Fickle, thy name is golf announcer.
You can quote me on that.
I watched as much of the US Open Golf Tournament this past weekend as my work schedule allowed.
The leader board morphed and changed throughout the four-day tourney at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.
But nothing compared to the announcers’ ever-changing opinions and support of the players at the top.
When Phil Michelson was leading the pack going into Sunday, they couldn’t say enough about his talent and the timing, with his birthday and Father’s Day all coming together. He could finally erase all the other runner-up finishes at the Open.
When he failed to deliver? They just wrote it off to “missed opportunities.” There were no shows of support, no explanations.
Phil just messed up.
As other golfers took the lead – Mahan, Day, Els — the announcers’ support surged and waned. They could always explain who was best, and just as quickly write them off. Might as well keep them behind the microphone, though –
They’d be murder on a real relationship.
No accounting for taste
Do you find it so stressful to shop, cook and clean dishes that you would rather not eat all?
Rob Rhinehart does.
But he did find time to research what nutrients his body needs to survive and created Soylent, a drink mixture of vitamins and minerals.
Now he drinks Soylent for 90 percent of his meals. He doesn’t find the nutrition drink boring and has actually lost the taste for other foods…although he does say in his blog that he still enjoys sushi.
I’m guessing his taste buds have surrendered…
Or just don’t have the strength to complain.
