will tee off bright and early on the 10th for his second round along with D.A. Points and Brendan Jones. On the 1st tee will be Ryuji Imada, Tetsuji Hiratsuka, and Chris Starkjohann. Weather permitting tee time is 7:30 am PDT. Set those clocks. Get a wake-up call.

Of those who finished Chad Campbell holds the lead tonight with a 9 under, posting a bogey free 6 under, 65 in his second round.

Robert Allenby finished his second round scoring a 4 under today, tourney total 6 under.

Don't expect those two to stay on top very long tomorrow with Brian yet to start and Kevin Sutherland also at 6 under through the 4th hole.

I didn't think I was going to find a best dressed today with all the rain gear. Then I saw a hint of pink peeking up over a black pullover sweater.

Best Dressed goes to Luke Donald, especially when the sweater came off to reveal a pink collared shirt with little horizontal white stripes, topping black rain pants and black shoes.

Musey's Shot of the Day goes to Freddy Couples' second shot in the pouring rain on the 10th. I just love those that rattle the pin. If it had only gone in.

Mike Weir also came close to holing one on the 10th. After the rain delay, the 10th hole gave up eagles to Brent Geiberger, Jim Furyk, and Scott McCarron.

So if I had a hole of the day it would be the 10th for all the excitement it provided on this lift, clean, and play day.

Tiger Woods is through the 4th hole with a 1 under and tourney total of 5 under.

David Duval is also through the 4th hole only with a 1 over and tourney total of 4 over. Let's see if David eagles the 10th and a couple of birdies in there. The 11th and 17th are par 5's. mmhhhmmmm the cut is Even. Come on David.

Hey, I can always hope!!! If nothing else you know David has to be having a fun time with partners Hal Sutton and Jeff Sluman.

One other note... over on the Champions Tour, Curtis Strange made his debut today posting a 2 over at The ACE Group Classic. I wonder if ACE stands for Ace bandages? Oh well I will check it out later.

Personal note... hoping to reply to all the new comments while listening to the TeeBox in the morning. (and redo Thursday's post... argh sometimes I push the wrong dang buttons)

Nitey Nite.

Picture Day

2005-02-16T23:41:00.000-06:00

Mike Weir leads the headlines as he has the chance for a three-peat at the Nissan Open.

Another third is the appearance of David Duval in 2005.

This pic was snapped a couple of years ago. He also signed a hat for a friend's daughter. He really is a great guy.

Go, David GO!!! Go, David, GO!!!

Wait! On second thought... STAY!!! DAVID!!! STAY!!! Break Par!!! Make the cut!!! Play the Weekend!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

2005-02-14T18:36:00.000-06:00

I have so much to post... It is very distracting to have a life. I want to watch PGA TOUR golf and post about it on this blog. Some posts are almost done. Others are scribbled on envelopes, napkins, and little pieces of paper.

Saturday I was chicknapped and we all went shopping. I bought killer shoes. Literally, no way could I ever wear these anywhere. Strictly at home entertaining preferably entertaining while reclining. Strappy stillettos with rhinestones across the toes.

Sunday brunch turned into Sunday dinner...

I will catch up soon. I know it will be old news but I do this blog as a release for my golf adoration, err, addiction. I am humbly grateful that anyone else even reads this.

Thank you to all that are linking this blog in your sidebars and in your posts. Thank you for all the comments. I want to list y'all, but tonight I don't have time. Foiled by life again.

Have a Happy Valentine's Day.

Justin Leonard LIVE

2005-02-12T08:34:00.000-06:00

Justin Leonard will be LIVE on 1310 the Ticket's TeeBox... 8:50 am CST. TODAY.

You can listen to the Teebox, including Rick and Craig's chat with Justin online.

Chris Bailey, a reader of this blog and newshound for NewsRadio 640 WGST, in Atlanta, Ga. turned me on(hey!! don't go there)in an IM to a golf radio show he contributes to McLefty's World of Golf. This show airs on Sundays 7-9 am EST. Catch it online as well.

Leftie Leads...Setting New Course Record

2005-02-10T23:56:00.000-06:00

The leftie being Phil Mickelson. A great round on this first day of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Playing Spyglass Hill Golf Course, the tougher of the three courses used in this tournament, he broke the 64 course record by 2 with a 10 under, 62.

Five tied at second with 7 under, Charles Howell III, Kevin Sutherland, Hunter Mahan, Davis Love III, and Daniel Chopra.

The team of Jay Delsing and Doug Kintzinger,CEO of Jeld-Wen Inc., lead round one with a 58 in the Pro-Am pairs' scoring.

Best Dressed goes to George Lopez... again. I really like his style. Hey, George... Daisy Fuentes has a deal with Kohl's. Hint. Hint.
Today he wore cream colored trousers, a rusty brown pullover sweater with the neatest darn elbows I have ever seen... arglye elbows. Loved it. And of course he signature backwards tam, today, a rusty brown.
*George, Wednesday's look was a little different. I could see that look in a fantasy roleplay. Add a black mask and cape...Zorro.

Musey's Shot of the Day: David Howell's " eagle putt" on the 18th of Poppy Hills. Dang, that ball had a long ways to go. Many other great shots and putts by pros and celebs alike. A wink to David Duval for his birdie on the 2 hole of the Pebble Beach Golf Links course.

Notable sightings: Kevin Costner's extra wood on the 18th. Thank you, USA Channel. Maybe it was a short wood or a half wood. Made my brain zig I'll tell you. Hard to pay attention after seeing that, especially after rewinding and replaying a few, err, several times. He made bogey. I could understand if it was an ace or an eagle even.
Men... dang, I like the way y'all think.

I do have a wide variety of interests. Really, I do.

Speaking of wood... according to Prevention Magazine, March issue, page 40:
Guys who average 21 orgasms a month run a 33% lower risk of prostate cancer than those who have 4 to 7 per month, reveal experts at the National Cancer Institute.

