Golf

Ok...I consider myself pretty sports-literate. I mean I watch ESPN, a lot (probably too much). I pretty much watch all sports on TV. Including, baseball, soccer, golf, hockey, basketball, and FOOTBALL!!! So it is very rare when something makes me set aside my knitting and go..."What the fuck?"

I'm watching the PGA championship on CBS and trying to finish my Dad's hat. Tiger Woods is putting a doozy for a birdie. I was not paying 100% attention, due to my need to find a way to buy 12 balls of Noro Silk Garden, without paying $100. But the commentator made me almost do a spit take with nothing in my mouth...

Tiger lines up the shot.
The crowd is quiet.
He putts.
Rolling...
SINKS!!!

And the commentator says "Man, that guy sure knows how to roll a potato"...
What?
Wait...what?
Call my Dad...

"Did he just say roll a potato?"
"Yes, he did"

What?

Golf commentators need to lay off the crack. Because in that one moment they managed to confuse all of the golf watching Americans. Ever. Shit, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer just scratched their heads and did a shrug.

Seriously.
Weird.
