Figure 1 - Do you think Tiger Woods lays up? Hell no. He mans up.

Your slice you fixed is back.  The ponds seem bigger, and the fairways smaller.  You’ve lost that touch on your putter, and your scorecard is in triple digits.

Golf season has officially begun.

Kenny Mayne, of ESPN fame, has recently begun doing commercials for Top Flite’s D2 branded golf balls.  You may have seen some of these commercials, but what you might not have seen is Kenny on the road taking on wuss golf.

Are you laying up instead of going for the green?  Kenny has two words for you:

“Man up.”

Hit from the right tee box.  Don’t be hitting from the ladies tee or from the tee for ladies who are really good.  Don’t be the wuss of your group.  When you grab your driver, make it a big driver, not a three.

That fuzzy animal club cover your girlfriend bought you?  Throw it away.

So remember, before you go out there this year and before you start “working on things” (see “making things worse”), remember to man up.

I was watching the Cleveland Browns take on the Washington Redskins today when Clinton Portis ran into the end zone for a 3 yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Upon coming back from the commercial break, CBS summarized the scoring drive as follows:

Figure 1 - Maybe the graphics guy for CBS Sports is a distraught Browns fan?

Given that this was the first scoring in a game dominated by 3 and outs, a missed 36 yard field goal, and shots of cheerleaders covering up in the brisk weather, my guess is one of the CBS Sports guys fell asleep on his keyboard in the production van.
