phil mixican

Obviously, golf is a big deal in my house.  I prefer to say that golf pays the bills rather than grass, it sounds more interesting.  Anyway, the Masters is a big deal to everyone and Phil is a family favorite.  I remember being at a friends house for Easter with about 15 people in 2004.  We had just finished the infamous egg roll and everyone was watching the Masters.  B.'s mom got so excited that she jumped off her chair and screamed when Phil hit the winning putt.  Then we got to meet him from afar when we were at the Tiger Woods tournament (AT&T Classic) at Congressional in 2007.  Our friends were with us and B. hoisted their daughter on his shoulders.  She yelled, Mr. Mikson, Mr. Mikson and, because B. with a 6 year old on his shoulders is approximately 9 feet tall, Mr. Mikson gave her an autograph!  So, this year we continue to watch and cheer for Phil.  A. watched with B. yesterday and cheered for Phil "Mixican" in the purple shirt.  She clapped as everyone else clapped and yelled, "ohhhhh" whenever he missed including the drive and shots from the intermediate. Here is the happy duo watching sports.   
K. was a little less interested.  We'll give him a few more years.
