Masters Weekend!


Is there anything better than Masters weekend? Virtually non-stop golf action for two straight days and the leaderboard this year is particularly stacked. There's the guy who still isn't going to win it. The old guy, the old guy in skater shoes, a couple of Brits and, the eventual winner Ricky Barnes.

I know you're not going to buy this now, but my American pick to win this thing was Ricky. Life got in the way of posting that before the tournament started, but Ricky has been playing well lately, especially in majors. He's got the game to win this thing and I think he's going to break through this week.

You gotta cheer for a guy from freaking Stockton. How many world class golfers come out of Stockton? Plus he had the good sense to go to Arizona for college. If there's one piece of advice I'd give my son (as a guy who went to an all-male college in a cold weather climate) it would be to choose your university based on three factors: 1) number of days of sun per year, 2) percentage of hot women on campus, 3) number of golf courses in the area. Ricky clearly picked the best school for all of those options. He is a wise man. And that is why he's my pick to win the Masters this year.
