99 REASONS TO BE THANKFUL

Tiger-Phil just part of 99 reasons to be thankful

 

From Jason Sobel’s Blog on espn.com – Wednesday, November 25, 2009 

It’s that time of year again, golf fans. Time to gather ’round the 19th hole and discuss what we’re most thankful for during this, uh, Thanksgolfing holiday. Hint: It’s certainly not puns like that one. 

With the way Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods finished the 2009 season, golf fans can only hope that rivalry continues for the 2010 campaign. Truth is, I’m still thankful for many of the things on last year’s list of 99, but let’s revisit the idea with a new version of this notion for 2009.

 1. The impending 2010 golf season. When Whistling Straits is considered the least exciting of the four major championship venues, you know it’s going to be a special year.

2. Tom Watson. Let’s recap: He almost won the Open Championship … at Turnberry … 32 years after the Duel in the Sun … at age 59. Yep, that’s worth a “thanks.”

3. Seve Ballesteros’ influence. Nearly every European player coming through the ranks in the past three decades lists Seve as one of his favorites.

4. “Caddyshack.” Almost 30 years later, the flick still hasn’t lost its fastball.

5. “Caddyshack II.” More than 20 years later, it still goes down swinging.

And just for fun…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM ATLANTIC GOLF!
