I'm still watching the Doral on The Golf Channel, waiting for this small bout of constipation to pass. Paul Casey aced the 15th hole. There's a giant car on the back of the tee box, and his caddy went nuts thinking they'd just won...a new car!!! Only, he didn't realize the car promotion is only good for the 13th hole par-3. Poor guy. His celebration is a classic, but his reaction when Casey tells him the bad news is even better. Check it out:

Johnson Wagner's mustache
Johnson Wagner is playing with Rory McIlroy today at the Doral. That's the only reason I know who this guy is. He just rolled onto the 1st tee with one of the most captivating mustaches I've ever seen. Unprecedented. Is he the only guy with a mustachio on the tour? This thing is as good as it gets.

Golf Channel's Brutal Photoshop Job

I saw this banner rollover ad on ESPN this morning and it caught my eye, not because it was cool, but for a couple other reasons:
A) The Golf Channel went with Phil Mickelson instead of Tiger Woods
B) Phil's follow through didn't look right.
As a lefty golfer, his top hand would be his right hand. In this picture, his left hand is his top hand. And his follow through would lead the club across the right side of his body, meaning it would be in front of him in the photo from this angle; here, it's across his left side.
Clearly, this is a terrible photoshop job by the agency handling The Golf Channel's online advertising. What a travesty. How does someone not stop that from launching?
Merry Christmas.
