the tpc sawgrass is in florida.

watching a little of the players championship off the golf channel tivo. the players are all aglissen with sweat. here's the famous 17th «island hole».

the theme music from the players championship is the same music as the theme from the movie the man from snowy river which is one of the all time great movies. if you haven't seen it, you should. if you have seen it, you should watch it again.

so, we're sitting here watching golf, and i hear that song, and i know right away what it is, but i googled it to get some confirmation. i learned the music is composed by bruce rowland and also learned that the movie is based on a poem.

the place i found this info is on ebay - where there is apparently a growing sort of wikipedia type thing going on. sort of odd. also odd - the star of the man from snowy river, tom burlinson, is a judge on australia's got talent which for those of you out of the loop is like american idol only better b/c you might see something besides some goofball kid belting out a john denver song on cowboy theme night. here's tom from snowy river days. he's currently not only a judge on the talent-o-rama - he's also a singer and does some sort of frank sinatra schpeil. i'd include a current picture, but he's old now, and what fun is that? didn't we all look better 20 years ago? well, unless you're like 19, in which case 20 years ago you might have looked sort of fetusy adn that's not really a good look for most folks.