On a warm and furry thought. Be sure to check on Gopher golfblogger. He's a brave little gopher to pop up among the likes of Bill Murry, that world famous gopher hunter, who also just happened to win the Wednesday's Pebble Beach Pro-Am making a $12,500 donation, his half of the winnings, to help save the libraries of Salinas.

Happy Birthday, Greg Norman!!!

2005-02-10T14:49:00.000-06:00

Happy 50th Birthday!!!!

Enjoy the party

Picture Day...

2005-02-09T19:38:00.000-06:00

I had intended to post this picture last Wednesday due to it's football connection, but we all know that didn't happen so in honor of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

This was sent in by one of my more distingusished readers and fellow golfblogger, Jay Flemma, writer of A Walk in the Park.

Another fun week watching the PGA TOUR Pros and the Celebrities.

Bill Murray returns to tickle the fans. Possibly tangling with at least one gopher who will be posting his gopher's eye view on his gopher blog,The Monterey Herald Gopher Blog.

Other celebrities to keep an eye on... Carson Daly, George Lopez, Gary Sinise, Kenny G, Emmitt Smith, Ray Romano, Kevin Costner, Donald Trump, and many others.

As always keep an eye on the PGA TOUR Pros. A few have dropped out they will be missed. Paul Azinger, Pat Perez, Kevin Na, and others.

Casey Martin will be here as will David Duval. David, I will wear a garter and stockings everyday of this tournament as long as you break par. Real nice ones, with lacey tops... Oh darn, I keep forgetting he is married now and a daddy. Ok, Susie it's up to you.

Still looking for more PGA TOUR Pro or Celebrity Golf pics. Or for those more daring "candid" PGA TOUR Player pics.

FORE RIGHT!

2005-02-06T18:00:00.000-06:00

Please give a warm Welcome a new golf"story"blogger. Who will share his adventures with the famous and infamous on the PGA TOUR.

We have shared a few chats by way of AOL IM's and an email or two. The idea of him blogging was born. While I wish to remain anonymous he is more daring and ready to tell all.

Well, almost all. He has to protect the innocent.

Fore Right!

His first post will have you laughing out loud, shaking your head in disbelief as tour life is way better than fiction, and anxiously awaiting for his next tour tidbit.

Welcome, newbie blogger. The grass is short, the fairways are wide, and the cups are huge!! DD's that is. :D

Y'all know Phil won, right? I will post later I am late for party.

Mickelson leads by Four

2005-02-05T23:55:00.000-06:00

The lead flipped back and forth during this third round at the FBR Open between Phil Mickelson and Kevin Na. With Kevin finding bogeys while Phil fired birdies. Phil with a 5 under, 66, for a 14 under tourney total. Kevin with a 1 under, 70, for a 10 under tourney total.

Musey's Shot of the day goes to Matt Gogel's second shot on the 8th, about 153 yards, to hole in as an eagle.

A lot of other crowd pleasing shots today as well. Kevin Na had a nice chip in on the 11th for birdie. I just love those shots. The pros make them look so easy.

Best Dressed is a mystery today because I was too busy trying to catch a glimpse of Kevin Na's shirt color under his jacket. Although this could have been his golf shirt. Mock turtle neck or mandarin type collar with a zipper. Kevin... FYI, there are cameras everywhere. Be sure to show your best side as much as possible.

Bernard Langer did look color coordinated for desert play. A very eye pleasing look.

Players on the move, Mark Calcavecchia going up from 24th place to tie for 7th place with a 6 under, 65. Mark, a three time winner here, quipped he would "almost rather miss the cut at the US Open" than the FBR Open.

Didn't Mark meet his bride at the Phoenix Open? Or was it at the Bryon Nelson? I get those two party tents mixed up.

Hank Kuehne going down with a 9 over, 80, to tie for 71st place going in to final round.

Notables: Jonathan Kaye, the 2004 FBR OPEN winner, posted a 1 under, 70. Vijay Singh fired a bogey free 5 under, 66.

When Black is White

2005-02-05T09:05:00.000-06:00

After almost hyperventilating while listening to, the Tee Box on 1310 The Ticket, the usually very knowledgeable Craig and Rick talk about playing with black balls, as in the NIKE ONE BLACK.

The balls that are being sold to the public are WHITE.

The BLACK balls being played by the NIKE tour pros are a marketing ploy. A great one as everyone is talking about those black balls.

Who knows if this confusion keeps up NIKE may have to offer a NIKE ONE BLACK that is really black. I see lots of disappointed consumers trying to find BLACK colored NIKE ONE BLACK balls.

PGA TOUR SHOP has a special 39.95 price per dozen on NIKE ONE BLACK or pay the full $54.00 price through NIKE.

You will also notice on the NIKE site they have placed a convenient check box for you to choose a color... only choice is white/white. Now on the PGA TOUR link you may also choose a color... One Black or One Gold.

Buyer beware you will not be getting BLACK colored balls. Yet.

BTW, there are also NIKE ONE GOLD. Psssttt... these balls are also WHITE.

Now I would love to play with gold balls.

THE TEEBOX is on internet so you can listen to what I am tuned in to every Saturday Morning from 8-10.

*Update... The Sandtrap reported a rumor back in December 2004 that NIKE would package one black colored ball in box of a dozen NIKE ONE BLACK. Seems to me that someone in marketing at NIKE dropped the ball, be it black, gold, or blue... by not having these boxes with the "ONE" colored ball on the shelves now. Why cause all the chatter about black colored balls if they are not available for purchase. Will anyone care months from now?

Freaky Friday

2005-02-04T23:58:00.000-06:00

Phil Mickelson tied at the top of FBR OPEN with Kevin Na both posting a 9 under, with Phil getting there with a big 60.

