Talby and the Green Jacket
I write this post with a tone of celebration because the man-cave has just gone over 1000 views! Thanks to all of my followers around the world (Yes I have viewers from Alaska, France, Germany, and Japan, who are these people?) who made this accomplishment possible. I didn't really know what to write about this week, but I do know that Talby is going to the Masters this week. Golf is a really fun sport if you are playing with your friends. There is a lot of time to talk, relax, and enjoy the scenery. It really is a great way to spend a day, especially when you are with Talby. However, Talby does have an uncanny ability to make you feel inferior when you are playing golf with him. That's partially because he is surprisingly good at golf. I am a much better athlete than Talby. All you have to do is watch Talby shoot a basketball or run a football rout and you will know that God did not create Talby with a normal amount of coordination. But somehow that all changes when you get on the golf course with Talby.
It is rather frustrating to be honest with you. I experienced this when I went golfing with Talby one misty morning at Grove City. Now I had heard that Talby was a pretty good golfer from Andrew but, to be honest, I really did not believe it. Andrew is awful at Golf and so I thought, "It's all relative." But as we got to the course, Talby stepped up to the tee box and ripped a drive like 300 yards right down the middle. "Hmmm... lucky shot", I thought. After hitting my second shot into the sand trap, Talby dropped a 9 iron about 10 feet from the hole. I was impressed. After chipping on and two putting I took a 6 on the hole. Talby walked up to his put and nonchalantly sank it. While picking up his ball, Talby uttered, "Birdie" as if it was no big deal. He was not surprised at all and I was crushed. The rest of the day pretty much went that same way. Talby won decisively.
In addition to this Talby loves to ask you what club you are hitting. For example, if you are say 220 yards from the hole, Talby will ask you, "What are you hitting?" I will respond by saying, "3 iron." Talby will say something like, "Bro, Are you serious?" Confused I will ask, "Ya, what are you going to hit?" And Talby will say, "Im hitting like a 7 iron here." Talby gorilla-like strength will humiliate you on the golf-course. But that's ok. Golf is the one sport where Talby can not only compete with his friends, but actually dominate. When it comes to golf and our group of friends, Talby owns the green jacket and he will not be passing it down anytime soon. Congrats Talby and Congrats Man-cave nation on 1,000 views. May the next 1,000 be just as sweet!
