Maybe the big city has created the new Ralph Loren. I just don't know. I do know that he has to be better at golf than driving(a car that is). http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/tr.massey/2007/07/31/ernie_els_andres_romero_and_other_sartor#c64041 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:49:13 +0000 simone [Visitor] c60112@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ we an south african small events cmpany that needs sponsership in getting a golf tournament together between south africa and the countries that was affected in the attacks that took place in the last two months in south africa.we hoping that the tournament will heal the relationships between these cokdevents8untries.we set up a fund for this.please if you can help us or send us in the right direction. thanks simone bl

No way you go. Thanks honey, but let me just stay home and chill and watch the kids. You go have fun. What man/husband wants to go to dinner with margarita tipping women anyway? You have been "domesticated" my friend and need to find your inner Alpha Dog and let your wife know your limits...like advance notice on social engagments...not "oh, my, we were waiting for you."

Why create conflict with the wife? That almost always comes back to bite you, even if you are in the right. Sounds like you got played, playa'!! You served as a taxi service and babysitter all in one! Kids got a meal at the restaurant, so your wife didn't need to cook while she socialized, and you took care of being the "hammer" to keep them in line. You were the designated driver while they enjoyed margaritas. How convenient!! By the way, did you end up picking up the tab? All the while, she built up "guilt points" because you weren't "sociable". So not only did you do something you didn't want to do, but she built up an amass of points so you will be indebted to her to do other things you don't want to do!! It's a vicious cycle... Next time, fight a little fire with fire...."Hey hon, why don't you ladies go ahead and enjoy dinner. I'll stay here and watch the kids. You don't get alot of social time with your girlfriends, especially without the kids. And besides, I'd just be a third wheel. I'll even make some Mac and Cheese for 'em." It is known as the Jedi mind trick. If this type of conversation sounds familiar, it's because it is used against you many times, by the female of the species. It is a cunning way of achieving your goals while making it sound as though you are doing THEM a favor. It's a little known fact, sonny Jim, that it is a part of the genetic makeup of every woman. Good luck, TR.

Parents can be so competitive. Maybe their daughters are struggling at school and this is their way of rationalising it. As far as TV coverage is concerned, I rant & rave at all the time given to ads. on the US coverage, not to mention scenic shots with no action, but agree that the technical coverage is superior. On both sides I get really peed off with the coverage given to TW even when he is not in contention. I know there are commercial reasons, but grrr!

I know it's easy to criticize when not emotionally involved but I've got a few ideas on this subject. Basically, you've got to sack up and straighten her out. You were ambushed with that social event. What, no cell phone? How about if you did that to her after she'd put in a long day doing whatever it is she does? In other words, yes, you should've stayed home and dealt with the fallout. A man's got to pick his spots to stand his ground and this was definitely one of them. http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/tr.massey/2007/07/30/golf_and_spouses_don_t_mix#c53690 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 12:43:09 +0000 Shanks [Member] c53687@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ As far as I could tell, Woods was the only one with hand warmers. What a wuss! The temp was around 50(F). I'm sure you've played in the States when it's cool like that. And by the way, this year all 4 days were colder than average by about 15 degrees. http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/tr.massey/2007/07/19/i_don_t_get_the_british_open#c53687 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 12:00:45 +0000 Ron Mon [Member] c53685@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ I like my cargo shorts, but I'll leave them at home the next time I play at Cook's Creek, Golf Club of Dublin, or the basket factory course. http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/tr.massey/2007/07/31/ernie_els_andres_romero_and_other_sartor#c53685 Sat, 28 Jul 2007 17:22:33 +0000 Piko Adams [Visitor] c53579@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Having studied in your country, I can see why your president is such a dimwit! Regarding the TV coverage, you obviously don't get the same feed that we do in S Africa. Watching the US Tour is like watching paint dry. The commentators are useless. Maybe you should watch more European Tour events on TV to get learn something about golf. You might also learn some of the names of the golfers who kick your butts every two years in the Ryder Cup!

You hit the same number of shots but TEAM up (usually the missing link in golf) to have a blast.

Known as the natural fitness buff, he feels that he can take a stance on a topic that is whispered around the world. As some have suggested, odds are that it is someone from a minor, non-US tour, looking to move up. http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/tr.massey/2007/07/20/gary_player_steroids_creatine_and_a_bunc#c53448 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 08:08:11 +0000 ray [Visitor] c53447@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Gary Player comes off real bad in this whole ordeal. He talks about the integrity for the game of golf on one hand and then he says he's going to stick up for a steroid user on the other.A hypocrite at it's finest. He's just looking too tarnish todays players with no evidence. I think he has jack squat when it comes to a name. http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/tr.massey/2007/07/20/gary_player_steroids_creatine_and_a_bunc#c53447 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 03:56:46 +0000 bogie [Visitor] c53446@http://www.travelgolf.com/blogs/ Hey Massey..........you're obviously not a golfer who values the traditions of the original game, so stop trying to impart your baseless comments on those who do.