Phil starting this second round on the 10th hole, birdies on thirteen and fourteen, followed by shooting par on the par 5, 15th. Then a birdie on sixteen with a eagle on 17th. Finishing on 1-9 holes, his back nine, with a par, par, birdie, par, and a string of 5 birdies to pencil in a 60.

So close. So very close. Just goes to show you why pros hate to shoot par on a par 5.

Musey's Shot of the Day goes to Skip Kendall's sixty foot putt for birdie on the 5th. A long way to roll to nestle in the cup. Well done. Just wish you could have stuck around for the weekend to make some dough.

Best Dressed goes to Jesper Parvenvik wearing black shoes, black shirt, black visor with white piping, and flaming orange pants. Vijay almost got the nod with his choice but his loose collar look always bugs me. Dudley Hart looked snazzy today as well.

Ryuji Imada... We need to talk. Either you need a neutral colored jacket or do not get dressed in the dark. ALthough checking out this picture shows a little ole thin stripe of the jacket color. It didn't show up well on my TV.

Many we are used to seeing on the weekend are on the way home...

Justin Leonard,Chris DiMarco, Paul Azinger, Vaughn Taylor, Luke Donald,Todd Hamilton, and others. Definately puts a damper on my weekend viewing pleasure.

HOLE-Y Smokes!!!

2005-02-04T14:30:00.000-06:00

He shoots, he scores!!!

Phil Mickelson, after fighting the wind on Thursday to post a 73, gave the birdie watchers something to cheer about.

Phil has FIRED a SIXTY... SIX O... 60... nine birdies and an eagle.

Take that desert wind.

"Thar She Blows"

2005-02-03T23:58:00.000-06:00

SHE being the wind.

The desert wind gusting up to 35+ miles an hour caused a halt of 30 minutes in morning play. Followed by a two and a half hour delay for the afternoon tee times in the First Round of the FBR OPEN.

Early morning Players were having a tough time of it. With putters lined up for a stroke their balls would start rolling away. Only cure was softer, wetter surfaces. Groundskeepers with very long hoses did their best to keep up.

Dudley Hart tops the board with a 4 under. John Daly withdrew, after chasing the ball for a 10 over, 81, citing illness.

Play was suspended for darkness with 8 players posting completed rounds of under par.

Musey's Shot of the Day: goes to Phil Mickelson's attempt at birdie on hole 3... the wind caught the ball blowing it to the somewhat higher grass on the edge of the green... otherwise that ball was headed to the hotel.

He gets the nod because I rarely, if ever, YELL "STOP,STOP,SSSTAWWWWP!!!!,OMG STOP"

I also like the 20 foot putt from Stewart Cink with his Nike One Black. Those using Nike were allowed black balls on the 16th hole.

Best Dressed goes to Jay Haas for sporting a nice looking ensemble of a silvery blue golf shirt sandwiched between khaki trousers and a khaki cap. I liked it and didn't see anyone else that tickled my fancy.

Although Rory Sabbinti in black, white, and gray camo pants made me snicker.

Round one will continue early Friday morning. Hopefully the wind will go away.

Picture Day ???

2005-02-02T22:11:00.000-06:00

Yes, it is supposed to be Musey's Picture Day. I am almost recovered from the sore throat turned NASTY FLU. Right now I am weaker than a wet pussy, err... soaking wet cat... half drowned kitten... something like that. Anyway, Picture Day slightly postponed. Check back tomorrow.

And I didn't get to go to Arizona. So now I am sick and all pouty.

Someone always asks What or Who is FBR? As in FBR OPEN. Now you don't have to ask anymore.

Oh and I added Robert Thompson's Golfblog "Going for the Green" to my Daily Reads. You ought to check it out. Awesome it is.

Me... back to bed
You... keep it straight, firm grip, long stroke...

Almost ALL Better

2005-01-31T07:29:00.000-06:00

I spent the weekend in bed, rarely venturing out from under the covers.

When the doctor says 10-14 days I guess he really means it.

Hopefully, I will be updating this blog tonight.

Play Through.

Play Through

2005-01-28T23:16:00.000-06:00

Well, let's see why I have been all doped up and cuddling in my flannel sheets...

Steve Williams, Tiger's caddie, has hit a safety fence while auto-racing in New Zealand. A nasty bloody slice to his hand is the result.

Arnold Palmer and Kathleen (Kit) Gawthrop, married on Wednesday afternoon in a private ceremony in a beachfront cottage at the Turtle Bay Resort, Kahuku, Oahu, Hawaii, where Palmer will play in the Turtle Bay Championship on the Champions Tour this weekend.

Best Wishes to the Happy Couple.

Joe Ogilvie tops the Bob Hope Classic Leaderboard. Doesn't he have the most infectious smile? I just start grinning while he is being interviewed.

Tag Ridings had a interesting round.

Musey's Shot of the Day goes to the ricochet off the rocks into the canal on the PGA West course by Steve Flesch on 17th. I always wonder if there are snakes in all those rocks.

Best Dressed goes to Fred Couples. He sported a orange and white, in very thin stripes, golf shirt topped by a sleeveless, v-neck sweater vest. Combined with his salt and pepper hair he looked cuddly. Today cuddly was good.

Although, Yummy will be welcomed again very soon.

David Duval is apparently not wearing THE garter and he is still listening to Cheech. Maybe that wasn't a dream after all.

Thanks for all the comments, post links, and emails I will get to ALL of them tomorrow. I will also be updating my blogroll, adding some golf reads, y'all really should check out.

Fever Dreams ??

2005-01-27T23:57:00.000-06:00

I was dreaming or some may say having feverish nightmares.

I had just picked George Lopez as Best Dressed for Wednesday and Thursday. I must have had colored diamonds on my mind.

I was sitting in a big red, curved, booth with George, Maury Povich, Fred Couples, David Duval, and Cheech Marin at some fancy restaurant in Palm Springs. It was after Thursday's round of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

I was eating Spaghetti and Meatballs. Just the meatballs though. I was licking the sauce of off one, that I had speared with my fork, while the guys talked.

