Bits and Pieces

-Tseng wins #11, triumphs at the 2011 Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open.  Read the other day that somebody convinced her to ware a skirt during a round;  it lasted for nine holes and then she put her rain pants on.   Reminds me of my youngest daughter, Dani, who felt pretty much the same way about girl's clothes and went through much of kindergarten without declaring her sex by the outfit she was wearing.

-Big Boys playing in Shanghai this week at the HSBC Champions Tournament (Luke Donald has withdrawn - wife having a baby soon).  LPGA playing in Mie, Japan, at the Mizuno Classic. Btw, what's with Sergio Garcia and winning two weeks in a row?  Some suggest a new love interest.  Ah, the wonders of love though seems to me it would be more of a distraction than an inspiration to greater glory.  Of course, if he was moping about thinking about lost loves...

-Speaking of loves:  After the volleyball game on Saturday night, Diane and I came home and watched Lucy Liu in Lucky Number Slevin.  She's my honorary golf babe of the week seeing as I don't know whether she plays the game or not.

-Btw #2:  During the Saturday afternoon scramble, Joe Allen commented approvingly on the instructor in the Saturday Swing Tip I posted the other day. 

-Did notice that the Colts lost another one yesterday.  Even watched some of it - the early part.  Didn't they almost get to the halfway point being down by only three?  Also noticed that one of the three zero win teams dropped from the race for the top pick in next year's draft.  St. Louis dropped out by beating New Orleans in one of the big surprises of the year.  Guess there's something in the air in St. Louis this week - first the Cardinals win the series (after an improbable dramatic win in game #6), and now the Rams turn the tables on the team that a week earlier had walked all over the Colts (guess some would say that's no big deal, at least this year).


-Getting on with the rest of the day.  Golf later this afternoon.
