Young Guns getting it done......

For several weeks all the talk has been about the 20 something, even teen, golfers getting it done on the PGA TOUR. Yes they are really playing well but the 35+ golfers should be ticked off. These older golfers have played these courses several times and should be performing at a higher level than a young 20 something golfer but they have not been. What's the reason these young 20 somethings get it done? I can think of few.
1) TW factor. Prepare to be the best at all cost. No Vijay thoughts (FYI VJ thoughts are - lets just make the top ten and earn some solid money)
2) No FEAR!!! - TW is not playing so I am the best player out here. These old dudes can't beat me.
3) Peer Pressure - I know you all remember peer pressure but in this case it is a good thing. They see other 20 somethings ballin and they say I have to step it up as well.
4) Improved junior golf programs and competition - The best athletes in middle and high school play golf as well as their team sport. Lets call this the Tony Romo/Michael Jordan factor.

Keep your eye on the 20 somethings and their SWAG.

FRAUD OF THE WEEK - LOL Happens to be a guy who was battling a 20 something. He was in prime position and blew it because he did not have #2 on the list. He showed FEAR or should I say FRAUD tendencies. 1 shot back on the 18th hole of the final round. He blocks it right into the trees, disaster but okay the leader lays up of the tee with an iron. The leader then hits his approach in the water. Okay prime opportunity to get the "W" or at least make it a playoff. Just need to punch it out of the trees and then knock it close for par. Then all of sudden FRAUD tendencies take over his body and he hits it threw the fairway and into the water also...Major disaster.... FRAUD deluxe Blake Adams

The Players Championship....your hurt...whatever

I usually reserve my FRAUD of the week until the golf week is over but today is a different day. A different set of circumstances when I receive a text message from ESPN giving me news, that I thought I would never read. TW withdrawals from event due to injury. A few thoughts go through my mind immediately.
1.What am I going to watch this afternoon?
2.This guy is pulling out of the "PLAYERS Championship"!!! The championship the PLAYERS call their own!!!
3.He is pulling out of a tournament on Mothers Day!!! This is the one thought I find most interesting because the last thing he needs is speculation about really being injured but now my thought is why Mothers Day??? Does he have other mothers out there on his mind.....
Either way TW has certainly hit the FRAUD radar with his actions of today because this is certainly considered a FRAUDULENT action.