Every so often I twirled the fork in my fingers while attempting to take in the entire meatball.

George was talking about all of us investing in argyle sweaters as that was the up and coming thing.

Maury just kept nodding and saying Sweet Jesus for emphasis.

Fred was eyeing my spaghetti noodles or my cleavage, not quite sure.

David was listening to Cheech, who has been giving David swing lessons. David was doing a lot of nodding.

Eventually, I placed the now sauce-free meatball on my plate. After which I picked up knitting needles and a ball of soft pink mohair yarn.

I started knitting David a garter belt. I'm almost finished. I needed a little satin rose for the front.

Joe Pesci showed up about that time to escort me back to the hotel so I could rest and get over this sore throat. He had antibiotics.

I'll be sure to find a rose and finish that garter belt before David tees up at the next tourney.

I'm not sure if I am supposed to wear it or David.
I woke up before that was decided.

Picture Day: I show you, Tiger Woods. You show me?

The Bob Hope Chrysler Classic is off to a great start. Check out the Leaderboard Link in the sidebar to the right for current stats.

A great site to read all about what is actually happening in the desert is:
The Desert Sun

It has the neatest search feature that allows you to see what celebrities are playing with which PGA TOUR Player for all 4 days.

My fever is coming down although I am still HOT.

You tell me who was the Best Dressed and Your Shot of the Day, while I go cuddle up in the middle of my flannel sheets.

And you thought I was going to say red satin sheets didn't you.

Those are black and for the summer.

I'm HOT

2005-01-25T23:55:00.000-06:00

I have a fever and a sore throat. I need a boo-boo kiss.

On second thought I don't want you to catch whatever it is I got.

I wanted to blow kisses to the ones linking and blogrolling to my site tonight.

I shouldn't spread the germs.

Watch the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, it will be a hoot.

The Very First Musey's K.I.S.S. Award

2005-01-24T07:53:00.000-06:00

Every once in awhile I run across something or some article that makes my brain zig when it probably should have zagged.

I will be sharing those "zigs" by awarding it a Musey's K.I.S.S.
"Know It's Sassy Satire"

When I first saw this my brain zigged thinking, "Oh my what a odd looking nipple clamp".

Upon further zigging my brain determined "This could be a new rabbit" and not the Monday morning qualifing kind.

Imagine my brain's dismay to find that this new GOLF GADGET doesn't require batteries.

Although it will hold your cigar while you stroke your putter.

K.I.S.S goes to:

Mark Mender

So if I see you on the Driving Range with this hanging on your belt I may get just a bit .... errr, flustered.

Want More Tiger?

2005-01-24T07:41:00.000-06:00

Read Tiger's complete interview after his win at the 2005 PGA TOUR Buick Invitational.

For those wanting more on Tom Lehman, read his interview.

And now all you Tiger fans have to wait a few weeks to see him again. Or come back Wednesday to see him on Musey's Picture Day.

Tiger Tames Torrey Again

2005-01-23T20:52:00.000-06:00

Tiger Woods wins in a great round of ups and downs. Final Leaderboard for the PGA TOUR Buick Invitational shows Tiger with a 16 under.

Tiger started Sunday by finishing up his third round with 3 bogeys.

The players had a 25 minute break then it was back to work for the final eighteen. A brief fog delay ran the televised time on ABC over to ESPN. Thank goodness for that or I would have passed out trying to get my Tour Pass to work. What a finish this one was with Tiger ultimately on top.

Three is the number tied for second, 3 shots back. Although two of these held or shared the lead most of the round,Tom Lehman and Luke Donald.

Musey's Shot of the Day: Well this choice went back and forth so many times. Birdies, an almost Ace, bogeys... plenty of cheers and groans were made by me today.

But the heartbreaking bogey on 18th for Tom Lehman almost had me in tears. Instead of having 2nd place finish all to himself, he has to share with Luke and Charles Howell III. So Tom's Bogey on the 18th gets the nod. And a boo-boo kiss if it would help.

I was really hoping Tom would make it all the way. Darn it.

Best Dressed: Peter Lonard's choice of snazzy blue and white colored-blocked shirt. Luke Donald gets a nod for honorable mention for wearing Pink and Black.

Final Scores and Show Me the Money

Off to the desert for the star-studded Bob Hope Chysler Classic whichs plays for 5 days starting on Wednesday.

I don't think there will be fog delays this coming week. Do you?

Tom & Tiger Tied for Top at Torrey Pines

2005-01-22T23:54:00.000-06:00

at least for now. The Third round has been suspended due to darkness after being halted for a weather delay caused by that pesky Marine effect. FOG.

Third rounds to start bright and early so that the final round of the PGA TOUR Buick Invitational will be completed on Sunday.

Musey's Shot of the Day: Tiger Woods' save out of the bunker on the 11th. Picture Perfect. One of 4 birdies for this third round.

Best Dressed goes to: Who knows. I didn't get a chance to be impressed. When the weather delay was called they all put their jackets on. Most of the caddies had nice legs though. Oh heck I'll give Best Dressed to the Tournament Marshalls.

Ever notice how the golfers will be wearing sweater vests or jackets giving the TV viewers the idea that it is cold? But then the caddies are wearing leg baring shorts.

Dang Fog.

June Gloom in January

2005-01-21T23:52:00.000-06:00

June Gloom is an occurance of the fog rolling in off the ocean in June, not January. However, roll in it did to call a weather delay in the second round of the PGA TOUR Buick Invitational.

Second round to resume early Saturday morning. Gloom permiting.

Tom Lehman holds the top of the Leaderboard, with a 15 under par.

Several players were in contention for Best Dressed. Those being Shigeki Maruyama for his choice of crisp black shirt with white piping details on top of white slacks. I would really like to know where he gets his golf shirts. Anyone have any ideas?

