Golf Tips & Quips

Tom Watson is at it again. This time it's the 2011 edition of the Open Championship at Royal St. George's in Sandwich, Kent, England . The 61 year old Hall Of Famer proves that he can still hang with the young guys. In Arizona, coverage of the Open started at 1:00AM this morning. I tried to stay up but quickly fell asleep with the television on.

Something must have startled one of my Danes, because he started barking which awoke me from my slumber. Lucky for me, this was at the exact moment Watson was teeing up his shot on the 6th hole. People say that dogs have a sixth sense. My pup must have known that this was a moment in history I should not miss.

It doesn't look like Watson is going to make another run like he did a few years ago before being outlasted by Stewart Cink, but he continues to give golf fans memories to talk about for years to come. Then again, he is only six shots behind the leaders. I'm not going to count him out just yet. Have a great round and always hit your target.
