Sensing Need To Contribute To Masters Par-3's Circus Atmosphere, Greg Wants Chrissie To Caddy

Thanks to reader Andrew for Josh Robbins' story on Greg and Gregory Norman. Dad knows his cheesy Tony Robbins metaphors:

"I've learned from Gregory his tenacity and his desire to be good at whatever he does," the father said. "It resonates out. When you're under pressure, you could see the intensity that comes out of an individual. What do you want to do? "Do you want to fly like an eagle or fly like a buzzard? And Gregory wants to fly like an eagle."

Gregory responded: "I learned how to do those things from him."

Gregory Translation: "Okay dad, that was a bit over the top. I'm going to keep my answer brief."

Now the real news:

It's possible, however, that Evert, not Gregory, may caddie for Norman in the Par 3 event on the eve of the Masters. In fact, it's an idea that Gregory endorses.

"She should definitely caddie," Gregory said when a reporter brought up the possibilityon Friday.

Norman agreed, saying anything is possible.

"[Chris and I] have talked about that actually," Norman acknowledged. "Whether that happens or not, I don't know."

I think I understand the eagle and buzzard metaphor, but the bit about intensity resonating (visually) out of an individual under pressure...has been on pulse blend for a few seconds too many.

I remember back to the time of the British Open last summer, thinking of what a thrill it would be to have Norman qualify for another Masters (A win perhaps, with an ailing/recovering Tiger? The greatest redemption in th history of sport?)

Now, uh, I'm no so sure.

It's always fun to read comments from guys who haven't accomplished anything with their lives making fun of someone who won more than 100 tournaments around the world and become one of the most famous individuals in sports history. LOL.

I'll personally take Norman over 100 Anthony Kims or any one of these other boring, colourless, flat, grinding, carbon copy players that are "rising" on the PGA tour today. Thank God golf is taking on a more global colour and the PGA tour is dying.