The next player I noticed was Woody Austin, in Lehman's threesome, sporting a panaromic scenery looking shirt, but then I spied the winner.

One of Sarah's, a regular commenter here, favorite players Aaron Baddeley caught my eye. Oh. My. Yes. He did look good today. And the blonde he had his arm around thought so as well.

Best Dressed goes to Aaron wearing a white mock tee, with a light blue blocked detail across his chest, topping white slacks, held up with a white belt. Very well done. Wonder if the blond helped him get dressed, err, choose his attire?

Musey's Shot of the Day: Delayed by weather, probably permanently for this round.

Several I would like to see on the weekend will not be playing. Darn.

Thanks for the pictures that are coming in. Jay, writer of A Walk in the Park, sent me one featuring a GIANT... so if you have pics taken with other sports figures that is fine, too.

If you have your group pic from playing in a Pro Am, I would post that as well.

Tom Tops in Buick Invitational's First Round

2005-01-20T19:43:00.000-06:00

Tom Lehman on top, with a 10 under,..., playing the easier North Course of Torrey Pines, home of The Buick Invitational.

David Duval took a walk while swinging his clubs on the much harder, really, everybody says so, South Course today. Hopefully he will play golf on the North Course tomorrow. I would like to see him playing this weekend. Looking mighty fine in this picture captured today.

Dick Mast flew in from The SONY OPEN in Hawaii, arriving 20 minutes before his tee time, to shoot a 65 on Monday. Qualifying for his 2nd PGA TOUR start in 2005. Playing the North course today, sticking an EVEN on his first round, tied for 89th. Rest Well, South Course tomorrow.

John Daly, 2004 winner of The Buick Invitational, was so incredibly close to an Ace on the South Course's 17th. Soooo very close. The par 3, 172 yard hole was assaulted by John's ball with a bam, a magnetic roll to the hole, and a spin around the pin,but it would not drop in. Darn it.

That is Musey's Shot of the Day. John finished with another birdie on the 18th, Even, tied for 89th

Best Dressed goes to Phil Mickelson, in a California tangerine shirt topping classic black pants. Very crisp. Very cool looking while posting an EVEN in this first round, tied for 89th.

Phil edged out Ian Poulter for the honors because of that orange belt holding up Ian's black trousers.

Actually I couldn't get the imagine out of my head of a woman starting to undo Ian's belt only to collapse in a fit of uncontrollable giggles. I even tried concentrating on the blocked designs on his clementine juicy shirt. Didn't work.

Was that TMI? Or did you learn something? Belts should match your shoes. Unless your shoes are Orange, or Blue, or... Good grief now I am back to Gator Colors.

Time for Chocolate, I believe. Oh and Ian managed a 1 under round despite his belt... tied for 64th and you thought I was going to say 89th didn't you?

Picture Day: I'll show you mine. Will you show me yours?

2005-01-19T22:22:00.000-06:00

A great opportunity for golf fans is attending the PGA TOUR PRO AM on Wednesday of most every tournament. Commonly known as "Picture Day". Sparse galleries. Autographs are fairly easily obtained. Pictures may be taken, as cameras are allowed.

After you have shared them with all your relatives, co-workers, neighbors, and you still can't believe the great pic you have taken of Tiger, Ernie, Vijay or any of the other card holders...

Don't you just want to show everyone that great picture YOU have taken of "insert your favorite golfer's name here".

If you don't have a place to showcase that photo(s)you do now.

Send me your "Picture Day" photo, you will hold the copyright to it as well as be acknowledged as the photographer. Unless you prefer to remain anonymous or you may use a nickname.

**Email me at: golfersmuse(AT)gmail(DOT)com for the details.

To get "Picture Day" started I will share from my album.

Golf Tip

2005-01-18T22:55:00.000-06:00

(AOL ate Tuesday's Post, by the time I had finished it I was to tired to do it again. I will do that one another time.)

Rarely will you find me giving a Golf Tip. There are so many others more qualified than I to give advice. However, this one has worked for others so here you go...

Don't you just hate it when you add up all your strokes to find you have a bogey, double, triple, or not enough room to put all the little hash marks in that little space on the card?

Stop making them. Instead of keeping score by strokes made.

Keep score with your balls.

Start with a sleeve or two. Okay a box then. Do not use a range bucket full.

You play till you run out of balls. After a while you will find that you will get to where you have all your balls at the final hole.

What a success when you play a round and not lose your balls.

Imagine going home and the significant other asking, "Hon, how was your golf game today?"

And you answer. "Dear, I still have my balls. And I even managed to find some other guy's balls. Wanna see 'em?"

A guy at the club asks you your handicapp. You can reply. "My balls. I play eighteen with two, sometimes only one.

How many balls do you play with?

At this point you are ready to count your strokes again.

Oh How Cute & Kisses to You

2005-01-17T20:07:00.000-06:00

For those of you with babies or babies soon to arrive... toddlers even.

Now you can dress them up to a tee.

Almost makes me want to have another.
On second thought I will just keep practicing.

Vijay by a Birdie

2005-01-16T23:54:00.000-06:00

Tied for the lead Vijay Singh made birdie on the final hole to win The Sony Open. This birdie was his first on the 18th for this tourney. When he needed one, he got one. Shooting a bogey free,5 under,65, bringing his tourney total to 11 under.

Ernie Els fired a birdie, birdie, eagle on the last 3 holes to tie the lead, with a 10 under tourney total, in a breath taking attempt to three-peat The Sony. Eight birdies, two bogeys, one eagle,62, tying the course record.

Musey's Shot of the day goes to Ernie's Eagle on the 18th. Wow! That was soooo very good for me. Definately a big 0h Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

Best Dressed goes to Robert Gamez for his choice of pink on black. The little details on the shirt edged out Stewart Cink, who still gets a honorable mention for his hot pink on black attire.

