Homer really has mastered the art of name dropping. I don't know why I ever put myself through a Homer article. Frankly I'm stunned that there wasn't a story about a round with Pony Mendenhall in there somewhere. I fully expect to see a complete piece on Homer's hole-in-one later this summer. I think Homer was probably with Austin Collie, because Homer must have been living right on and off the course to be so blessed.

And how would you write an article recounting some interesting and funny experiences while golfing without including names of those involved?

If you so obviously do not appreciate Harmon's writing, why do you read it?

After reading the column, three words: What The Fuzz!

I know a guy who aced the same hole two times in a row. He even made it into Golf Digest for that feat.

I am saying Dicky is name dropping because the stories are neither interesting nor funny, so the only reason he must have wrote the article was to give some dap to his chums. I guess it is one of those "you had to be there" situations. I love golf, but this is too much. I really do need to get a life because I actually came back to this article. In fact, I think everyone that reads Homer needs a life. I'm a masochist, what can I say? I think we should all follow the example of President Bush and give up golf to show solidarity with the troops. That reminds me, the other day I was out on the links with Mayor Coach McSpecial-Important and you would not believe the funniest things happened!

By the way, Homer's BYU articles are on about the same level of journalism as this little piece. Nothing but a few little anecdotes sprinkled with some haughtyness and Cougar beige and "darkest shade of royal" blue (That is what they changed their colors to, right?)

Makes me want to take up golf for the wacky memories...just kidding. If I can golf, I can fish instead.
