…The Dude abides

Recently, during the Doral telecast, Nick Faldo was heard saying that he didn’t understand the loyalty Aarron Baddeley and Mike Weir have shown toward the instructors Andy Plummer and Mike Bennet. Really?? Hey Nick, wasn’t Mike Weir 11th on the money list when you made these statements? Oh, and what was Aarron’s world ranking before ‘06 when he worked with Leadbetter? How many tour wins did he have? When he was with David, he wasn’t even eligible FOR the tournament you were broadcasting! Your comments are not based on facts and demonstrate a complete lack of professionalism. They could even be considered a conflict of interest since you yourself claim to be a golf instructor.

Watched 20 minutes of the CA Doral telecast and saw 4 different players hit shots. Maybe the producers in America should watch the coverage of a European Tour event. BP

Would pay money to see a fivesome of Haney, Leadbetter, Kostis, Mclean, and Mike Bennet play a televised round on a US Open quality golf course. Guarantee only one of those guys has a chance of breaking 80. (hint: his last name starts with a Bennet)

Being long time Laker fans, Schopper and I were extremely happy to see Stephon Marbury get shipped to the Celtics. It pretty much guarantees that Boston will not repeat as NBA champs. Go Pitt.