Final Scores and Show Me the Money

Aloha Hawaii... California here they come.

Shigeki Maruyama Recovers to Lead on 3rd Day

2005-01-15T23:58:00.000-06:00

Shigeki started his third round with a double bogey. The lead zig zagged back and forth a time or two with Shigeki's final birdie on the 18th bringing him to a 2 under, 68, to lead the field into the final round in The Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii.

THE shot of the day came on the 4th hole with Shigeki Maruyama's Ace, bringing his career total to four.

Musey's Shot of the Day, however, goes to Vijay Singh's sand trap "chip to the lip" groaner on the 16th. Vijay's only bogey in this round.

A set-up do-over to show us at home how it's done by Hank Haney awhile later found the cup. Kurplunk! A blink causing honorable mention to Hank.

Yeah, Yeah, I know I said show me the players give Hank is own show last week. Well, a Muse is allowed to change her mind from time to time. It's part of my charm don't you know.

Low rounds of 64 were fired by Charles Howell III and Larry Mize, who is playing on a sponsors exemption, ended his round tied for fourth, with Charles coming in tied for sixth.

Best Dressed for his snappy, Hawaiian sky-blue, shirt with those interestingly placed stripe details topping cool white slacks goes to the man with the smile Shigeki Maruyama.

A leaderboard packed with talent, within 5 shots of the lead, going into Sunday's final round will make this a real zinger to watch.

Shopping Spree for Wie

2005-01-14T23:50:00.000-06:00

Mall hopping... 2 days of Retail Therapy, joked Michelle Wie in her press conference following her cut missing round of 4 over on Friday. A heart-breaking triple bogey on the 6th hole pretty much ended the hope of many that she would play on the weekend this year. A brief rally with a birdie on the 10th, followed by bogeys on the 13th, 14th, and 15th. Michelle finished with a nice birdie on the 18th followed by a crowd pleasing smile.

I agree with Kraig Kann's article on her presence at the Sony Open. Some will and some won't. Got to love opinions.

Smiling Shigeki Maruyama fired an impressive 65 to top the Leaderboard with a 8 under par.

Another score of note belongs to Dick Mast,(note to self: stop giggling) who qualified on Monday, shooting a whopping 64 to make his claim to fame low round in the second of the Sony Open. Dick, I believe I will call you Richard if you keep making news.

Many shots today caused this Muse to moan and ahhhh, but the only one to cause my eyebrows to raise was~

Musey's Shot of the Day: Craig Stadler's putter producing a birdie out of the rough on the 1st hole. My... My ... been awhile since I have seen a happy bouncing ball such as his actually make it in the cup. Nice surprise for all.

Best Dressed goes to: ????, wearing a juicy peach golf shirt topping creamy colored pants. mmmMhhhmmm goodness, Peaches and Cream. ???? played in the threesome with tuxedo-classy clad Tommy Armour III. Only caught a glimpse but I knew he decked out just right.

Darn computer, I knew I should have printed out the first and second round groupings. Anyone have any idea who was in this group?

Vijay's Ebay auction has 5 days left. The list of tournament tickets the winning bidder will receive along with the SUV and used by Vijay clubs are now posted. Vijay and his wife, Ardena, donated $150,000 to the American Red Cross to go to the victims of those hurricanes in 2004.

Girls just wanna have fun

2005-01-13T23:29:00.000-06:00

Okay so she shot a 75, that dang wind was really blowing, you know.

Four players bunched at 4 under to top the leaderboard, with a whopping nine players one shot behind. A total of 29 players under par. Told you the wind was blowing.

It was nice to see Tom Kite playing in a PGA event. His choice of golf shirt gets him a honorable best dressed mention.

Musey's Shot of the Day... Dean Wilson's double bogey on the 3rd.

For someone who barely made it in the Sony Open he had a decent round going,4 birdies and a bogey. Well, until the 3rd, his 12th, as he started on the back nine. Dean had a 3 under until he had to pencil in that double bogey. He went on to bogey the 5th and managed a birdie on the 7th. Final 1 under,69,tied for 18th.

Best Dressed goes to Michelle Wie. She chose a turquoise hued golf shirt topping white pants. Turquoise, another of my favorites, looked great on her. Fantastic chandelier earrings as well.

I would love to see more men in turquoise, but no earrings please.

Making Boo-geys:

Dear Tiger by Kalani Simpson in the Honolulu Star Bullentin.

Didn't your mother ever tell you "you can lure in more tigers with honey (or a staked goat) than you can with a bowl of vinegar"...

Golf Carts Rode Hard and Put up Wet as shared by the Dallas Morning News. Whatever the motive, police said, the spree was not proper golf etiquette. Especially when they tear up a green and leave 14 carts in the creek.

Boo-geys to the 5 young men who supposedly did this act of vandalism.

How do I know it was young men you may ask?

First the authorities investigating this seem to think so, but more importantly at 4 am most 20-something women would be able to find a battery-operated ride alot closer than the cart barn at the Dallas Country Club in Highland Park.

First Full Field of Men... and Michelle Wie, for the 2005 PGA TOUR Season, The Sony Open.

Friday and Saturday Michelle will be teeing it up with Matt Davidson and Brett Wettrich.

Matt tied for 11th at 2004 PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament. As a rookie this will be his first PGA Tour appearance.

Brett returns to the PGA TOUR having played in 2002. Last season was spent playing on the Nationwide Tour, ranking 10th on 2004 Nationwide Tour money list to earn his 2005 PGA TOUR card.

Brett played in The Sony Open in 2002, shooting a 73-68, 141, 1+ to miss the cut.

In 2004, Michelle Wie, pegged in at 72-68, 140, Even to miss the cut.

Both men are single. And I am sure they will be proper gentlemen as she is fifteen, six feet tall, carrying clubs, and has the potential to beat the pants off both of them.

