I used to watch golf on my black and white fifty years ago.

I would actually see 290 yard par fours....390 yard par fives....hahahahah

You never had any idea what year the video you were watching was taped. And you sure the hell could never follow the ball. hahahaha

I even caddied in my teens at a prime golf course in Edina that once hosted tournaments with the likes of Bobby Jones.

Golf courses represent something in the human consciousness.

There is the sphere of the human and the sphere of nature.

Never the twain shall meet.

And yet, the writers in the middle ages would attempt to combine the two through structural methods.

Oh yes there is the farm. For sure! But the farm represents the domestication of the wild and therefore brings the natural sphere into the domestic sphere!

Lancelot or Tristan or Gawain would find themselves in the realm of insanity. Usually this condition was brought about by women!

But there were other forces at work in making these great knights short circuit their neurons. I mean you kill enough soldiers in battle and you wonder if you have actually done the right thing, even following good confessions and good acts of contrition.

They would end up naked because in order to experience rebirth, the knight must totally remove himself from any resemblance to human society.

But they must also find themselves naked in the middle of the deep dark forest; far from the control of the forces of the so called human nature.

In the middle of the forest the victim would find himself unconscious and and unawares of his condition.

But redemption was a must in Medieval mythology. So a hermit with some theological degree or at least training would find the naked corpse; take the fellow into his arms and into his cottage and help bring him back to health and sanity.

Even following the help from the shaman with his medicinal herbs and mushrooms and barks, the healed knight would depart clothed in the hermits garb and seek further healing at some monestary at the edge of the forest. This was symbolic of the line between the human and the divine, the human and the natural.

The golf course represents a further structural attempt by the human gods to humanize nature.

But nothing is revealed! These pretend representations of Eden enrage me as much as the character in the Douglas film I linked.

There is no longer the knight casting off all remnants of humanity and being reborn. There is only the repub pretense of man subjegating his realm!

Instead there are these fake golf architects who attempt to pretend what a pond is, what a field of wild oats is, what nature is. It is enough to piss off El Papa.

God I hate golf courses.

Well that is enough of that!

A fellow by the name of Rory Mcilroy, who is 22 years of age with parents who did not care to spell correctly is beating the field at the U.S. Open today. I am watching the third round and it is spectacular.

Rains have enveloped the 18 hole course in Bethesda Maryland since the first day of the tournament two days ago. It is an amazing performance by this Northern Irish star with a baby face and freckles. Hahahaha

At 6:24 pm CDT this boy is leading the field by 8 strokes and is the first person in the history of the Open to reach 14 under par or 13 under par for that matter.

In April this kid was leading the field at Augusta by some four strokes in the Masters and blew it. I mean he blew it. With nine holes to go he began hitting into the pretend forest and into the pretend lakes and...

He ended up 15^th in that tournament.

But his performance the last three days has been ominous. It has been stupendous. And even as I watch history being made, I cannot wait until tomorrow.

You have to understand something here.

I hate professional golfers.

I despise professional golf.

It goes against everything I have ever believed.

But in 1996, there began a corporate controlled media blitz on the game of golf.

And it all had to do with a Black Asian golfer who wore this silly straw hat and silly shorts and was invited to Whites-only golf courses all across the nation.

I would watch three videos of Woods winning the U.S. Open (Amateur) on at least four different cable stations in amazement.

This kid could loft a golf ball like nothing I had ever seen. During one of his tournament wins as an amateur he was six or seven strokes behind on the last 18 holes of the 72 hole tournament.

It never phased him. You could just look at his face!

Tiger also won the collegiate title and only left college because he was accused of receiving gratuities by having lunch with Arnold Palmer and not paying for his share of the lunch; the rest was history. Tiger left college, went pro and won 4 tournaments from August of 1996 through December of 1996.

And then he hit the Masters. It was not his first Masters. Amateurs are invited every year and so this was actually his third appearance...only this time, even though he would have been invited as an amateur, he came in qualified as a pro. A pro with a twenty million dollar contract.

And Woods begins his 97 Masters with a 40 on the first nine, just like he did two previous times afore. So he reaches some epiphany. How? Who knows. But he finishes the back nine with a 30 and he is in contention. After that, it was all over!

Only eight months before Tiger Woods was born, the first Black man to ever play the Masters appeared upon that sacred ground and the only reason that Black man had reached that opportunity was because the racist prick Bobby Jones had died some five years before. Hahahahahahahaha

Hell a Black man had a hard time appearing on this course as a caddy before that let alone a player!

Tiger broke every record in the book in his first major as a pro. He won by ten strokes and went under par further than anyone before him.

When Tiger hosted the Masters tournament dinner, the kitchen help came out to applaud the champion. Never in the history of the Master Tournament had anything like this happened before. The applauders were almost all minorities; Blacks or Hispanics. It was amazing! I mean it was like Jackie Robinson stealing third base from Yogi Berra. Ha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XY-XshGhMU

You would see Blacks in the audience at golf tournaments for the very first time.

And when Tiger played in a tournament, the ratings would be increased two to three times. I mean if you think NASCAR is racist, take a look at golf sometime. VJ Singe is darker than Tiger but he is not African or African American. And I have seen no other Black in the field at golf tournaments since—even though Tiger is not sure if he is Black!

It was always amazing to watch him. They used to dedicate an hour or more to Tiger Woods' best shots or Tiger Woods' best tournament wins!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvScrEBZeF8

Tiger not only won the Tiger Grand Slam, catching all major tournaments within a twelve month period but he won the Career Grand Slam three times. That is, he has won each and every of the four Major Tournaments at least three times!

Anyway, this Mcilroy is something to watch.

You can see strokes only Woods could make.

I am cheering this Irishman with a baby face like nobody I have watched in golf since Tiger.

Now you have to understand; Tiger is going to be 36 in December. And I want this guy to win four more majors and twelve more tournaments before his career is over. And he has won nothing in the last three years. By the way Tiger was in the running for the Masters tournament this year and we shall see if he can appear in the British Open. His knees are shot once again and I have no idea how much Vicadin he needs to get through the day. Interestingly it was a South African who questioned whether or not it was some illegal used of Steroids that led him to all his championships. Gary Player who has five less Major Wins than Tiger questions his stats! Gary wishes to brand Tiger as golf's answer to Barry Bonds! http://acielaw.yardbarker.com/golf/articles/gary_player_speaks_out_on_steroid_use_in_golf/20225

I have emotional and intellectual issues here. I know that.

But Tiger just has to break all the records in golf including Jack's major wins and Snead's over all tournament wins. Woods only needs ten tournament wins to be the winningest play in history.  I shall be happy to rest in peace after that!

I dunno. Maybe I just wish to shit on Bobby Jones. Maybe I just wish to see the White Golf Association of old to be humiliated.

But today, today, I really hope this Northern Irish boy just beats the hell out of the field.
