What's With All the Paunches?

I'm watching the Phoenix Open on TV - it had been on the Golf Channel and is now moving over to CBS for the final few hours...and it will be on again tomorrow morning, since they had some delays due to the frozen course.

Golf is funner to play than to watch, but Phil Mickelson is a favorite of mine and I had wanted to see him do well today. And of course, he's not. Missed a par from 4 feet away, then bogied the same hole from 2 feet away!

But what's really got my ire up is I'm watching these guys walk around the golf course, and every single one of them has got a paunch! (Not to mention wearing really baggy slacks, so annoying for those of us who want a little eye candy. Hey - if the woman golfers oblige with their shorts, why shouldn't men oblige with some tighter pants? Well, of course, they don't have to.)

Anyway, Phil of course has always been a little overweight, but every single one of these guys - who are supposed to be athletes, eh, have their little belly bumps. Some larger than others, of course.

I even seem to remember Tiger, last week, seemed to have a few extra pounds around the middle.

But no one says anything. After all, they're guys. But let women golf players walk around carrying an extra 20 pounds, and oh, my, they'd never hear the end of it.