Hopefully the two men will be ready for this. And you thought I was going to say "up for this" didn't you. Shame on you.

Smile, the eyes of the world will be on you for 2 days.

On another note: Jay, of A Walk in the Park, asked what course the Sony Open called home?

Waialae Country Club, they have their own web site now. Even though it is still under construction, they are quite proud of it and should be. Be sure to check out the Course Tour, it opens in a separate window and click on each hole. Great pictures.

The history section is quite nice as well. A private course staffed with friendly and knowledgable people.

The Hawaii time clock has been corrected. Only four hours difference between there and here. Here as in Central Time Zone. Seems someone there couldn't tell time that night. :)

Also adding local weather thingie, hopefully tonight if computer cooperates. Clock and weather thingie will continue to be updated for each tournament.

While your hand is in there...

U.S. Golf Tsunami Relief Fund begins with hopes to raise 2 million dollars in donations.

So if you have been putting off reaching in your pockets and digging deep.

Do it now. As a golfer. It will feel good and it's tax deductable.

Papa-to-be Appleby Repeats in Mercedes

2005-01-09T22:30:00.000-06:00

Stuart Appleby slides in with an one eagle, four birdie, boogie free, 6 under par to post a final score of - 21 . Topping the the leaderboard at the season opener 2004 Mercedes Championship.

Back to Back wins for him made history as this is first time that has happened since the winners only tournament has been held at Kapalua. PGA TOUR story calls Stuart,"King of Kapulua".

Well done, Mate!!

With a rain delay that pushed the tee times back to their regular spots. We got to watch this final round in real time. And what a ride it was with more ups and downs than the Texas Giant Roller Coaster at Six Flags.

Vijay Singh tripled boogied the 13th to spur is his spiral out of the lead.

Ernie Els chance fell through as his tee shot off the 18th took the scenic route by way of the cart path. He finished third along with Tiger Woods.

Jonathan Kaye took my breath away with his eagle on the 9th.

Enough so to be Musey's Shot of the Day.

Wouldn't that have been something if Jonathan could have held on to the lead? Although finishing second is pretty awesome as well.

Best Dressed goes to Adam Scott sporting a light pink shirt that I barely glimpsed as the ESPN's cameras spent little time on capturing this man's boogie free, 65, the lowest in this final round.

Shame on ESPN. I really learned something watching Haney. Not! Keep the cameras on the players please that's who I want to watch. Give Haney is own show.

Final Scores and Show Me the Money

Happy 25th Birthday, Sergio Garcia

Off we go to Honolulu to the Full Field - Sony Open.

And before you ask, I do think Michelle Wie will make the cut.

Michelle's goal is to be in the top 20. You go girl.

Singh Tops Leaderboard for 3 Rounds

2005-01-08T22:05:00.000-06:00

Vijay Singh continues to dominate the 2004 PGA TOUR Mercedes Championship, with Ernie Els and Jonathan Kaye making their moves to up the leaderboard to be in the final threesome on Sunday.

You ever have a computer melt down? Well it did and I will redo this post later. Or not. Old news now.

Surf 's Up and so are Sunday's Tee Times

2005-01-08T16:00:00.000-06:00

Instead of twiddling my fingers while waiting for the men to tee it up at the PGA TOUR Mercedes Championship I have been doing a little geography and weather research.

The weather forecast for Sunday afternoon is a 70 percent chance of rain and a wind shift to boot. With that heading their way the tee times for Sunday have been moved to early morning with threesomes starting at both the 1st and 10th tees. Messes up the LIVE ESPN's televised times. There is no way I can't look at the leaderboard to see what going on.

A nice map of Maui provides the means to determine which of the geographical depiction zones to choose to get the weather forecast. Wow! Six different weather zones on a 728.6 square mile island. To put that in perpective the smallest in land mass in the USA is Rhode Island with 1,045 square miles.

It never hurts to expand one's knowledge of the world around them. I could have spent the day shoe shopping or something.

Thankfully it is almost time to watch the 3rd round.

Putter Problems Plaque PGA Pro Tiger Woods

2005-01-07T23:00:00.000-06:00

Tiger's putting is almost there. So close, so very close. Almost close enough in today's second round of the PGA Tour 2004 Mercedes Championship to shoot an elusive 59 according to stats on TGC's Golf Central.

And close enough to earn Tiger Musey's Hot Shot(s)of the Day.

Any player that can make me moan and groan that many times in one round deserves it.

Vijay Singh leads with a 15 under.

Not only leading on the golf course he is first up to the auction block. The Ebay Auction Block. Vijay teamed up with UNICEF with an Auction to benefit the children of Southeast Asia. Asian Tsunami Relief Fund Auction starts on Monday with a minimum bid of $25,000. Winning bid to be matched by the PGA Tour. Find the complete details here.

The European Tour Launches International Relief Golf Fund for Tsunami Disaster as well.

Best Dressed today, Mike Weir, quite dashing in a creamiscle shirt with matching trim on his golfcap, as he fired an impressive 63. Honorable mention goes to all those wearing pale yellow. With collars.

What does everyone think of the collarless shirts?

I liked the one Stewart Cink wore today because it was colorful. I'm still pondering Tiger's white noncollared golfshirt choice he wore on Thursday. It reminded me of a standard men's white undershirt, the type that men wear to bed, with a Nike Logo.

But being Tiger he can make anything look great. Just made it a little difficult for me to watch his shots.

Tee Times for Saturday...

Craig Parry: Musey's Hot Shot of the Day

2005-01-06T23:35:00.000-06:00

Vijay Singh, Player of the Year in 2004, opened with a 7-under par to lead the pack of thirty-one PGA Tour Champions of 2004.

Craig Parry came in one stoke behind for a 6-under on his scorecard, after being on the top of the leaderboard most of the round.

His one bogey came on the tenth hardest hole, the 12th, where his second shot landed in the primary rough according to TourCast.

