My 89 versus Tiger's 79 and Ishikawa's 58

I only asked for breaking the 90s.

My caddies don't get it. One wanted a MObike and other added a MObile to the list.
And they dont forget to remind whenever I see them.

They are both MOthering my mind!

Still I managed 87 and 91 in last two rounds of April 2010.

I think my next round can be good - and I can aim at breaking the 85 next.

Hyderabad has this culture where all kinds of people get on your nerves for money.
I lost my nerve with my gym trainer not long ago. "Anna - I need Rs 5000 desperately".

Now, can I focus on getting 2 ON (I missed two simple 100 yard 2nd shots to the green after great 250 yards off the tee) or what??



I dont envy Tiger for losing his nerve this week to get worst round in a tournament on US soil. 79 at Quail Hollow.



And how does Ishikawa - 18 yr old - get the nerve to pull 58 at Japan Open.


Anyway, I hit 2 buckets with 9, p/w and s/w. Half backswings gave me 90% of the distance with good direction. Distraction from caddies should be a disincentive to break-away from. 85 and I can play on the caddy-less course.

Where are Desis on Asian Tour this year?

2008 had Jeev on top of Asian Tour with $1.4 Mn earning.
2009 it was Jaidee (Thailand) with $981k. Top desi was Jyoti at # 5 with $341k.
Bhullar was 6th.
Desis havent started rocking the circuit yet in 2010. Gangjee and Bhullar are at 8th and 9th.

PGA Tour rankings for week 16th show Jeev at 75th and Bhullar at 125th.
Big events this quarter are Ballantine's in Korea (April 22nd) and US Open (June 17th).

Bhullar did well to win the Suwan event in Feb, but there hasnt been much to cheer since then.
Too hot in Hyderabad to play and not much to stay glued to TV either.
Where are our fellas this summer?
Dont tell me they are playing at tournaments in Dharamshala and Ranikhet.
Guys - beat the heat, get up and get noticed!!

16 yr old at the Masters

Youth is over-rated. Think again!
Matteo Manassero.
Likes of Jim Furyk are cooling their heels while this kid scores a 71 on Thursday at the Masters.
If you want to beat his low-age record at the Masters, you have to win British Amateurs - that gets you an invite to two majors - the British and the Masters.
And you have to be below 16.
Ugh! Now what was I doing at 16?
Damn! Trigonometry and chemical reactions. Copper with nitric acid.
Well, at the British Open it was Tom Watson in the limelight and its Mr Woods at the Masters.
Westwood has shown tenacity in maintaining his lead into the final day.
Cool guy Phil is enjoying it too - he says it 'cause the woods here are forgiving.
Damn, I have my driving range is shut-down - just when I was beginning to enjoy hacking the driver with my corrected spine-tilt. May be I can try pacticing plastic balls, since they are allowing irons anyway. My golf widget told me that Norman went from h/cap of 27 to even in 2 years. Matteo and Watson - you guys inspire me!
