Yesterday I was able to watch the last hour of the PGA championship which was totally dominated by Tiger Woods. After he won he was asked by a reporter this question:
I had to ask him: Do you ever feel sorry for opponents as you destroy them on championship Sundays?
”No.”
Tiger is a competition / […]
I spent a year or so being a golf caddy for my friend Joe Kovac who was an assistant golf pro for a country club when I was in junior college. If I was not caddying for Joe, he always got me onto nice country clubs to play with him and tons of […]
I have been golfing a lot this summer. I have not written a lot about golf because there are more important things to rattle on about but today, much like Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam sings in his 1990 song “Alive,” have I got a little story for you….
I woke up early. I […]
Oh Phil, you just had me! After years of banging on Phil Mickelson, professional golfer, gamblin man, super talent, he had me. He had won three of the last ten professional golf majors and looked to be on top of the world. Last Saturday he went into Sunday at the US Open […]
Today I got to meet with my friend Ramon. Ramon is one of my favorite people in the whole world. Ramon grew up in the Dominican Republic and came to the USA to study in Iowa for his undergrad degree. I could write a book about Ramon, but suffice it to say, […]
What a weekend. I have been going pretty much non-stop all weekend. I played golf close to 5 times in 4 days. Yes, it was a golfing marathon. Today it was about 97 degrees when Todd and I played and it sucked the juice right out of us. But, we had fun and continued to […]

The team performed at a pretty typical level, beating the teams we should, and competing against the really good teams. […]

There was a good deal of concern about the PGA Tour playing in New Orleans last week. Some wondered if it was such a good idea, a bunch of high-paid golfers showing up and leaving town with a lot of cash. Maybe that wouldn’t be sending the right message.
But it was the PGA Tour’s […]
Today marked my 4th golf round of the season and I shot 89. Last year it took me four months to break 90, and today it happened in the second week of the season. Boy does that feel good. The crazy thing about the round was that I only had 3 pars […]
This weekend was about as close to perfect as it gets for me.ÂÂ
1) I golfed for the first time this season. Todd and I golfed at the new club I joined - the Legacy and I broked 100 - by 1 (99). That was a great time and cannot wait for more golf this season.ÂÂ
2) I […]
