But damn it's miserable out there in Scottsdale in June. Folks talking about a dry heat haven't done it.

true but getting to play courses that would take 2 months salary during the winter is worth it. Plus, if you are out there in the heat they are making sure you're hydrated and have a cold towel every other hole. I only walked off the course 1 time and it was about 115deg (made it to the 13th though)

Took off work today and tomorrow. Played today and plan on playing the next 3 days. After all the rain we've had down here, I'm glad to finally be out playing again.

We have year-round golf in East TN, provided you're willing to sack up on a 45-degree sunny day in December and January when the wind's not blowing too hard.

Ryan Moore must have some serious talent and feel, because there is a lot happening in his swing.

His swing is pretty mad, but he makes it work.

It is 70 and sunny today, so I'm going to do my patriotic duty and go whack a golf ball, I'm guessing somewhere around 90 times.

Shot a hard luck 45 this afternoon, but it couldn't have been a better afternoon for it. One thing I didn't consider was the lengthening of the round caused by four guys trying to find balls in leaves after every shot--2.5 hours for a side is not exactly my style.

I did discover a glaring deficiency in my game--picking partners in Wolf. One tip: regarless of where he hits it, don't go with the redhead. That's my best advice based on today's experience, anyway.

these finals holes in China are interesting.

Tiger, Phil, and Ernie looking more like weekend hacks, if only for a second, than tour pros.
