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.

U.S. Open Pebble Beach Fever

The latest and greatest Guess That Hole contest of June 2010 ended yesterday.  I thought it was pretty easy, but that’s just because I’ve played there a bunch.  The correct answer was Bear Creek Masters Hole #8.  There were only 8 people who got it right and the winner chosen at random is:

Mark Kramer (Sugar Land)

Congrats to Mark and his 3 lucky friends who get the free golf 4some at Bear Creek Golf World.

I’m not quite done today.  As you may have heard on the news, this upcoming weekend is the FRIGGIN U.S. OPEN!!!!!  At Pebble Beach none the less!  So many story lines to choose from.  Will Phil take over the #1 ranking?  Can Tom Watson follow up his amazing run at last year’s British Open on another course he’s won at? Oh, and there’s this guy called Tiger Woods who’s also playing.  Can he finally put some magic together?

This week’s Houston Golf Nut Trivia Contest is opening up right now.  Enter HERE!  There are 2 prizes up for grabs.  Free golf at Fort Bend Country Club and free golf at Houston National.

Don’t forget.  Houston Golf Nut has already given away OVER 60 ROUNDS OF FREE GOLF in 2010 and the year isn’t even half way over!  Check out the winner’s list and past contests here.

Good Luck!

The Shark Attacks

Okay, this last trivia question was a softball.  Almost everybody got it right, but there were a few sad sacks out there who didn’t.  For a refresher, here’s the question again.

Who holds the most weeks at the number 1 world golf ranking after Tiger Woods?

(A) Jack Nicklaus
(B) Greg Norman
(C) Nick Faldo
(D) Phil Mickelson

As stated in the intro of the trivia page, the World Golf Rankings didn’t start until 1986.  That pretty much eliminates Jack.  Everyone should know that Phil has never been #1, although it’s in his sights this weekend.  That leaves Greg and Nick.  I found this perfect chart on Wikipedia:

Now we know that Greg Norman is the correct answer (and by a long shot).  And I think we can also see how Tiger Woods has treated the rest of the PGA like a red-headed stepchild with a glass eye and a wooden leg.

Out of all of the correct entrants, 2 winners were chosen at random.  And the Houston Golf Nut Trivia Contest – May 2010 Part 3 winners are:

Dale Morrison – Free Round of Golf for 4 (including green free, carts, and range balls) at Blaketree National Golf Club (Tuesday – Friday)

Stephen Schulz – One Round of Golf with Cart for 4 Players at Houston National Golf Club (Mon – Thurs)

The next Trivia Contest will start on June 1st, so come back soon.
