11

What does today's title mean? No it's not a Casey Weldon reference, nor Voodoo Phil. Well, not really.

Phil Mickelson, my boy, jacked up an 11, for a sextuple bogey last week on the par 5 14th hole at Pebble Beach last week. This, along with just poor play in general, as well as breathing, caused Phil to miss the cut for the first time in seven years. Here is Mickelson's gruesome sequence at the 573-yard hole: driver in the fairway, second shot out of bounds, third shot penalty, fourth shot out of bounds, fifth shot penalty, sixth shot short of the green, seventh shot missed the green in the mud, eighth shot fat and missed the green, ninth shot on the green, two putts for an 11.

First of all, I will say that not missing a cut in seven years is quite an accomplishment. I mean, when you only play a few tournaments out of the year, you best be ready to go. Apparently Phil wasn't ready to go and his "respiratory issue" aka, being out of shape, has caught up to him.

Back to the 11 though. Remember the Carbite putter? The infomercials that came on after the Orlimar Trimetal and Adams' Tightlies spots? Well, they said, "Why spend $400 on a club you only use maybe once a hole?" In my opinion, if you can drive the ball well, it makes everything else a lot easier. But how many disaster holes start out from the fairway like Phil's?

I know today is a short post. But it's to the point. I want you to know that Phil Mickelson is just like you. He through up an 11 jack last week. FYI.
