His assertion that his good friend, George H. W. Bush “thinks he used to be president†is still funny however many years later.

 

Rest easy Mr. Jenkins. My “ownself†is gonna miss your wit and charm.

 

I think I’ll watch “Dead Solid Perfect†tonight.

 

Lucky you.

 

Piss on luck. :)

 

Well done Ashley, well done!

Shank, I'm in your same boat re: VHS. Mine wouldn't work even if I had a VCR. I think I got it when I was 13, and the ice machine scene was viewed one too many times.

 

FYI, not long ago, I was able to kind of piece it together using various YouTube vids others had uploaded.

 

I remeber my first copy was taped off a free HBO weekend, so it had advertising scrolling across the bottom quite often. I bought a copy on eBay several years ago (maybe more than several). I think that is the one I found. We had VHS tapes in about three different buildings and now I don’t remeber where I ended up putting it.

Jenkins was a great writer. He got a little cranky in his later years....but who doesn’t?

 

Still, having a job that paid you to go to golf tournaments for 60 years; Not a bad gig.

 

Dead Solid Perfect (the movie) needs another run on HBO.

I've been writing posts all day for you people, I'm gonna write this one for myself:

 

 

 

Do you think I should switch to a heel-shafted putter? I read somewhere that no great putter ever used a center shaft.

 

I’m so ashamed of myself, I can’t remember. Something to the effect of, “yeah that Hogan guy wasn’t too bad”?

The full SI Vault of his stories.

 

Lots of golf articles from the 1970s and 1980s from the majors to a World Match Play in London to the Skins Game.

After looking at some of these past articles ... this guy must had known the right people because those are not very good and poorly written. He certainly was no Jim Murray or Rick Reilly.

Yep.

Then, "Hogan was a better player than he was a putter." Then, Smitheren scolding Grover for playing slowly. Man, I miss that movie. Grover trying to pick up girls in the bar talking about the move from hickory to steel shafts!

I will not speak ill of the dead.

 

I never read more than a few sentences of his articles.

 

I just know he disliked Tiger for some reason.

 

That is all I know.

Jenkins made up his hate for Big Cat with his unbridled love for Hogan ... he loved him a lot of Hogan

 

He once took $6 off of Hogan in a $2 Nassau.

In his later years I always tried to see if I could find anything golf, anything at all, where he didn’t mention Hogan. I think one time, out of a lot of stuff.

Everyone has a God-given right to like or dislike Dan Jenkins.

Somehow, Dan Jenkins is not afforded this right to like or dislike TW.

Spieth 2015 in the top ten? Really?

 

2nd youngest winner, wire to wire and tied the scoring record at -18. You don't think thats any good?

 

Of course it was good, it was outstanding.

Top 10 Masters? No way.

 

Which one belongs in the 10 slot? How many were better than JS in 2015? What are they?

 

Better than Spieth’s ‘15 finish? Schwartzel is the first that comes to mind.
