A few thoughts and observations while in the midst of the unofficial weekend of summer:

A golf video that never gets old. What amazes me is that Nicklaus didn’t even take time to line up the shot, he just made it. Very cool.

If you needed any further evidence that this year is passing rather quickly, here it is. I gotta start thinking about what I’ll be getting the twins for Christmas!

The Great White Shank axiom #17: nothing good ever happens at a strip club after midnight:

Broncos safety T.J. Ward has been charged with misdemeanor assault and disturbing the peace for allegedly throwing a glass mug at a female bartender at a Denver strip club earlier this month.

Ward, 27, appeared in court Friday to face the charges stemming from the incident at 2:40 a.m. on May 10 at PT’s All Nude club.

According to court documents, Ward was seen on video surveillance picking up the mug from the bar and throwing it at the bartender after being told he couldn’t bring a drink into the club.

A court date was set for June 23.

Not sure what else to say about a story like this, except that, like the first commenter writes, “Guns don’t kill people. Self absorbed, entitled Hollywood leftist elites do.” I mean, if every guy who felt shunned by chicks while growing up decided to take his frustrations out by killing people there’d be no people left on the planet.

If Rory McIlroy really thinks dumping fiancée Caroline Wozniacki is the best thing for his golf game, I’m all for it. But seriously, he’s too young to get married, and better to call things off even if it means doing so after the invites have been sent out. Marriage is a tough enough gig without having to do it under the kind of microscope he and Wozniacki would undoubtedly have been under given their status in their respective sports.

Since no one else out there has the guts to say it, I will. The only thing protecting a gross incompetent like President Obama is the color of his skin. If any other president had presided over such a lawless and reckless presidency, be they Democrat or Republican, they would have been impeached months ago. And the same holds true for his punk Attorney General Eric Holder. I don’t know how else to put it.

If you love hearing stories about crazy golf bets, this will make your day.
