Fortunately, it’s impossible to choke in the first round

That’s good news for my man-boobed friend and yours, Phil Mickleson.
He’s off to a pretty solid start in the British today, knocking home an eagle already and supposedly playing with a confident stroke. I wouldn’t know, because I don’t have the TV on. Maybe I’ll go do that now.
To be honest, besides the Masters, the British Open is easily my favorite golf tournament. Like British football fans, the British golf fans seem to bring that extra edge to the course that makes things a bit more exciting (though I’ve never actually heard of any sort of golf-course hooliganism - but that would be awesome).
The fans do, however, lead the world in mid-putt “Get in da foookin’ hole!” screams per tournament. Quiet, quiet, ball rolls…and bam. British people screaming. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Another reason it’s great is because over here, golfers would claim they were getting ripped off playing a course as brown as Hoylake for anything more than $15. But across the pond, it’s a track worthy of only the world’s best. So much golf today from the postmen. Way to go fellas.
