Inspector Gadget..errr....Phil Mickelson's 2010 U.S. Open Press Conference


Like nearly all pre-tournament press conferences, a whole lot of nothing was said. The course looks great, he's swinging good, and worried that the course might dry out by the weekend...U.S. Open cliche after U.S. Open cliche.

Ernie Els Continues Awkward Mustache Trend

Michael Jordan set the bar impossibly high with his homage to Hitler in his most recent Hanes commercial...



...And Ernie Els seems to be picking up where he left off. Seen here today at his press conference rocking what appears to be an awkwardly thin Adam Morrison style trash-stash.

2010 U.S. Open



The hype for the 2010 US Open is building...I thought I would kick it off with a highlight clip of the most dominant performance in golf history. Tiger Woods' performance in the 100th US Open embarrassed 154 professional golfers and killed the wound golf ball. It should be noted that this was the first tournament Tiger pegged a solid core golf ball in the ground. (R.I.P Tour Balata). A fifteen stroke ass-whipping will leave the other guys scratching their heads...ushering in the emergence of the Pro V1 and numerous competitors. Who knew one week in mid June would change the course of golf history?

Knocking The Rust Off

It's been quite a hectic six month hiatus from blogging. Senior level engineering classes and pesky semester projects have kept me pretty busy. This past semester my class mates and I worked on quality control projects and supply chain management projects with the Coca Cola Bottling Company here in Baton Rouge. That was eye-opening experience! The numbers and sheer volume of daily production is astonishing. If you are interested in checking out the results of these reports, shoot me an e-mail. I'd be more than happy to share a semester's worth of hard work with curious minds.

In between projects and cramming for tests, I have made time to think about the future. At some point this summer I'll take the GMAT in anticipation of attending Business School upon graduation. At this point in my life, I can honestly say that "I'm not so sure what I want to be when I grow up!" However, I believe that coupling an engineering undergrad, with an MBA will open many doors and present me with an array of options. I Enjoy the problem solving components of engineering and I also enjoy the way the business world operates and am amazed by the emergence of a global economy. I'll post any updates as they develop!

Most Importantly, The U.S. Open is this week. This kicks off the summer major season. It's my favorite major of the year. I enjoy watching the pro's look like mortals for one week a year. My only complaint is the Chris Berman commentary. If he sends it down to Roger "Chocolate" Maltbie one more time....
I plan on updating the blog frequently with mostly U.S. Open oriented posts this week.
