Vijay is at it again
Leading the Mercedes Championships in Hawaii after the 1st round.

Hope y'all don't mind some golf talk in this forum...I think the lounge was tiring of my golf posts...

3. Kleeb, my golf clubs are older than you are
Seriously, I've had been playing the same irons for 17 years, the original Ping-Eye 2's.

Thanks for blowing me some shit, pard!

2. Always welcome
and love to hear that Vijay is kicking tail again. A man who truly deserves, professionally and personally, to be at the top of his sport.

4. Personally, really? Do you know him? Everyone >
I know who's had any interaction with him considers him a total dick with oak leaves.

Ask yourself why he hasn't any endorsements.

5. He's the hardest worker on the PGA Tour
He's allowed to be a dick. He's earned it. Doesn't care about endorsements, just being the best golfer in the world.

If you read about his background and how he's been treated by the media, you might understand why he's not a media/fan favorite. His fellow players admire, respect and like him.

7. My brother hangs with Ernie Els, so I'll ask about VJ.
My brother is John Ashworth -- Ashworth shirts... altho now he has a line with Quiksilver: Fidra by John Ashworth. Ernie wears his clothes and they hang out a lot.

So... I'll see what I can dig up on VJ.

9. And Vijay blew it
On a tough day (and of course, how many tough days do you have playing golf in Hawaii and the worst you can do is win something like $50k) - Vijay blew it.

Stuart Appleby defended his title - besting most of the world's best for the second straight year.
