This is a little late, but last night an alert FrontBurnervian pointed me to Dan Jenkins’ Twitter feed. The Fort Worth scribe was a twittering fool from the British Open. He gets docked points for not having twittered since then and for only following one thing (Golf Digest), but it’s pretty amazing how literate and funny Jenkins can be in 140 characters or fewer. Five examples from Turnberry:
“Seen & heard at the Open: Woman picks herself up after tripping on the street. Concerned golf writer: “Can you tell us where Roxy’s is?””
“Ian Poulter might want to start dressing like a grownup.”
“I was Watson’s age 20 years ago — still drinking a lot, practically buying Elaine’s. I thought I was immortal. What’s the big deal about 59?”
“Here’s Stewart Cink creeping up, within a stroke of the lead, wearing the tasteful green cap of a softball team.”
“In the press room, we had a suspicion we weren’t good enough people to deserve Watson winning.”
