Back From The Beach

I have had a very pleasant three and a half days at Ocean Isle. Now am ready for a football run to carry me to December. Made my last trip across the old one lane bridge at Sunset Beach for old time sake. By the time I get back there the new high rise two lane bridge will be open next spring.

I hope you had a chance to check out the "Stretchlon Sports Show Tonight". Brought in all four high school football coaches and gave them twenty minutes to talk about their team. I hope you that watched it, enjoyed it. We may do that again at basketball time if you let us know how it was.

Contact me or Richard Sarmeiento or WHIG-TV with your comments.

Rocky Mount according to Coach Dickie Schock improved a lot in Saturday night's scrimmage over Wednesday's at Tarboro.

Louisburg will be at Rocky Mount Thursday night for the last scrimmage of the preseason.

I know a lot of you are in shock that Tiger Woods blew the PGA Championship. I could see this coming in fact I don't know if Tiger will break Jack Nicklaus record of 18 major championships.

Due to his knee injury Tiger has not won a major in fourteen months. The big difference in majors and the average tournament is the rough. Tiger has never been a straight driver. When he hits the spells when he is making every putt he is unbeatable, But he has hit that age where in the majors you don't get many recovery shots that are five feet from the hole. He is no longer money in the bank on putts from twelve feet.

I am not saying that Tiger has not been the greatest player the last ten years because he has. He is no longer winning tournaments by ten shots like he use too. Some of that is the other players are gaining plus Tiger has come down a notch too.

Who's to say that Tiger won't do just like Johnny Miller. Miller was well on his way to replacing Jack until he got up one day and could not putt any more.
