Teed off this morning with a 17 degree windchill. Greens were crunchy. Surprised the course let me on. Got three 18's in today though on three different courses and one I had wanted to play for a long time. Cold weather = fast rounds! Awesome day.
Wow! 3 rounds today??? In that type of weather?? Good for you! That's some dedication right there...
Sutherland won the Champions event today for his first ever tour win and won the Charles Schwab Cup for the year. Seems a little silly when Langer won two of the four playoff events and has so many wins each year. It is playoffs though. Golf will always struggle having playoffs compared to other sports as in most sports the best team will win 70%+ the time whereas in golf the best player wins only 3-5 times a year.
Tiger is back. Outdriving DJ last week. What are your predictions for this week? 18 player field. I predict a finish of 16th.
I’m hoping for a “oh, my back/knee” on the 4th hole of round one. he can hit Perkin’s afterwards.
If I had known then what I know now...

I'm rooting for the ol man today... actually excited to watch a bit of golf.
No doubt. People say the media makes too big a deal about, but how can you not be excited about arguably the greatest player in history coming back to golf and being only 42 and reportedly smashing the ball as far as the biggest hitters in the game.
Golf channel in a tiger frenzy yesterday showing most of his major wins..7 birdies in a row at the 2004 masters!! Wow I forget all these records
I tuned in right in time for the "In your LIFE! Have you EVER?!...." chip.
Good times.
Nice! Then you also saw the putt he drained to win that masters..I forgot about that. It was 10-15 footer.
Yeah. DiMarco battled him about as well as anyone else did back in those days.
Apparently Tiger was 4 under today and looking real good. Just a pro am, but what you want to hear from a pro am at least....
Was following Tiger Tracker a bit this morning. Looked good. Eagled a par 4 after driving the green. Bananas easy course though.
Yeah Hideki won it at -18 last year.
Tiger Tracker is the best when he's playing
Yeah, I get a kick out of Tiger Tracker. Found out who it was though and like Santa, kinda ruined. The Tracker and the actual person tweeted the exact same thing a few seconds apart a while back then the one from the real account was deleted, but I got a screenshot.

exactly.... and as Cliff mentioned above about Brandel, hes been riding him hard since he left. Love to see him come out and prove the naysayers wrong.
With all the shit that happened in his life, he is human, and the man that changed the view on golf for all us, he deserves a second chance for everything he has done for the sport.
Watching Tiger in the 90s, I hated to see him win all the time as I rooted for the underdog.... but now with all the adversity he has faced, I like to see him stand proud again.

The european tour absolutely kills it

Also, please god please, no flights to Dubai.
I'm off Thursday. Planning playing a quick round in the morning and then settling in for a little Tiger Woods action in the afternoon.
Can't wait
