Well it's that time again. Golf's Phoenix Open. Actually played in Scottsdale.
They are currently showing a replay of yesterday's round and the 16th hole with stadium style seating. And, of course, the raucous crowd. Too much.
I thought one of the most interesting parts of yesterday's match was when one of the golfers hit his ball into some rocks. Next thing you see is the golfer and caddy moving a very large rock to uncover his ball.
Gives new meaning to the idea of a "loose impediment ". Too funny.
BTW, former Dawg, Keith Mitchell is contending and currently in 6th place at -4.

No offense meant to golfers and golf fans, but the season can't get here soon enough for me. As a grad student at ASU we sometimes "played" golf in Scottsdale - it was incredibly cheap after 4 PM. But mostly we river rafted on inner tubes, drinking beer.
The wife and I used to go regularly. Last time was 2019, I think. Had great clients in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
It turned into a zoo. I have visions of an outstanding halter top girl barfing into a trash can. Did the pro-am once with Bubba. Stayed over for the Super Bowl parties at my clients' houses.
Always a great trip.
We went tubng too. Sun burned on the front in that 110° heat. Blue in the back from the 60° water that gets released from the dam.
Some really good times!! Frank Kush was the head FBC during my time there. Some good teams. I recall Minnesota coming to town early in the year and they were sweating like hogs by half time.
Low humidity my ….
But it's a DRY heat.
A chamber of commerce ploy. DRY heat my arse. We were shooting hoops at midnight and it was well over 100 degrees and we were sweating that beer as fast as we could. It was a NY Eve tradition of ours to go for a swim right after midnight, no matter how cold it was. It never was.
