Laying up on a par five and hitting the green in three may be good strategy in a golf tourney, but seriously, it's for pussies. If you're not going to pull out a big woods and at least try to slam it onto the green in two, you might as well hit from the reds on the next tee.

So I don't know if you saw, but this past weekend at The Players Championship, Top-Flite had a team of people positioned at the two par-5 fairways wearing black masks and NeverLayUp.com t-shirts. Their sole purpose was to pressure the pros into going for the green. If the guy chose to stick to his strategy and lay up, they'd show their disapproval by turning their back on him, revealing the words "C'mon... Man Up!"

Did any of the pros actually succumb to the peer pressure of a group of masked chuckleheads in black shirts? According to a Top-Flite rep, on the 16th hole the group asked Ben Curtis' caddy if he was going to go for it. The caddy responded by pulling out a wedge. The masked men responded by turning their backs. The caddie put the wedge back in the bag and took out a wood. And apparently later in the day, on the same hole, Todd Hamilton, 2004 British Open Champion, was asked if he would go for the green, he said with a smile, “Well, I have to now, right?”

Neither broke the top 40, but at least they still have their manhood.
