There was no competition for the greatest moment of the year.
“Wow this is something I’ve never seen.
Look at the amount of people.”
No words needed for that one.
And there were so many more Good, Bad & Unusual moments in 2018 that left us speechless.
But in some of the funniest ones, players were not at a loss for words.
“That’s so bad!”
“That’s so bad, it’s good.”
Speaking of so bad, it’s good.
I’m sure you can all guess that I’m talking about Phil Mickelson’s dance moves.
The high kick over Chris O’Donnell’s head, might have been the surprise of the year.
But the resurgence of the Phil/Tiger rivalry was certainly Good.
“I’ve been in Phil’s head for 21 years.”
“Gotta be better than Tiger’s.”
“Oh, it is.”
“Oh, that a boy Phil!”
This one was just plain bad.
Bubba Watson was his own worst enemy here.
Sometimes a bad shot just needs a little help.
Mark Leishman got a special fan assist at the Dell Technologies Championship.
“That was a huge break.”
But he made sure it was worth it.
After bouncing it off the fan’s ankle onto the green, the Aussie made the 57-footer!
If you thought that putt was long, how about Tiger’s 71-foot birdie that had us all feeling
nostalgic during his early-season comeback at Bay Hill?
This year, Tiger truly become a man of the fans.
Wait, that’s not Tiger!
If that’s Tiger Woods, then this is the Rock.
Just look at that security guard!
I think Koepka met his match.
But seriously, you guys were some of the best fans in all of sports this year.
And your skills on the course prove it.
You showed some stellar creativity from the cheering section.
Exhibit A: Lanto Griffin.
“One point Griffindor!”
And your emotion and reactions were impressive.
Our fan base comes in all shapes and sizes.
You never know who you are going to see walking in the gallery.
Just be careful not to get too close.
I don’t know what’s scarier, that gator or Bryson DeChambeau’s attempt to dress
up as Rickie for Halloween.
“Man, I wore orange just for you.
Can you sign my hat?”
“That’s the worst ‘stache I’ve ever seen.”
And this might be the weirdest team celebration we’ve ever seen.
”I figured this is a good opportunity to slap Bubba in the face.
I figured, everybody wants to do that.”
“At the end of the day I want a bruise, because that means we are doing really good.”
Good doesn’t even begin to describe this year.
From Tiger’s comeback and Koepka filling up his trophy case, to Justin Rose winning
it all and, oh yeah, a 59.
Brandt Snedeker wrote himself into the history books with a 59 at the Wyndham Championship,
and he didn’t even know how dialed in he was!
“Did he even know?
I mean, that’s not a reaction of a guy that just holed a shot.”
“Oh, it went in” But they don’t always go in.
Just ask Dustin Johnson.
“Come on DJ, you couldn’t put that one in for us?”
“I was trying.”
Some lip outs hurt worse than others.
This one was highway robbery for Tyrell Hatton at the Dell Technologies Championship.
Just look at that spin!
Unreal!
We all know, all too well, how sometimes it’s just not your day.
And player 2 is always better.
Haha, I don’t know why, but that one gets me every time.
Sorry, Wesley.
But no apologies needed for a year well done.
Here’s to the year that was, and to a stellar 2019.
May the golf be just as Good, Bad & Unusual.
Thanks for tuning in to the show each Monday.
I’ll see you in January.
