| - When I moved here 2 yrs ago, everyone spoke about the legendary 16th hole at the Phoenix Open. I watched from one of the corporate skyboxes and I have to admit, it was pretty entertaining. However, after 4 days of it, I was over it. It reminds me of my college party days.....drinking, shouting, and a bunch of nonsense. Somewhere during the day, there's some golf played I guess.

The betting on the the Caddie Races is hysterical. I love how the poor PGA guys try to keep it quiet for the golfers hitting the ball....yeah right, no chance. Imagine trying to hit a golf ball at a frat party with 5,000 drunk guys screaming at you....it's got to be tough for the golfers. Some take it in stride, others seem annoyed at the spectacle of things.

I try to explain it to friends, but there's nothing like experiencing it for yourself. This year is my 2nd year, same ol' nonsense.....you just have to be there.
Watching Mickelson dominate this year on this hole was pretty cool. That and all of the ASU chants were cracking me up.
