the Masters Golf tournament is happening this weekend
and it reminded me to refer you to the brilliant
"Cinderella Story" monologue by Bill Murray from the movie Caddyshack
you can find the sound file at

and click on Cinderella Story
The clip is a devastatingly accurate imitation
of pompous/pious TV broadcasts of golf
narrated by the crackpot greenskeeper
as he studiously takes the heads off a row of flowers
and fantasizes about his rags-to-riches triumph
I just listened to it and it totally cracked me up
I love the strange gender transposition of the Cinderella Story
in sports broadcasting
listen and laugh
with love,
Rob
