Proud To Be An American.....

Pearl Harbor. What more can you say? When spoken, these two words will touch a special place in your heart. However, when you see this National Monument for the first time in person, it magnifies those feelings beyond belief. I was fortunate enough to walk along these hallowed grounds today for the first time in my life. I didn’t need Hollywood around to add special effects or the glitz and glamour of the big screen. The mighty Arizona, a ship of rusted metal that sits below the water, is a sight that Hollywood cannot duplicate. The visible oil and the image one makes when thinking of the soldiers still trapped below are beyond belief. The huge monument that sits as a tribute with the name of soldiers who lost their lives on that fateful December day is indescribable. And the American flag, waving proudly above the white structure which sits atop the Arizona remains, makes you proud to be a part of this great nation. I thank those of you who have served our country for the freedom we have today. Pearl Harbor is a special place and I walked away having an even greater appreciation for the red, white, and blue.

They sure are lucky.....

Here are a few photos of a couple of guys that showed up on the 16th hole while I was practicing in Palm Springs, CA, on Friday. As you can see, I got within probably 20 yards of these incredible animals. They are definitely lucky I only had my golf clubs!!!

Is this winter?

Is it still considered winter if the temperature never gets below 75 degrees during the day?? I apologize for those of you who have snow or ice on your front porch but this weather is incredible. I flew into Palm Springs, California, on Monday evening for a week of practice before I head off to Hawaii on Saturday. I came to California looking for warmer weather as well as a chance to practice and prepare for the Bob Hope Classic. This event is played the week after Hawaii and due to its Pro-Am format with celebrities, it is played on four different courses. I have practiced all week on these courses in preparation for the event and I have certainly enjoyed seeing the sun tan on my arms and face reappear. I have plenty of rust on my golf game but it is definitely headed in the right direction. Hopefully by next Thursday, all the awkwardness and rust will be gone and things will be back to normal. I hope all of you are doing well and please stay warm and safe. I know most of you are surrounded by snow or freezing cold temperatures. Sorry to rub it in, but I have to go and put sunscreen on!! HaHa

Me? A blogger?

After months and months of refusing, I have finally broken down and become a blogger. WOW! I was very reluctant to create this site because I never felt my weekly activities on the road were worth reading. However, after tons of requests from friends and family, I have decided to move forward and hopefully give you an insight to my life on the PGA Tour. Please sign up to follow this blog on the right hand side if you so choose. This will give me an indication of whether or not this is worth while. Also, I welcome any requests or ways to make this blog better. I am new to all this, but I believe you can also leave comments. Thanks for all the support.
