Lazy Ramblings - With more info and sites and tweets and broadcasts out there than ever before for cultivating ANGLES and INFORMATION, ive been stupiderest and lazierest than ever before, about researching and posting, through the West Coast swing and pre-Masters stretch that for about 6 seasons out of 8 has been the best part of my season . . . I luv detecting themes to a season, and with a Tiger on the mend, this season came right out of the box with guys flexing their muscles in predictable spots, from Ogilvy to Kaymer to Schwartzel to Couples to Poulter to I'm to lazy to remember the other numerous examples, with me too lazy and stupid to seriously sort much of it out on a weekly or daily basis . . . So off to Florida we went, and my only lazy thought was expect more familiar flexing of muscles in familiar spots by familiar Florida faces, and with a commitment on my part to lazily back Rose and Baird and Singh etc regardless of what they might do in the first week there, the biggest check mark (other than the definite circles) marked up on my odds sheet last week was by the name of Villegas at 33/1, but my lazy mind lacked the rudimentary recollection of the Colombian's huge Florida credentials vis-a-vis the other picks, and I lazily never got back to his name or it would have taken next to nothing to jog my mind and send his name zooming up as one of my top plays ("What a stupid I am." ~ Roberto, "and lazy, too", was my personal mantra all week after the opening 62 in Palm Beach, too lazy further to take the -125 matchup vs. playing partner Kim on Saturday, cue my mantra . . .) . . . Ramble on to this week . . . Simply put, if I had to pick one course that puts an image in my mind of the new club grooves reintroducing the best players to some difficult spots to stop the ball the way they've been accustomed to doing it, and the consequences between being in the right spot vs. not the right spot, it would be the combination of windswept and hard bermuda greens and forced carries and light rough of Doral. Hence my instant play on Zach Johnson as my child of destiny for this week for some time, for what he brings in that breakdown on Dick Wilson's bunker strewn Florida icon, beyond any not unfavorable analysis and expectations I have on the direction of Zach's season to date and going forward and rambling on . . . Anything after Zach beyond familiar Florida faces is just as lazy as anything else YTD, or is from riding my club grooves opinion . . . I was just heading off to take my first look at the odds in Puerto Rico, but I see Skip Kendall is already -2, so my lazy ass was too late for that . . . And iv'e been too lazy to give my 2 cents on Eldrick Tiger Woods, although I've got a bank vault full of observations I could unload . . . I've been meaning to post some of these and other lazy ramblings for some time, but i've been just too damn lazy . . . I'll take a few minutes eventually to toss out a couple more lazy picks on the WGC event.
