I witnessed this tragedy during a recent round and just had to snap some photos.
The man decided to take off his shoes and socks to stand in the water and play his ball from the edge of the hazard. His shot was actually decent and it I’m sure it saved him at least a stroke in the tournament.
But the real tragedy isn’t the situation in which he found himself, it was that all the onlookers were “treated” to what is obviously a rare display of his permasocks. Here’s a guy that needs to do some chipping and putting practice in flip-flops! And I thought I had a tan line problem!

Tiger Woods Can’t Lose
I think it’s clear that Tiger Woods is unstoppable, at least for the foreseeable future.
His remarkable combination of talent, drive and passion surpasses that of any other golfer in the world. As if that weren’t enough, it seems he has something else going for him as well. This month and this year, especially. According to one interpretation, anyway.
Starting today, Tiger has a powerful force in his corner. Just what the rest of the field needs, right? Here are some excerpts:
Did you notice the part about Pluto – I thought Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore – entering Capricorn today? Tiger shot a -7 (65) today at the Buick Invitational to take a 4 shot lead into the weekend at Torrey Pines.
Regardless of your opinion on horoscopes, there is no debating Tiger’s dominance in golf. Personally, I enjoy believing (the positive parts of) my horoscope. I find it fun. And as a Capricorn myself (January 4), I share Tiger’s stellar forecast and can tell you that my year is getting off to a fantastic and fortunate start! Now if only my golf game would show it.
Next post.
