| > PS No calling to "Sports Phone" :-) :-)
The smart money would call Sports Phone & then pick someone
other than the leader. The probability of the first round leader
winning the tournament is very small.

I would have replied yesterday, but I was out on the links. I
Must admit that I have seen the first round results too. I
picked Lanny Wadkins in the Gold Digest sweeps, but I haven't
seen ot heard ANYTHING of him in weeks (anybody know where he
is?). So, I will go with my main man, Couples...!

| I vote for Curtis Strange
I also saw before yesterday's results, and also read Golf Digest
April issue which centers on the Masters. According to GD it's going
to be Curtis year at Augusta. Nevertheless Seve is still at the top
on the odds table. But that is another tourney, maybe we should
already start a 1989 Masters note.

| 553.9 | Careful Curtis, we're listening... | DELNI::M_CARBONE | | Fri Mar 17 1989 13:31 | 9 |
| Anyone catch Curtis' remarks when he was having such a bad time
with the bunker and trees on the 14th (I think) last night on USA?
Went something like this " God D*mn Mother f**king course, I should
f**king quit" Was quite audible on the tube and even heard Lee
give a sigh in the tower. I guess even the big boys get frustrated
now and again, and here I was thinking they weren't human!!

| Mike,
I heard it. I couldn't believe it!!! He let off steam, but
boy, did he gain his composure after that. He finished strong, and
I wouldn't be surprised to see him win.

Re: Curtis's outburst
Strange has quite a reputation for his verbal assaults and
ahem...colorful language. He has calmed down in recent years
(and not coincidentally, his game improved), so his recent
tantrum is quite surprising.

| Re:< Note 553.12 by MSEE::KELLEY "Custom clubs/club repair" >
I couldn't watch the tourney on Saturday, and I didn't quite get what
happened to McCumber (sp) on Saturday, was he trying to hole out or
he moved the ball? What happened?
I mean, even I don't miss 3" putts.

| Two thoughts on McCumber's one inch miss on Saturday:
- Next time you or someone else says "that's a gimme" think
of Mark McCumber and putt it!
- Golf is a gentleman's game and it was classy of McCumber to
take the stroke (and about a $12,500 pay cut) and then talk
about it so candidly immediately after finishing the round.

but will from now on!)

| 553.15 | Hit or miss...? | MSEE::KELLEY | Custom clubs/club repair | Mon Mar 20 1989 11:59 | 11 |

RE: .13,
Tavo,
It is unclear to me as to whether he was trying to hit it or not.
I think he was trying to hit it, but I have not heard his thoughts
on the matter. Did anybody hear McCumbers explanation...?

| 553.16 | It (should) Only Happen Once | IAMOK::OCONNOR | | Mon Mar 20 1989 12:57 | 8 |
| Mark went to tap it in and it looked as if he stubbed the putter
on the ground as it made contact with the ball and as a result the
ball moved 1/2 way to the hole.
His explanation was that he went to tap it in and he was amazed
that it did not go in.
I did the same thing in a tournament a long time ago and lost about
$ 50.00 worth of prizes. I have always made the effort to set up
and stroke the short puts the same as the three footers, ever since then.

| 553.17 | A True Sportsman | LESCOM::CLOSE | | Mon Mar 20 1989 12:59 | 10 |
| McCumber demonstrated the true sportsmanship of golf. He did move
the ball, about 1/2 inch, and he called it on himself. In the replays
it was clear that he had moved it, although when he called it on
himself he didn't think he had moved it. Still, as he said, he made
a move on the ball and "intended" to move it. If you swing, miss
completely, and the ball doesn't move, you have still taken a stroke.
An honest golfer calls this, as McCumber did to his credit.
It's always bothered me that even the pros are so incredibly cavalier
about this little tap-ins. Maybe now they won't be.

| I was there for the tournament and was following old Curtis around.
That's not all he had to say.
