Watson, Norman, Mediate...




These are fantastic golfers, like old wines, they get better!!
Defying father time, the tough courses and the inclement weathers, they showed the young kids a thing or two about playing golf.

Tom Watson is doing what Greg Norman did last year, carry the lead going into Day 4. Though Norman eventually lost to Padraig Harrington, he did himself proud. And who can forget the titanic battle that the then 46-year old Rocco Mediate fought against the injured Tiger in the 2008 US Open??

These guys should be our role models. Although we Goofies are all on the wrong side of 30s, 40s and 50s, but there are a lot more golfs to be played. We are only catching up with lost time. Enjoying the game, the fun and the camaraderies.

I am rooting Watson to make history!! To be the oldest ever to win a Major and compete another 10 more years on The Open.

As the tagline of the PGA Tour goes.....These Guys are Good!!

Yep these guys are really good! I am also rooting for the old guy to win! He really knows how to play this course. Look at the way he putts and how he uses his driver and irons. We can learn from him.
