Kevin Costner Gets Cooler By the Minute

I'll look past the soul patch. I will turn my eyes to the non-Roy McAvoy golf swing we came to love. I won't even remark on the fact that Kevin Costner said "Tin Cup" ruined his life.

Costner is the man. He always has been and he always will be in the golf world. He might hate having to live with the "Tin Cup" persona on a golf course, but he brought to life one of the best sports characters ever, a man we golfers can all relate to on a number of levels. We golfers live with demons daily, from personal to physical to spiritual to four-footual. It's the cross golfers bear. We're a select group of idiots that play this game because we don't know any better. John Daly is our leader. We just try to wear more muted pants.

Costner was approached at the RBC Canadian Open after a tee shot by some lady that looks like she should be living in Scottsdale (Blue Martini, 8 PM!), and asks Kevin if he had ever tried any Mike Weir wine. His response couldn't be any better. Watch this, courtesy of Mr. Busbee at Devil Ball Golf.
