Me and Jeehae in the walkway between No. 8 and No. 9 at Nicklaus Private
*I walked six holes with Brian Davis. Here’s a funny story that gives you a sense of his sense of humor. On No. 6 a caddie of one of the amateurs Davis was playing with asked him if he could get him a date with the girl in the white shirt (I was wearing a white shirt). Davis looked at him with a straight face and said, “That’s my wife.”
The caddie, with a horrified expression, stuttered, “I’m so sorry.”
“I can’t believe you asked me that,” deadpanned Davis. “Just walk away. I don’t want to look at you.”
Eventually Davis couldn’t torture the caddie any longer and told him he was just taking the piss.
Bend over: Brian Davis chips it to tap-in range on No. 8
*Spotted at the Beer Garden: Anthony Kim, who grew up in La Quinta but isn’t in the field this week, having some drinks and shots with his entourage and two blondes. Standard. AK was wearing his red hat backwards to the side, with a matching argyle sweater. He left around 11pm. Early!
*Picture time!
No. 9/18 (I think) at Nicklaus Private
- Michael Putnam is feeling a little better than last week and says his game is getting closer
YIKES: First-round leader Derek Lamely followed his 63 with a 73, which included a quintuple-bogey, four bogeys, six birdies and an eagle
Rofl, putty is going to be pissed you used that pic – it’s awful.
Hilarious story from Davis, hope he gets a W this season after coming so close twice last year. The English are so much better at giving shit than Americans, we have a lot to learn.
Great scoop on the AK sighting! (I heard rumuors that he was in the neighborhood which was controversial enough as he is a “local” and was not in the field of an event that badly needs help – but to hear that he was actually at the Tournament’s beer garden?!? Un-effing-believable!!!)
So that caddie, anything happen?
I think AK is in his last year. No- not for shots and blondes. That never goes away- as I could attest to. Next year, he needs to ditch the boy routine, which means turn the hat around even in casual moments. It also sets my hair on fire when old guys my age wear the a little gray pony-tail in a rubber band.
I wish I was in AK’s entourage. The guy is living the good life, so give the kid a break.
Pete, people here are old and righteous and don’t forgive AK for drinking beer (what?). It’s not his job to save every struggling tournament with his presence, nor is it his job to sit at home and read the Bible when he’s not in a tournament. Get over yourself, everyone.
Also, I’m in love with Jeehae Lee.
