Let’s consider the amazing story of Phil Mickelson for a moment.
At the start of last week’s PGA Championship, he was +130 to make the cut.
That’s right – he was an underdog to get to the weekend.
I had a poker buddy who put down $35 on Mickelson to win the PGA at 265 to 1 – that brought in a return of $9,200.
FYI: This always happens to friends of mine, never to me.
So at age 50, Phil Mickelson is being celebrated for being the oldest man to win a major.
Hey, it’s just golf, and they don’t even carry their own clubs.
Besides, since I turned 50, I’ve done a lot more than hole out a shot from a sand trap.
I got an AARP card.
I got Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
I’ve had kidney stones, twice.
I’ve had three colonoscopies.
I had a pulmonary embolism.
I acquired an enlarged prostate.
I got COVID.
And I bowled a 192 game.
You think Phil Mickelson could bowl a 192 while holding a Yuengling in his right hand?
