The Good, Bad and Ugly of a Sports Friday
Hello. Well, it's a great soprts Friday if you're a golfer and/or curler. The Scott Tournament of Hearts has a tiebreaker and first 2 Page playoff games, and the Ford Championships at Doral is the PGA Tour stop, with an excellent field.
The tiebreaker game between Quebec and Newfoundland was a clinic by Quebec, 8-2 in 8 ends. I can count on one hand how many total shots Quebec missed. They would've beaten anyone this morning. Team Canada is going to have to be ready for action tonight, or else this game with be their last. It seems Quebec is handling the first-time Scott pressure very well. One reason may be their experience in the Canadian Mixed Championships. Here's a partial list of the people who are former Mixed participants:
Mark Nichols (Olympic gold medalist)
Shelley Nichols (Newfoundland 3rd)
Shannon Kleibrink (Olympic bronze medalist)
Eve Belisle (Quebec champion)
Mark Dacey (Canadian champion)
Colleen Jones (world champion)
BC and Nova Scotia played a great game. BC cleared a hurdle, winning the trip to Sunday's final. Kelly Scott is looking very steady. Whoever she plays will be in for a tough one.
Doral is such a nice course to play at. I was there 21 years ago. It looks even nicer now. These guys do not make it look like "The Blue Monster" anymore. The 18th hole used to be one of the toughest. Now they're lighting it up. Amazing. And Tiger and Phil leading at -13. That should be a 72-hole total. How would you like to be -6 both days and not in 1st?
The Good
1. BC
2. Nova Scotia, good in defeat
3. Quebec
4. Newfoundland. Considering they were 1-10 in last year's Scott at St. John's, their home province, an amazing improvement
5. Tiger Woods. Has anyone since Edwin Moses ever met unbelievable expectations better?
6. Phil Mickelson
The Bad
- nothing comes to mind
Yet to Come
1. Team Canada. Jennifer Jones will have to play her best
The Ugly
1. Why was the Scott tiebreaker game starting at 8:30am? I would've started it later, at least 9am. It didn't give Quebec, Newfoundland or the fans a lot of recovery time
2. Tiger and Phil are both done for the day. Why are they both playing at the same time? I would always split them up, have one in the morning, and one in the afternoon, so someone taking the afternoon off would be able to see one of them.
Regards,
Steve
