Golf! It sounds like you have something caught in your throat. . Sure I have played a few holes, not always sober. Do you know a better way???!!!. I even played on my High school team. I hold the esteemed reputation of being one of three golfers kicked off for smoking my sophomore year. Yep, golf, what a game. What a gaammmeeeeaee............................

Sorry, this is a couple hours later. I must have fallen asleep at the computer. That’s usually what happens to me when I am watching or actually doing anything that involves the sport of golf. It is boring!!!

Golfers are like Santa's reindeer. Tiger is Rudolph, the most famous reindeer of all. Phil and Singh are Donner and Blitzen. The rest of the golfers are the reindeer in the middle of the song that most of America can't remember to save their lives. They will say anything. Sneezy, Snoopy, Cupid ( That is really one of them), Charles, Viggo Mortenson, you get the point. If it isn't one of the first three, forget it.

However, I have to give props to one golfer for his recent accomplishments. And, like always here at the Dirt, it is for the inside dish, not fat expert opinion (Geeks).

Dan Chopra is on top of the world, or at least, his own world. It took four extra holes to do it, but Danny won some Hawaii green. 1.1 million to be exact. He probably still has the over-sized check in the trunk of his car to prove it. Along with that, a prize greater than cash, a trip to The Masters. I can already hear that sappy piano music NBC plays in the background like it is a damn four day funeral. Regardless, Dan Chopra is in!!! Congratulations brother, you deserve it. I hope the next Green blazer goes over your shoulders dude.

I give this praise because Dan Chopra could possibly be the coolest golfer, EVER!!

It was three years ago at the FBR in Scottsdale, Az. The driving range was the place to be. Fan's of the game stood by and watched grown men hit balls with each other, and then explain why one man hits it better than the next. My friends and I could care less. We were wasted bro!!!!! Unlike the walking dead, that are golf fans, we just wanted to heckle. For that, we needed a good target. It was not easy; Vijay was standing way too far away for any of our verbal splashing to take effect. Enter Dan Chopra.

No one knew who this guy was. He stood in the far left corner of the d- range and went about his business. Until we showed up.  

Thank the golf gods for those little signs next to the guy explaining who in the hell they are, or the coolest golf experience would have not existed this day.

Once learning Dan's name was Dan, we decided to cheer for his d- range practice. In fact, we decided to cheer his every swing, practice or not. It was the loudest any driving range has probably ever gotten at a professional golfing event, I guarantee it!!!

You think that the constant noise would frazzle an unknown golfer like Dan Chopra, but it did nothing of the sort.  He was great!! He played along with our group like he was one of us. He pulled off a few trick shots, and if I can remember correctly, he even took a swing and missed one time. Dan was the coolest.

After the fun, he came over and gave us the love for being with him through every swing during his practice. He even signed my plastic beer cup. What a guy!!!

So I say to you Dan Chopra! Stand up and take notice. You may not be Rudolph, but you are definitely the coolest golfer EVER!!!!! I still have that plastic cup buddy!!

And that is The Inside Dirt
