50 Years of Life, a Retrospective: Part II B.1

Oops…it dawned on me that there was one other sports moment that had to make the list: Phil Mickelson winning the 2004 Masters.  If you could watch that event unfold and say that golf on TV is always boring, well, I got nothing for ya.

    Can’t wait for the biopic of this blog series and the coffee table book.

    “50 Years of Byron Harvey”

    Wow. Just think…

    Golf on TV isn’t always boring, although it can be livened up if they were to have a bit where the presenters go “And we take a break from the golf now, and can show you exclusive pictures of paint drying.”
