Pay-Per-View.
Three of the worst words in the world of broadcast television.
Remember all those one-minute Mike Tyson fights?
That’s what we think of when we hear Pay Per View — fights, all kinds of fights — boxing, MMA, whatever.
But golf?
Yeah, golf as a Pay Per View?
Well that’s what you’ve got the day after Thanksgiving when Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson got at it. Only thing that would make it worth paying for is if the goobs putting this event on guaranteed us that at some point in the match, Tiger, Phil and both caddies would get into a four-man brawl.
But alas, golf is a gentleman’s game unless you’re up at the Southern Marsh Golf Club in Massachusetts where you might get into a fight and someone might bite your finger off.
So we are sentencing the organizers of the upcoming Tiger-Phil duke-out to an unspecified amount of time in the Dog House. They deserve it.
And what’s with this $9 million purse when we were promised $10 million for the past two weeks?
Maybe, just maybe Don King really IS involved in this promotion.
Wouldn’t be surprising.
Oh yes, one more big guffaw. The promotional poster for this deal shows Phil and Tiger with their “I hate you” faces on, also each swinging the driver. Only problem is that Tiger’s driver is a left-handed driver.
Should we read something into that?
No Black Socks Allowed?
As the old Scots used to say, “You gotta watch out for the Anglish” meaning, of course, the folks in England.
Well, it seems if you want to wear black socks with your golf shorts, you better watch out for the “Anglish” at the Letchworth Golf Club in Hertfordshire. Their dress code at the club forbids the wearing of black socks with shorts.
Go figure.
What the hell, send their rules-makers to the Dog House and force them to wear black socks for a week.
