    Thought it would be appropros to once again take a look at a truly ingenious media creation.

Gene, that is insanely cool.

My kids absolutely love that.  So do I.  I've got an 8 year old boy I'm about to play my first father-son event with, and man watching that gives me major chicken-skin.

Thanks, my friend.

 ;D

Boy,
Tiger's mu(o)m hasn't aged a bit, has she? ::)

...and I'm so glad to see they've finally removed those trees on TOC #18 ;D

That is still the single best commercial I have ever seen. I can't wait to get my 11 month old Tiger out to the course.

They didn't play the song in the background on TV, "Ooh La La" by Faces. One of my favorite songs ever from one of my favorite films ever, Rushmore (directed by Wes Anderson). It only makes the commercial better.

    Unfortunately, for his golf game anyway, my little tiger has discovered girls. :-*

The beach seems to be the place for him these days.

Gene - I figured that was bound to happen.  And of course in the whole, it's a good thing.

 ;D ;D

Golf isn't going anywhere.  I have a strong feeling young Christian will come back at some point.

Gene,

I am reminded of the story of Penelope at Santa Catalina Scool in Monterey. The Headmistress was giving her address at graduation and reminded the girls of the dangers of consorting with the wrong sort of men. She went on to say that "Five minutes of pleasure is not worth a lifetime of misery."  She then invited any girls with questions to visit with her in her study.  Penelope, exuding the pheromes of a seventeen year old, with a body to match, posed the question, "Reverend Mother, how do you make it last five minutes?"

When Christian realizes that a good round can last 48 times longer, he will be back.

Gene,

Get him over here to Sweden and he will realize that a good round during the weekend can last 58 times longer.

Does Elin Woods have a thirteen year old little sister?

From what I've seen of Swedish girls he won't be there for the golf.

Eric,

Is that commentary on the pace of Swedish golf or the pace of Swedish love making? :o

Just wondering, as I've seen some of your beautiful Swedish women.

Gene,

You are right. With all the thirteen year old blondes around in the summertime I guess Nicholson/Morrison’s sophisticated bunkering at Stockholm GC won’t be his no 1 priority.

Tim,

We are talking about weekends in Sweden. Long rounds are (unfortunately, when it comes to golf) possible in several different aspects.
