I thought I was a Golf nut,but your just crazy man;)
I hope the players bring their winter coats.
Can I make an early nomination for Phil Mickelson as the PGA whiner of the year?
He has really become such a sissy the last couple few years.

Tiger Quickly Builds Lead at Torrey
By Associated Press - January 25, 2008
SAN DIEGO -- Tiger Woods made short work of the easier North course Friday at Torrey Pines, leaving everyone else long odds of catching him at the Buick Invitational.
Woods chipped in for par, escaped from a couple of trees and wound up with a 7-under 65 to match his best start ever at Torrey Pines, building a four-shot lead over alternate Kevin Streelman as he tries to win this event for the fourth straight year.
The hard part might be reminding himself the tournament ends Sunday.
"If they handed out the trophy today, then it would be over and no big deal," said Woods, who was at 12-under 132. "But since we have so many more holes to play ... as you've seen on tour, anything can happen."
In this case, "anyone" might be more appropriate.
Streelman, a 29-year-old rookie who made it through all three stages of Q-school, was third alternate Thursday morning and was not expecting to play until someone tapped him on the shoulder to say he had four minutes to get to the tee when Matthew Goggin withdrew.
Moments earlier, Streelman had his head down hitting a few putts when he looked up and saw Woods for the first time.
"Boom! He was right there in front of me," Streelman said. "I was kind of awestruck for a second and I said, 'Wow, I guess I am on the PGA TOUR. It was pretty cool."
But he still hasn't met him.
"I was too scared to do that," Streelman said, smiling.
Two days of solid play means introductions will be in order Saturday morning on the first tee. Streelman followed his opening 67 with a 69 on the tougher South Course, which will host the U.S. Open this summer, and will be in the final group with Woods.
The world's No. 1 player said he had never heard of Streelman, and when told that he was No. 1,354 in the world ranking, Woods replied, "I think he might be going up."
Joining them will be Stewart Cink, who shot a 69 on the South and was another shot back at 7-under 137.
Troy Matteson got turned in the wrong direction. After a 65 on the South Course that he said he couldn't top, he was 10 shots worse on the North Course, shooting a 75 to fall eight shots behind.
Game on;)
