I Spoke With The Master!!!
For the first time I heard the dulcid tones of The Master. And guess what? He's a 15/16 year old kid. Yes, he is for real!!! And his dad's car is big enough to fit a 30lb turkey!!
Anyway we have confirmed things for Sunday, so sit back gentlement and wait to be entertained.
Bravo
I expect a full page of odds by tomorrow. Ima gonna take a piece of that action myself!! :cool:
I'm off to practice my 8 iron stinger!
So there's only 45 hours to go
Preparations are underway. I have made room in my freezer for the turkey, I have looked up cook books and am starting to prepare a cranberry sauce. I have even invited more guests to Christmas dinner on the back of this 30lb’er. Remeber TM, get your mom to choose it. Fresh is best. ;)
As for the golf I am going to play the "psychological upper hand" card. I have only played about 60 holes of golf with no practice since the beginning of October. Despite that I am confident that the Master will crumble under the pressure of his first outing to a Links. Although he concocted an almost perfect definition of Links golf, he has yet to experience it. I will win holes with bogies, perhaps even double bogies. I am sure we will see some glimpses of magic but not enough from the Match Play kid. The excuses will fly, as will the clubs. This Fred Daly nonsense may intimidate some 16 year old, but I’ve been there and done that.
Bravo, where are the betting odds? I may have to take out a second mortgage on this game.
Before jumping the gun, the weather forecast is not brilliant (see links). The Master and I will agree by phone on Saturday night if the match is still on. If it is "pissing down" on Sunday it does not make sense for his dad to drive him 160 miles round trip to get soaked. Before I hear you all cry “fowl”, I am not playing in “pissing down” rain for anyone. Not The Master, Bravo, Monty etc.
We will reschedule for the following weekend.
