How many die hard golf fans plan to pony up the dough to watch this fiasco? Surely Heraldo Rivera is involved somehow. What a joke. I understand lots of bells and whistles will be attached to try and get people to plunk down the $20 to watch. On course interviews while they are playing? Maybe we can get Dottie Pepper to throw back a brewskie with them at the turn. I suppose their may be some good golf involved here but I'd rather watch Jason Day vs. Justin Rose. Or Dustin Johnson vs. Ricky.
Who was it that said, there's a sucker born every day?

Ahhhh...threw that test out there thinking Mr. Hendry could not resist...suspicions confirmed! Just curious Bev...is Haggis considered a treat to be shared at Thanksgiving? Or do they celebrate Turkey Day wherever on the planet you are? I am currently locked into a chess match with a woman in Ireland...I know you're Scottish but if I mention this delicacy of pig guts and taters would she know what I was talking about?

Spanky , I’m not sure whether your biggest obsession is Tiger Woods or haggis. If you want my advice ask the Irish woman what she thinks about NO POLITICS , that angle seems to have worked with your other chess match competitors recently. 😜

I didn't give this much thought but saw that Tiger lost. Too bad. As I've said many times right here on this forum, Tiger will never ever catch the Golden Bear for winning majors. At one point, it was a given he would race past Jack no problem. Then the real Tiger personality came through. Never did Tiger show the class of the Golden Bear. Not talking money, class. I'm glad Phil beat Tiger but Phil isn't the straight shooter he's perceived to be either. And somewhere, Mr. Hauck has to be grinning from ear to ear... By the way Mr. Hendry...Amazon Prime lists a canned haggis that runs .92 an ounce. Yummy. They offer it mixed with lamb. Gross. Two things I wouldn't eat for any amount of money...sardines and livers.

According to my friend Gooch you only eat peanuts.

Don't know what others think but the whole thing looked like a set up to me. Hard to believe that it was truly a winner-take-all format. Would Phil really concede a 5-foor putt if he stood to lose &9 mill on it? Look for a rematch next Thanksgiving.

I was waiting for Tiger to hit Phil on the back with a steel chair

We've seen this before. No better example on how to bilk the PPV suckers than to set up the tie breaking event. Boxing has been doing it for years. Now we have golfers doing it. The steel chair reference tells me Mr. Hendry must be a pro wrestling fan. Surely Bev knows it's all fake! For the record Bev, I don't do peanuts. A nice trail mix perhaps. I didn't watch the match but it sounds like Gam hit the nail on the head... To top it off, Bev and I are squared off in the UIC fantasy football game, where again I will have to play the part of the closer. Closer, not cooler.

I'm going to do something I rarely do on this forum. I'm gonna extend an open invite to Mr. Hendry to my home. I'm confident Gooch will vouch for me that it's a modest home by your standards but surely you fly over Texas now and again and just think how cool a pic of you in your skirt thingy and the Spankman posted to the UIC site would be! If you can make it on a Tuesday that would be a bonus as most Tuesdays we have a get together here at the house for cocktails and good story telling. Check that calendar. I recall our meeting at the Breeders Cup and the LA PRESS showed up for an interview! I have a connection at the local TV station if need be...lol...

Surely you saw in the fly over Texas the 8th wonder of the world located in Dallas...Jerry Jones may be the only Texan that can throw his checkbook up against yours Mr. Hendry!
