Spieth gets the career slam.   

[Goose]

Speith is definitely in much better form. It the putter holds up; he is a very solid pick.

Don't sleep on Hideki this week.

Time for Justin Thomas to show he's not just a LUP-er but a real golfer.  Let's see what Rib does this week, too, after his big Sunday at Augusta

He's upgrading from backdoor top 10 to comfy top 10. The guy is a porch dog now.

I have to ask. LUP-er?

A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one — big hitter, the Lama — long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Bravo.




A pond would be good for you.

Southern Hills getting ripped for charging $19 for a Stella Artois and $18 for a Michelob Ultra.

We all know beer prices at sporting events are ridiculous. But nearly $20 a pop for that swill? Yikes!

Tough break for golf bros. 

[Goose]

Not sure on the beer size at the PGA, but those were the prices at The Ryder Cup for 24 oz beers.

[tower912]

The bro tax.

I saw it would be the same in Tulsa

Thanks!

Also, great work on the Caddyshack reference.

Belgian Bud Light!!

One of the most absurd marketing gimmicks in all of US alcohol sales is the idea that Stella is some fancy brew

Hey, KFC is the dinner of choice for Christmas in Japan.  Foreign stuff can seem exotic.

If there weren't countless other higher caliber European/Belgian beers, maybe you'd have a point.  Its Bud loving idiots who think Stella is amazing cause AB told them it is.

[The Sultan]

I do have a point. There is fried chicken in Japan better than KFC.

Nobody is eating KFC in Japan cause it is fancy.  There are a million American brands that do great elsewhere cause they are American.  Stella is marketed as some elite brand with a fancy glass and posh imagery.  Its not cause its exotic, its cause AB cashes in on ignorant Americans who hear a brand they've never heard of and assume its fancy and high quality.

But hey, if you think the Asian markets view towards Western products and brands are the same as bro drinking culture in the US, go ahead.

You're wrong about this.

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/kfc-christmas-tradition-japan/index.html

A typical KFC Christmas ad from the 1970s or '80s likely would have showcased a family enjoying a luscious feast of golden, fried chicken as the song "My Old Kentucky Home" played in the background.

"For anybody who grew up in America, you immediately knew that 'My Old Kentucky Home' is not a Christmas carol," says Bestor.

"But [these were] really beautifully done campaigns that linked fried chicken with Christmas as well as Christmas with the idea of consuming luxurious foods. Obviously, the idea took hold."

PGA sending out Tiger-Rory-Spieth as a threesome Thurs-Friday.  Good luck to the group in front and behind them

[MU82]

Are we allowed to think of Tiger as a golfer for this one, rather than a miraculous survivor of an accident who's just happy to be alive?

The latter goes without saying. But he's Tiger Effen Woods, and he's all about winning majors.

Tiger has a good pairing the first two rounds. Playing with Rory one of his closest friends on tour and has a good relationship Spieth. Should be a fun couple of days .

The weather will be warm which should help with Tigers back.
