Breaking news! Cell phones off please and listen very carefully...
According to commentator Frank Deford of NPR.org, 3 of the PGA's 2008 major tournaments (Masters, the US Open and the PGA) have all been cancelled. Yikes! I shared this horror story with one man at work and look what happened ->
Yes, it's enough to make a grown man cry. The whole office is in an uproar now...people can't work...they've all headed out to drown their sorrows on our water-infused links courses.
Billy Payne, chairman of Augusta National, spoke on behalf of the group representing the 3 events, saying it seemed pointless to play the tournaments because it was a foregone conclusion that Tiger Woods would win them all and continue to win them for “as far as the eye can see."

Well well..isn't that just amazing. That one man could have such an affect on a sport. They cancel tournaments because he's NOT in them and now they cancel tournaments because he IS in them.
Ha ha...I had to share this spoof of a story with you because it was so entertaining. Reading it isn't nearly has much fun as listening to it, so please take a minute and give your full attention to Mr. Deford and remember to turn your cell phones off :)
