That’s Wet! a Golf blog in West Palm Beach Florida

Here’s what I don’t want to see tomorrow during the opening day of the 88th PGA Championship at Medinah in my fair city of Chicago.
Click, snap, snap, click ARGH#@$*!!!
I was amazed by the lack of etiquette of fans taking pictures during The Open Championship at Hoylake this year. Hole after hole, Tiger and other […]

Watching the final day of this year’s British Open it isn’t hard to imagine the joy that Earl Woods or Norma DiMarco felt watching their sons grow up into the great sportsmen and people that they are.
It isn’t hard to see why […]

What’s your prediction for day 3?
After day two at The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool’s Hoylake Tiger was in the lead without a lot of close followers. I’m watching The Open right now (albeit on a Tivo delay) with Shannon and I certainly didn’t expect to see so many people crowding the lead. […]

Is a World Tour for Golf far away?
Thursday night - Day One of the Open
As I consumed hours of T.V. and online golfing content I watched a Golf Channel piece where Rich Lerner holds a round table discussion with golfing pros from Nike that include Stephen Ames, David Duval, Paul Casey and Stewart Cink. Other […]

Best Commentator: Aussie (that’s pronounced ‘Ozzie’ NOT ‘Ossie’ Geoff Ogilvy

Another Twinkie Phil?
Phil Mickelson pulled out of Rick Smith’s Treetops Par-3 Tournament this weekend after a few nights too many this week curled up in front of his 80 foot plasma screen watching X-Files re-runs and eating Twinkies. Can you blame him? I certainly wouldn’t! I haven’t been able to write about Golf since […]

A tough pill to swallow
Father’s Day
This is not how it’s supposed to work on Father’s day.  I’m sure that’s what Phil was thinking.  Like Phil  I am also a Dad, a father of four to be exact. I’ve even earned some stripes by breaking out of the ‘normal’ daddy role of sole provider that I […]

Tiger Woods missed the cut at The 106th U.S. Open at Winged Foot. Here at That’s Wet we are all in a state of unmitigated shock.
Post round interview on ESPN:

Tiger Pissed
Reporter: “Can you tell us what your emotional state is right now, frustration?”
Tiger: “Pissed.”
Back to back 76’s put Tiger 12 over par after two […]
