Tiger Woods up against Jew at Wyndham

We're big Jason Gore fans in this house. That's because Jason's grandparents came out of the same shithole shtettl in Poland that the Farm Manager's grandparents came from. Not only that, but those grandparents were siblings!


Yup, the Farm Manager is second cousins with PGA regular Jason Gore.


Mind you, Jason has kinda kept his distance since he hit the bigs. Used to visit Uncle Henry in Toronto from time to time, but since Uncle Henry passed, that's over.


And just the other day we found out that Jason has embraced the cult of Jesus...


That might explain some things too.


But nevermind. We're 100% behind you, Jason! Don't let Woods make his comeback at your expense!


And by the way, we've got Uncle Henry's hall carpet runner in our upstairs hall right now... Uncle Henry's spirit lives on at Falling Downs.


Drop by any time. And by the way, Cobble Beach is a mere five minutes away.

Mike Weir shows he's not over yet

Ya, I know it doesn't help our hillbilly cred, but we tend to look in on a bit of PGA action from time to time.

So it was quite a thrill to see Mike Weir on the leaderboard for the first time in forever. Almost made a day of it at the Byron Nelson!

Attaboy Mike! Canada applauds!

Mike trousered three-quarters of a million for losing.

The Farm Manager's cousin Jason Gore is semi-retired now, but when I run out of retirement savings we're heading to California where Jason promised me a job polishing his clubs and waxing his Mercedes.

If I'm lucky I'll maybe worm my way into carrying the bag for him when he hits the seniors tour.

I coulda been a factor on the tour myself if I'd stuck with it. I remember beating Bryan DeCorsa in a round on Victoria Road many years ago.

Unfortunately, he was just a seven year old kid hanging around his dad's golf course at the time, so I'm not sure that counts for anything...
