2012 M Awards: Favorite Golfer

Sandy: I want you to kill every gopher on the course!
Carl: Check me if I’m wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’re gonna lock me up and throw away the key…
Sandy: Gophers, ya great git! The gophers! The little brown furry rodents!
Carl: We can do that; we don’t even have to have a reason.

This has no bearing on this category, but I have very few opportunities to quote Carl Spackler.

John Daly, First Place: 27.34%
Memphis Tigers Golf Team, Second Place: 20.86%
Justin Timberlake, Third Place: 15.11%

Best song to listen to while contemplating this category… Gopher Guts by Aesop Rock. So what do you think, Memphis? Did you get it right? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
