I Don't Feel Good About..but happy.
Is it just me (and I feel pretty bad about it...he seems like a nice guy in person) but was anybody else happy that the pre-tournament crowning of Tiger Woods as the next and again Masters Champion and usurper of all of Jack's records went flat. The kid who won (Johnson) was a breath of fresh air. The obvious delight of the media types that this guy is obviously going to erase all of the records of the evil caucasians who came before gets a little nauseating sometimes. I know its not Tigers fault, he's just playing his game. It's a validation that maybe Jack, Arnie, and and Mr. Jones might actually have been pretty good golfers (not just good because no ethnic athlete was challenging them). In fact watching the late rounds at Augusta this weekend it is doubtful that Tiger and Leftie could put up the scores those guys did using those old low tech clubs and balls.
