Are you sure JohnnyM didn't know what a redan hole is before this week? His remark that the design creates better sheet drainage is not technically untrue although incredibly hilarious.
As for Johnny's cliches, pehaps it's a well know one, but what he said the other day I'd never heard before. Some player left his ball on the wrong side off a green and had a chip really running away to the pin and Johnny said;
"This is a little like chipping your ball into your bathtub and trying to stop it before the drain".
I love the guy!
Another time Johnny was waxing on about the future of the long putter as he was watching Singh putt. He said he thought maybe it was not right to anchor the putt handle in your stomach.
He said;
"See that, V.J. is anchoring the putter handle in his FIJIAN belly button!"
As soon as he said that there was total commentator silence for about 30 seconds! I wish I could've seen the faces of the people in the booth and the rest of the on-course commentators!
Another time--I think it was that young Levin amateur who's playing so well but seems to be pissed all the time. He got pissed and slammed his club or somethinng and the TV reception went off for a few seconds.
Johnny said something like:
"Look at that, he slammed his club so hard he knocked out our TV picture!"
How could anyone not love a guy who says things like that?
