did I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed or did some of the comments I read today about soaked La Costa seem like real whining to you too, especially considering some of the true suffering that some Californians are dealing with due to the floods?

I think it was the 87 Western Open during which the boys had to play 9 holes at the muni adjacent to Butler ....I remember them being very taseful with their comments that time...I distinctly remember one of them saying something to the effect that "Of course the conditions are n't the greatest on the muni, but we have nothing to complain about compared to what some of the nearby residents are going thru"

I didn't see any of the quotes you have, care to relay them? By the way, any whining from a player in that field this week would be off-the-charts ridiculous.

"Disgusting.  ABsolutely Disgusting" -- Allenby  "If this was a normal tournament we wouldn't be playing.  You can't even walk down the fairways" [yes, those free pants you are wearing might have to be taken to the cleaners]

Tiger Woods said he'd have been better off putting on a waffle iron :"AT least a waffle iron is the same height..[how sweet, he must be cooking for Elin]...You can hit good putts and look great , and hit good putts and look like an absolute idiot"

Stuart APpleby"The course was really unplayable"

and guess who was the diplomat?  Vijay said"You have to just go with the flow...If you let that mentally disturb you you're going to have a problem"

after rereading I know I did not wake up on the wrong side, those cited did whine

mmmmm, they could have withdrawn, couldn't they???
