    Yeah but I wasn't expecting him to try and play so soon. Wasn't this after Christmas last year?

    Seriously thinking about going to the Hero.  When I saw it on tv last year the gallery was almost non-existent so should be super easy to get a good view.   The field so far:

    Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas, Spieth, Koepka, Dustin, Hideki, Fowler, Day, Rose, Kuchar, Leishman, Reed, and some others. 

    Gotta look at my work schedule.

    coming back for a “tournament” without a cut. maybe another 17th place finish will convince him to hang it up for good.

    He did have the most birdies that week. 

    Boom!  Mic drop.

    I don't know if any of you guys follow club pro guy on twitter, a mock account of a low level club pro. It's pretty hilarious. Regardless, no laying up had a pretty amazing podcast with him. It's  pretty friggen hilarious.

    Tried to hit a hero shot with the ball sitting on a tree root.  I close the face to hit a hook.  Instead the ball shoots left right away,  hits the tree and bounces straight back into my skull.   Ouch!  Got a nice little bruise out of it.

    Lesson:   Don't be a hero.  Use the foot wedge.

    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.

    Ha.  Padraig hiding the ball under the grass was my favorite.

    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.

    Just hoping for a healthy 4 rounds and no yips.  He came in dead last last year, but also had the most birdies, if I remember correctly.

    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
