Occassionally, when I've got lots of work to do, I visit Phil's website to see if he has any updates. Today, I was happy to learn that he posted his pre-season update a few days ago . I can't wait for the Buik Invitational at Torrey Pines. At the end of the article I noticed a promotional gimmick by Crowne Plaza Hotels. It's a chance to win a spot in a commercial with Phil Mickelson.
As a marketer I love it. As a fan of Phil I love it even more. How can you not root for the guy who goes for it when everyone else lays up?

So I don't know much about golf. Wait, I take that back. I know enough to watch it on tv, but not enough to play it.
But I do know that Phil is the most entertaining and fantastic player these days. I love him because he's gutsy, normal and doesn't care that he has man boobs. (and he REALLY does)
Please enter the contest. That would rock if you and Phil became friends.
Tyler- You must love golf as much as your Dad! You can link to my Blog 5keelers.blogspot.com and get to David's and Kim's. Kim also has one for her paintings too. She is VERY talented! Good luck with your game and maybe now you should start looking for clubs for Charlie.(Tiger started young)
Oh, we've already got Charlie his own driver and putter. He's well on his way.
Did you know that no human being can jump and remain in the air for more than one second (assuming the jump begins and ends on the same flat piece of ground and involves only his own strength). Maybe if Phil keeps practicing his jumps, he can defy physics.
distance = initial velocity*(time)-1/2*(gravity)*time^2
Good point. They would have to jump up fast enough to achieve 16 feet per second or 11 miles per hour. Doesn't sound that fast does it? The fastest person in the world can run at just over 30 feet per second or 21 miles per hour. Unfortunately we're a lot faster at running than jumping. So you're right, Phil isn't going to achieve a hang time of 1 second unless Tiger Woods throws him off the roof.
Laura had a good point about his man boobs. I wonder what kind of support he uses when he jumps like that. Yowza.
