What A News Day...
/Wouldn't it figure that one of the most hectic news days of the golf year arrives as many of my colleagues are taking that scenic 90 minute shuttle back to Milwaukee after fending off mosquitoes all day (assuming you left the tent, which sounds like a bad idea based on these Hunter Mahan comments). But just think lads and ladies, in 2015 you'll have Wi-Fi on the bus and iPads to watch movies, read novels or just do something other than reading the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel cover-to-cover...twice.
So for those who lost three hours of their life on a bus today that they'll never get back, let's review.
Tiger Woods reveals he may start working with Sean Foley, who is videotaping Tiger's swing on the course (he may want to read last year's UK injunction against any videotapes surfacing of Tiger).
Tiger answers yes to a question about being a captain's selection and Corey Pavin, who clearly didn't take any theater classes at UCLA, confirms he'll pick Tiger no matter what because he's the best player in the world.
Phil Mickelson offers, unprompted, information about an arthritic condition he has developed and his radical diet change. Naturally, we just hope he and his wife are healthy, nothing else really matters. But it's still news.
Sea Island, that wacky place where some of the South's elite sequester themselves to spend $800 a night for the privilege of bonding with like-minded folks who insist the U.S. just hasn't been the same since the passage of the 13th Amendment, is sold for a paltry sum.
And David Feherty, staunch Tiger Woods supporter and critic of golf media coverage since the November 27th accident, reveals a top-secret legal injunction was granted in Colin Montgomerie's favor, opening the door to speculation about the Ryder Cup Captain's future.
That final item took so much of my time and even my desire to poke fun at Captain Monty's search for, eh-ehm, an at-large pick, that I had to pass up a story titled, "Petterson Has Lunch With Colin Montgomerie."
Now that's a busy news day.
