I Know a Good Therapist

Can I have a do-over?

Remember that scene in Dumb & Dumber where Jim Carrey is about to be assaulted by Sea Bass in the gas station bathroom?  Resigning to the fact that he’s about to be molested, Jim Carrey huddles in the corner of the stall, sucks his thumb, and whispers like a broken record to himself, “Find a happy place… find a happy place… find a happy place…”

Is that what Dustin Johnson went through yesterday?  We’ve seen some major meltdowns before, but the only way it could have gotten worse is if he actually shit his pants and had to walk around with the stain in his shorts all day.

Maybe that’s the one (and only) thing that NASCAR has in common with golf.  In NASCAR, fans are enamored with the possibility of a car wreck.  In golf, like we witnessed yesterday with Dustin Johnson, it’s the same thing.  You can’t help but peek between your fingers at a train wreck.

PREDICTION:  Don’t forget you heard it here first.  Tiger Woods will win the 2010 British Open at St. Andrews.  We saw a glimpse of the real Tiger on Saturday with a stunning 31 on the back nine.  He’s close.  Even as “poor” as he’s playing (relative only to his own legacy), he still came in 4th and tied with FIGJAM.  His “poor” would be a career tourney for most players.

The correct answer for the June Trivia Contest Part 2 is (B) Jack Nicklaus.  Easy as pie.  Over 30 people got it right.  Out of the correct entrants, the 2 winners chosen at random are:

Adrian Garcia – One Free Round of Golf at Fort Bend Country Club

Andy Walsh – One Round of Golf with Cart for Four Players at Houston National Golf Club

The next trivia contest opens up tomorrow, so check back then for the new contest.
