What a Wild and Woolly Weekend

Well, it was a wild wild weekend in the world of golf. I was on a bender over the weekend that by Sudnay left me without a voice or the emotional fortitude to even leave my apartment. So, it was all I could do to watch golf on my couch, under a blanket and afraid of the future . From this I learned that I am officially too old to go out until 2 AM two nights in a row, and that my couch is eight inches short than me, which sucks generaly, but which really starts to suck after six hours.

While I lounged on the leather-bound Oriental torture device that is my sofa, I got to see most of a great round at the Nissan Open, including a three-hole playoff between FIGJAM and Chucky Three Sticks that was a lot like my golf game--it involved hitting off a cartpath, into a tree, and
a choke job. CH3 (not to be confused with CB4), pulled out his second career victory. The interesting thing is, Mickelson and Chip Howell could very well meet again this week at the Accenture Match Play Championship. Lefty will have to beat Richard Green and the winner of Michael Campbell v. Justin Rose while Chipper has to beat Stuart Appleby and either Sergio Garcia or Darren Clarke. Howell probably has a much tougher road to hoe, but he's playing about the best golf of his career right now, so we'll wait with bated breath.

On another, better, note, here's Marissa Miller and Sarah Spain at the SI Swimsuit party in Vegas this weekend at the Great American Vice-Off that was the NBA All-Star game in Las Vegas this weekend.
