The Game

I watched the game yesterday. What? No, not football, golf. The Phoenix Open. It's the golf tournament which, after the Masters, I most look forward to.

It's famous for its stadium hole. The organizers surround the sixteenth hole with a triple deck grandstand that seats 20,000. It has private suites too.

The tournament simply feels electric, even over television. There's less raw energy at the Masters. Of course, I think the Masters folks prefer that, being genteel and all.

Yes, I fully realize there was another game yesterday. But I didn't watch it. I believe that anticipating new commercials against a background of manufactured violence is little more than a neurosis.
