My piece about Phil’s charge yesterday along the cliffs of doom is up at Cybergolf. It’s here, so enjoy it!
From the article:
“Still, the day and the stage belonged to Mickelson. Many of you never got to see Arnold Palmer, but Mickelson makes a great comparison: a swashbuckling mercurial golfer who made you both live and die on championship Sundays. When you live vicariously through Mickelson, there’s never a dull moment. In the flotsam and jetsam of Woods’s Roland Emmerich distaster film of a life, Phil is the new face of golf, and one of the indisputable icons of this generation
He’s also like Palmer in another way: he wears his wealth and success well. Kurt Vonnegut once wrote about the difference between doing things in style . . . and doing things with style. People who do things in style make themselves look good. People who do things with style, make everyone around them look good. Unlike many wealthy, falsely-entitled pro athletes of the day, Phil not only understands the difference but he puts it in practice for all to see. ”
Tomorrow: Another Moveable Feast!
