SIDE BET ISSUE: TREVOR IMMELMAN

Tiger, I just heard on the radio that Trevor pulled out of the British Open because of the birth of his daughter... the question is this... are you going to do the right thing and give me a pick to replace him, or are you going to be a bastard?

This in an email from Tiger:

oh, my....that's to bad!! Maybe you shoulda' done your homework!!! I knew that Immelman was looking fatherhood straight in the eye!!!

Hmmmm....well, given that you are up $100 I'm having a hard time cutting you some slack. This is fair: You have the option of sticking with the four players or paying a $10 fine for poor research!

So there is a pricetag on honor? Wow. So much for friendly betting. I'll pay the $10 surcharge, and get back later with my last pick.

FUCK IT... I AM STANDING PAT. MY FOUR BOYS ARE GOOD ENOUGH, YOU WANKER!

For the record, (which is why I am putting this on the public blog)... We are playing golf in Vegas; Vegas is the city of wagering; there will be wagers made on teh golf course;

IF TIGER PHILP EVEN THINKS ABOUT GIVING HIMSELF EVEN THE SHORTEST OF PUTTS, HE WILL INCUR THE LOSS OF A HOLE. THE ONLY "GIMME" WILL COME FROM ME, ASSUMING WE ARE PLAYING A MATCH AGAINST EACH OTHER... IF IT AIN'T CONCEDED, AND YOU DON'T PUTT IT OUT, LOSS OF HOLE. IN FACT, WE SHOULD PLAY THE BALL DOWN ALSO... NO ROLLING IT AROUND IN THE FAIRWAY... AND NONE OF THAT STRADDLING THE LINE ON THE TEE BOX... YOU KNOW, THE BALL IS 3 FEET AHEAD OF THE LINE, BUT YOUR BACK FOOT IS BEHIND IT... ANYONE WHO PLAYS WITH TIGER KNOWS THE HOLY TRINITY OF HIS GOLF CHEATS:

1. PICKS UP ANY PUTT FROM 4 FEET AND IN.
2. PLAYS PREFERED LIES ALL OVER THE GOLF COURSE
3. TEES IT UP IN FRONT OF THE TEE BOX.

This is what you get for being cheap. I am happy to abide by the same rules.

Tiger just emailed me to say "ok, pick a 5th." HA! No thanks... I will stand by my four dudes. Vijay is going to win the thing anyway.

Am I Artie or Andrew Dice Clay?

Do you actually have satellite radio? Hell, do you have a cell phone now? I can't believe it!

Well, if I am in a no-lose situation, it is because your greedy ass put me in it... a simple "yeah, pick a 5th" would have ended it all. But nope... that $10 was sooooooo important. What is that Candian? Like 15 cents?

He's just a bitter man... he tried to do the right thing, but I am taking the high road and sticking with my 4 boys.
