Suggestions back-in Masters champ Trevor Immelman's wife is hotter than Tiger Woods' Elin are crazy
Add commentsSoon after Trevor Immelman backed into the most uninteresting green jacket ceremony ever, I received an e-mail from a sports writer colleague who wondered if I agreed that Immelman’s wife Carminita is hotter than Elin Woods. Which immediately caused me to spit up Pepsi on my keyboard and rip off the kind of expletive string that Tiger Woods used to fling out back when he was still good.
Sure, Carminita is another hot blonde golfer’s wife, but comparing her to Elin is akin to comparing Jennie Garth to Elisha Cuthbert. No offense, Trevor. Especially since you landed Carminita before anyone knew who you were (which was Saturday for most of America) unlike Tiger and Elin. But no one of sound mind can think this is a competition.
Elin is Elin. That’s why she’s with the greatest golfer in history.
By the way, this is what guys really talk about. Not getting a token woman or two into a golf club that you have to be Steve Spurrier famous or ridiculously well connected (and often both) just to play a few times like WorldGolf.com’s resident liberal loon William K. Wolfrum would have you believe with his irrelevant Martha Burk crusade.
I’m all for equality, though. Surely, Jennifer Mario will chime in whether she still thinks that Retief Goosen is still the dreamiest after he continues to be almost as pushed aside as Martha Burk.
Sure, Immelman won the Masters. But let’s not get crazy and diss Elin in premature green jacket blindness.

Tiger getting second in a Major is history. Jack placed second a lot.
Witness another Mickelson meltdown.
Who is flipping their bravado lips on Tiger but not equaling his score!
Immelman now has to shed the One Major Wonder title with many others, like Zach Randolph.
He's under pressure to win more tournaments this season suddenly. Zach Randolph won tournaments in the state of Georgia oddly, nowhere else last year.
Media should goad Immelman, can he catch Tiger? No he can't, maybe not his in golfing lifetime! But he could look at achieving Mickelson's success.
Do as well in winning like Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, those two more accomplished South Africans.
I like beautiful women, but when watching golf its only the guys that have my focus.
Would that you were correct that all the hype about a Tiger Grand Slam being put to rest.
The Golf Channel announcers as well as those from the major networks will gush about Woods long after he puts away his clubs.
Even when Tiger isn't in the field, every other word on television concerning the sport of golf is about him.
And yesterday at the Masters,
the fawning by Nance, Feherty, Faldo, and Kostis was enough to induce nausea.
When Tiger birdied eleven yesterday, which left him five shots from the lead, the CBS brownnosers were positively ecstatic. They were sure he was going to charge into the lead and possibly even win the tournament, something he has never done in a major. When he bogeyed the very next hole with a three putt, they bemoaned his "terrible putting", conveniently ignoring the fact that on the previous hole he had dropped a 75-foot bomb.
They ran on and on about how Woods game was far below his best, again ignoring the fact that he scored as good or better than all but four players in thr 45-man field.
I don't know who is responsible for all of this blatant Woods sycophancy, but it sure gets tiresome.
The guy is good, everybody with a lick of sense knows it, but enough already with the incessant boot-licking.
Tiger played steady golf in the recent Master, scoring two rounds at even par in tough conditions, and two other rounds in five under par to finish second. That's good golf for anybody at any time. But you'd never know it from the bellyaching coming from from the TV crew.
Tiger was five strokes out of first when he finished yesterday, and the fact is that he was never in contention to win the tournament. Trevor was ahead of Woods by four after one round, seven after two rounds, and six after three rounds. As they say in horse racing parlance, Trevor was the "easiest" kind of winner.
But alas, guys, look for the fervent Tger worship to continue the next time he tees it up.

Lastly, there is Woods' racial background. As with Barack Obama, he benefits from our affirmative-action mentality.
John D and Bobb will be dismayed when they read Dot Wong's blog of this day.
In it, she writes that Woods will have to wait until 2009 for his calendar Grand Slam. She also says that although Tiger was able to mount a strong comeback, he couldn't take advantage of numerous opportunities. Strng comeback? kind of makes one wonder what tournament she was watching.
The one I liked was written a few weeks ago. A headline in the Chicago Tribune read "Ogilvy wins CA championship, ends Tiger's string." They neglected to even mention tht three other golfers also scored better than Woods.
These are much the same culprits with the same mentality that tried to palm off Bubbles, the erstwhile phenom, onto the sporting public. They succeeded quite well until the good ship Wie ran aground. Too bad, those clowns were such fun.

Otherwise, I agree with Alex. (And it's not because of his military background--the only reason anyone listens to McCain. :))
I wouldn't call Tiger's game in the recent Masters mediocre, much less bad, as you called it.
The conditions were tough: Fierce winds and greens like a sloping marble staircase.
Par was indeed a good score, which is as it should be for a major event.
To whom do you listen, Rev. Wright?

Reality is not so much what you see, it's where you're stading when you look.
Yes, they are the same culprits.
Kiel,
Woods did not play bad golf. In fact, his performance was good enough to propel him from where he started the day into sole second place.
What bedeviled Woods was that quite a number of putts didn't drop, but that's golf. Sure, you might say that it's a tremendous departure from the stellar putting he exhibited most of last year, but that's also golf. That stellar putting was more anomalous than Woods miscues at Augusta. For a long time he was on a hot streak with the flat stick, but all good things must come to an end.
