THE PLAYERS - Tim Clark's Tribute to Seve Ballesteros

Spanish Flag at TPC Sawgrass via @ 

It hardly seems like a year ago that Tim Clark turned the tables.

On May 9, 2010... exactly one year ago... Mr. Clark won THE PLAYERS Championship and silenced the snarky scribes, who would never again be able to refer to him as a bridesmaid extraordinaire.  In addition, at 5' 7" he proved... once and for all... that tall is indeed, overrated.

The man once referred to as the penguin became T-Cizzle and a multitude of newly minted fans clamored to join his proud posse... not only because he now had that elusive PGA Tour win but also because of the good-natured persistence and relentless perseverance he demonstrated leading up to it. >---->

Sporting my Tim Clark Posse shirt
2011 got off to a stellar start for Clark with a T2 finish in the Nedbank Challenge and a T9 in the South African Open.  He also finished in a tie for second at the PGA Tour's Sony Open, but it was there in the final round... as he was en route to a 62 for the day... that his elbow injury first made itself known.  Presumed to be tendinitis, it's kept him out of a number of events since, and the decision to defend his maiden PGA Tour title this week... something he very much wants to do... is still pending. According to PGATour.com's Brian Wacker it'll be a game-time call.

The one thing that is certain is that Tim Clark will be there, at TPC Sawgrass for the tournament and indeed, he's already making his presence felt.

    Great post, as always. I'm really bummed I can't be there with my posse shirt this year. Watching him win last year was incredible, after getting to know Tim, his wife Candice, and his caddie Stevie throughout 2010. Tim really is a class act, and I hope the tendinitis or whatever is ailing him goes the hell away.

    And Ash, Tim Clark's Posse is on Facebook. Billy, the man who started it all, would probably send you a shirt if you asked for one.

    Take care Patricia.

    Golfers elbow. That's a tricky condition, I've had it for a couple of years and tried cortisone which helped but only temporarily. Now I'm told I'll probably need surgery if I want to play golf regularly. I hope Tim's prognosis is better.
