So Finchem is bending to the public will or Tiger's? Who is really using these Drugs. It would be truly interesting to find that answer.

I wonder who is using Performance Enhancing Drugs?

Oh god, here we go again...

Everyone assumes golf is pretty clean, but one never knows. Certainly dope won't help with putting or driving accuracy, so the only advantage is sheer length, with or without accuracy.

I don't think testing is that big an inconvenience. For golf to be up front wouldn't hurt.

It is a sad testament that Mr. Cary chose not to read the book as it has received many good reviews - from current players as well. It also shows the intent to be objective if one reads that which he/she plans to comment on. A Caddie is a human being and should not be judged only on the merits of being a caddie. He is a race car driver and has the gumption to give back to charity. Only a caddie you say? So what are NASCAR drivers? They are placed on a pedestial - not necessarily for their intellegence. So let's not judge Steve just because he goes after guys with cameras. Do you have a book Mr. Carey and is it as critically good at S. Williams?

I've been following Wie since 2002 when she won the Hawaii State Open Women's Division by thirteen shots. I think she is a great player with a very promising future and I can't wait to see her get her first professional win.

TIGER vs. ROGER - A golfer told me 9 out of 10 people know who Tiger is and 9 out of 10 people don't know who Roger Federer is. I told him find me just 1 that will bet in 2008 that Tiger wins more majors than Roger?

I played the course years ago when it cost $85 and I was an 18 handicap. I enjoyed the apres golf a good deal more than the round. Strawberries & cream and Moet on the patio overlooking the 18th green and the Pacific with three people whose company I really enjoyed was fine. Without the friends it would have been just another fine California course. For $425 I could play Sand Piper down near Santa Barbara four times. That would be value. Even among the well off there is no cachet in saying "I paid $425 to play Pebble Beach." I have played Royal St. Andrews and a host of other fine courses for reasonable money and enjoyed them far more. It isn't the money - which is of course grand theft golf - it's playing a nice course with people you care about.

Last time I heard his show he was talking about how he did a bad show because he had crabs. I've heard enough.

Never heard Rome talk about that. I don't like Rome's delivery and I think most radio people have some kind of inferiority complex to TV folks which causes them to say outrageous things with little substance, but I usually agree with his points.

And you use the Google comment like its a diss or something. I'm proud of what I've accomplished on the 21st century's new God (at least for those of us who get paychecks based on its rankings. I sacrifice a baby goldfish every night for Google, look where its gotten me).

Actually, Tucker, Cowherd is head and shoulders above Rome and other national sports guys in my book. AND, he doesn't Google himself.

"The Herd" is a joke, simply one of those shock sports DJs who speaks to be outrageous not insightful. I rarely hear a comment that makes him sound in touch with the sports world. I'll bet he never made it past JV tennis in high school.

Phil was acting like a baby. Am I to believe that the stress of playing at a Par 3 shoot out is to much for him. His instructor runs Tree Tops, maybe they could get some extra work in. What is worried about, he's a golfer!!! The people in Gaylord would only cheer for him. Hey Phil, conflict doesn't build character it defines it.

Very funny blog. I agree wholeheartedly but Mickelson still needs time to recover from the Open. I love watching the Par-3 shootout with Phil and may not catch it now that he won't be there.

You guys are dumb **** (whoops, need one more *) Remember when Phil had the crappy 2004, and everyone wrote him off? Turned out his wife and newborn had almost died. Let the man live his life. When was the last time Kiel or Doug choked with the hole world watching? Jeez, give me some more platitudes, please...get back on the horse...start moving forward...blah blah blah.

The treetops event is usually a low key event with a laid back atmosphere. But can you imagine what it would be like this time around. The place would be packed with media hounding Phil and constantly asking him about the 18th at Winged Foot. I would like to see him out there as much as the next fan, I just guess he wants to stay away with his family for some more untill he is perfectly ready to face the mauling from the press.

I agree. I can't imagine a better place to start having fun on the golf course again. Fans there would be very supportive.

Right on Doug. If you fall off the horse, get right back on and ride.He's acting like a baby.

LPGA TOUR MUST WAKE UP. IT HAS LOST PRIME TIME COVERAGE. REASON,TOO MANNY ASIAN PLAYERS SRE KILLING SPONSORS AND THE PUBLIC. MANNY Mnny of my friends hVE GIVEN UP ON THE LPGA FOR THAT REASON.

Alex is right. What are the powers of the Federal Government? Maybe we should reread the Constitution.