Excuse me? Primary rough. Alrighty then... On live ESPN it looked like a cornfield full of rogues that needed hoeing.

Parry stood in the bunker his feet placed unevenly on the Hawaiian sand. His ball nestled on the edge of the bunker, almost even with his shoulder,in this sugarcane-looking knee high grass. With an almost baseball like swing he whacked that dimpled orb right out of that thick bladed rough.

I wanted to close my eyes. I was sure that the ball was going to land right in the middle of that messsy rough.

Heck he could barely see over the variety of grasses to see where it came to rest seventy-three yards on the left fairway. And he didn't even lose his footing!

While I almost tripped over the footstool so I could see where it landed. Sometimes I think my chair needs a seatbelt.

That is Musey's Hot Shot of the Day.

Best Dressed goes to Sergio Garcia... yummy sherbert orange shirt and matching cap. Hot, very Hot!!!

*I had technical difficulties that no amount of sweet talking corrected last night so I finagled the time of posting to keep my posts in timely order. So you are not losing your mind if you were here earlier and I hadn't posted yet. :) Musey*

Aggie tees up first in Mercedes

2005-01-06T01:00:00.000-06:00

Ryan Palmer, a Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area resident, tees up alone at 10:50 HST. It is Ryan's first appearance in the PGA Tour Mercedes Championship having won the FUNAI Classic in his 2004 rookie year.

I wonder if it feels like Christmas Eve? Fighting the excitement, falling asleep just before dawn only to wake up 5 minutes later. Good thing tee times don't start at 8 am.

A mighty fine rear, err, final pairing's tee time belongs to Ernie Els and 2004 Winner, Stuart Appleby teeing up at 1:20 HST. The rest of the field tee times are here.

Since I am tired of asking "What time is it there now?" and I hate counting backwards every 2 minutes, I mean, hours I am adding a Hawaii (HST) "local time" display clock under the Tee Time section.

Dang it! It is worse than Christmas Eve.

Something to keep you up... or help you nod off, Pros' New Year's Resolutions.

Another mention for the power of pastels. Brent Geiberger was wearing a yummy lavender golf shirt on Tuesday's edition of TGC's Golf Central. I have no idea what he was saying but he sure looked edible, err, incredible.

Guys, I'm telling you to buy pink, lavender, light blue, pastels.

Think Cotton Candy.

You ever see a chick eat cotton candy?

Ian Baker-Finch may be headed to a PGA Tournament near you.

Or me!! Oh, I can only hope. Full interview in the January Golf Digest

My toenail polish color matches the hot pink of his shirt in this picture.

I adore a man that wears pink. Men look great in all shades of pink.

Even the sensational pink pants Jesper Pavnevik wore when he won the GTE Bryon Nelson, 3-way playoff,in 2000.

Guys, it makes a woman want to eat you up. mmhhmmm yummy!!!

Any single golfers out there wearing pink?

Over 3 inches of rain, since Saturday afternoon, have fallen on The Plantation Course with more expected later this week.

Oh Goodie. Just what I have waited for all these years, err, months, OK... weeks.

Golfing in the rain. Let it rain when the Tour is in Oregon. I want blue sky, blue sea, white beaches, and whales.

I only watch for the scenery. The Two-Legged variety. Can't see a darn thing when they are wearing rain gear.

Isolated showers all week, except for tomorrow.

Stewart Cink summed it up "The wind and rain, you see it all there. The wind plays a huge factor. ... It can be an easy course if there is light wind and certainly hard if there is tougher wind."
in a Maui News interview.

Nice Visuals in Flash and catchy little tune... "There is a place between Heaven and Earth"...

Makes me want my toenails painted pink and a drink with an turquoise umbrella sticking out of a pineapple shell. "Oh Cabana boy?"

"Who doesn't like orange and blue?"

2005-01-03T01:05:00.000-06:00

asked Chris DiMarco, after stopping his Gator Orange decked out golf cart while wearing a Gator Blue shirt, followed by "They're sweet." on the ABC special that aired this afternoon, a 2005 PGA Tour Preview.

Well, Chris, I for one adore blue and as far as orange goes. It's a perfect color for a popsicle.

Seems the Tour Pros agree that Chris is the most avid college football fan. Chris also talked alot about his desire to win in 2005 and the change he has made in his putting grip.

It sounded to me that his head is in the right place as well.

Your stroke can handle it. Go get 'em, Chris.

Article to read while we wait for Thursday, Tales from the Tour. My favorite was what Kevin Sutherland's wife, Mary, had to say.

I wonder if there is a class for the wives on dealing with the media or if she is just a natural.

"Fairways are overrated,"

2005-01-01T22:00:00.000-06:00

quipped David Duval is response to his partner, Kevin Erickson's, statement "At least one of us is in the fairway."

I almost snorted onion dip out my nose I was so surprised by his answer.

I moaned and rolled my eyes as David's first tee shot landed in the rough, actually in the trees. Kevin's shot was a nice lie, right where it belonged for a tour pro. Only Kevin's main tour is the Special Olympics.

It was great seeing David, his father, Bob, and these 2 young men for an hour today on CBS during a special feature,"A Tee Time Like No Other: A Story of Family, Skill, Friendship and Courage."

A good time was had by all.

Hopefully I will be seeing a lot more of David this year. I have missed him.

And if he's miked I won't be eating or drinking anything.

I am the new kid on the net. Actually a chick, err, woman with a sense of humor who adores golf and the men who play the game.

This golfblog will be written from my point of view. A little sassy, a little sexy, a little odd, and hopefully lots of fun for those that choose to spend their time reading this.

I have linked other golfblogs I have stumbled upon, most are more serious than what you will find here.

So if you are looking for tips, techniques, equipment ratings, secrets of longer drives, and straighter putts you should probably check them out.

About all I can do for you is kiss your balls.
