Forget Mickelson, Jesper the Masters Man

While it did make me reconsider my Phil Mickelson No Masters repeat guarantee when Grandpa McDonald agreed with me, there are more important things to move onto. Like my new favorite golfer and Masters pick Jesper Parnevik.

Jesper went to the Masters without his clubs. That’s right, a pro golfer showed up at the biggest golf tournament in the world, sans clubs. Jesper forgot his sticks back home in his garage. He had to call his neighbor Tiger Woods and ask him to swing by his house and…oh, bring his clubs to Augusta. Could there be anything more perfect than this?

Here’s rooting for Jesper to get a green jacket. Forget all the bland, boring, self-centered personalities on the PGA Tour. This guy has his priorities straight. He might play golf for a living, but that doesn’t mean he takes it or himself seriously. Jesper noted that once Tiger stopped laughing, he was more willing to oblige.

Jesper Parnevik might not be the first golfer to ever forget his clubs. But he’s certainly the only one today who would admit it if he did.

Now if Tim McDonald forgot his clubs, I’d understand. Speaking of that, if managing editor Mark Nessmith is yelling at kids to stay out of his yard, McDonald must be screaming at them to stop stealing his false teeth.

Then realizing, he just left them in the cereal box.
