"Yield To Brilliance"

By Steve Czaban on June 20, 2005 10:34 AM |

The great Peter Kessler of Golf Magazine (and of course, the Perfect Club) was my guest on Monday’s Fox Sports Radio show, and had the following phrase to describe why he, like I, does not enjoy the overly penal course set-up by the USGA at the Open. Said Kessler, even a Championship caliber course properly set-up, should “yield to brilliance.”

“Yield to brilliance.” That’s a great phrase. And when only 4 rounds were under par, and those all just one-under 69’s, he’s right. The course was impervious to brilliance. The course was incapable of displaying golfing brilliance. The course was a tricked up clowns-nose putt-putt circus from hell.

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve: When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules". I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down. See ya, donkey, Terry Rindt Read more ...
