Snap Judgements for MAR 2007

By D Magazine |

THUMBS UP: Forty-eight states must go without a PGA TOUR Superstore. On March 1, two (two!) open in North Texas, in Plano and Frisco. Superstores, if you’ve never been, are way better than, say, a Golf Galaxy. Instead of one computer simulator on which to hit your practice balls, the two here will each have eight, overseen by a PGA Tour certified expert, tweaking your swings as you go. As for the selection, well, let’s just say the Superstores will have more left-handed clubs than most golf shops have clubs. You may never visit the range again.

THUMBS DOWN: The craziest thing about Paula Abdul’s breakdown on a Seattle television show—in which she appeared either really drunk or, if you believe her, really confused by the questions in her ear piece—is that it happened again in Dallas. True story. Fox Channel 4 had a similar interview on its web site. Abdul is just as drunk/confused. But hours after posting it, the station took it down. Management would not explain why. (D called twice but our queries went nowhere.) Worse, when the American Idol host later attempted an explanation for her behavior, Fox Channel 4 re-aired a snippet of its own interview, but not the fuller, more incendiary portions. Self-censor much?
