 We knew this weekend would be hot  so we decided to play the local muni, its close enough to the beach to catch a breeze. The wind came up right on que and we got paired with a really nice lady she gave my daughter a run for her money which is always nice to see .In four and half hours we were in the bar watching Adam Scott
win his playoff. The adults tried a new blended rum drink the bar had on special a Banana Ball and my kid had a basket of fries and a Shirley Temple. LIFE IS GOOD.

 What a great masters ,a new guy won and at least on tough courses Tiger and Phil have a new crew of guys
 to worry about. As is usaully the case the cream rose to the top  both Tiger and Phil finished near the top. Trevor earned his green jacket , he hit every kind of shot when he needed it hooks on the par 5s cuts on the par4s. But what he did best was not panic when he made mistakes and took his medicine with out trying for miracle recovery shots and we can all learn from that. Seeing him struggle on the last two par 3s then regoup and keep that the damage to a minumuim. is the best lesson any mid to low handicaper could learn. Hats off to all the
 guys the weather was great and so was the play. The next major is at TORREY PINES a course  most  california guys can tell you is brutal and thats before they make it tourniment tough. My money for a change will be on Tiger , but if phil or trevor win I wont e heartbroke.

Golf if played right wont lie to you. If your getting better or you are not practicing your score is going to show it.
As people improve most start to play matches, few things feel as good as looking another player in the eye and knowing at least on that day you were the better player. Its a shame the internet isnt like that, people that hide behind cartoon faces in thier living room typing things they would never say to your face are pretty sad.
I feel this type of person will never have the guts to show up at a course and put his game or his money on the line when you do that your being honest about your game and yourself.The kind of person who tells us he is a scratch player in one forum and then asks if we can help him with his slice in another then tells us he hits his drives
300 yards isnt fooling to many people. Im not real sure this type of person isnt the sort to pose as teen age girl
on other sites, who knows? I saw a post a few weeks ago that said golf is the truest test of character, maybe the internet is an even better test if  we are honest with ourselves.
