A Monday treat

When Monday rolls around, you begin the work week all over again and it can be rather drab.  To add insult to double bogey, TV programming on the Golf Channel is usually open to infomercials and reruns of old tournaments of which we have all seen Tiger win again and again.

This past Monday I came home, sat down comfortably on my sofa with a fresh home-brewed beer and prepared myself to have to watch HGTV with SWMBO because nothing else would be on.  To my delight I realized that the Bob Hope Classic did not end on Sunday but Monday, and to make it a real treat, four players had a real chance at taking the tournament.  Far too often in golf it comes down to two players, and even sometimes just one.   It is really great to watch that many players have to shoot it out over a small number of holes to see who comes out on top.  The last three holes, in and of themselves were their own nail-biting tournament.  Congrats to Bill Haas who, although looking like a floundering fish on his last approach to the 18th pulled off a last ditch birdie to capture him the win.  I hope to see him in the last groups of the final rounds again.  It was nice to see the emotions show so plainly on the players when so much pressure was being put on them.

Here's to golf on Mondays!

Cheers to all!
