My heart goes out to my golf pal Jim

I just received some horrible news related to my good friend of many years, Jimmy V. I’m not sure if he wants this to be public at this point so I won’t go into details. But my friend has suffered a terrible loss.

Jim, I feel for you my friend. If there’s anything I can do for you let me know. I experienced a similar event myself many years ago, though half of what you’ve had to endure. Take care and things will get better.

What a week

I’m coming down from a week long Masters high. What a week. So many great story lines in this years Masters. Cabrera, Perry and of course the big Tiger/Phil pairing…

Blog break

I’m a bit down due to other non golf related issues. Yes the dreaded “life” category. I’m going to take a short blogging break to clear my mind and reset. I hope to be fresh when I come back. Knowing me that break will only be a day or two, if I can resist golf blogging at all.

On the bright side there are only only 11 months, 24 days, 22 hours, 52 minutes until the 2010 Masters…

7:24pm ET – ANGEL CABRERA IS MASTERS CHAMPION

Kenny Perry lost his swing starting on the 17th hole and through the two hole playoff. Chad Campbell succumbed to the pressure as well, putting his approach shot into the right greenside bunker on the 1st hole of the playoff.

Angel Cabrera has some big time kahunas and is Masters champion! I’ll write more later, but there’s still daylight. I’m off to the course to play until sunset.

6:46pm ET PLAYOFF

I think I’m going to have a heart attack.

Kenny Perry bogeys the last two holes. We have a three man playoff between Kenny Perry, Chad Campbell and Angel Cabrera. Guess I’ll keep my clubs in the garage for now and crack open a frosty beverage.

6:21pm ET

17th fairway… Kenny Perry has a two shot lead after making birdie on 15 and nearly ACING 16. I’m so happy for Perry, who will become the oldest major champion in the history of golf. I just hope he finishes soon, so I can get out and play a few holes. This is the only time of year I’d rather watch golf than play it, and I have the itch.

5:40pm ET

Kenny Perry just made a 3-putt par on #13 to stay at -12, but still holds one shot lead over Chad Campbell. Cabrera still has a chance at -10.

Tiger and Phil both limped home, making bogey on 18. Perhaps they just beat each other up today. Tiger even knocked his 2nd shot off a tree trunk. Phil‘s 67 and Tiger‘s 68 could have been 65’s or better. I could have sworn I saw Tiger limping after the tree shot on 18. Just like in football, limp after you make a bad play…

The First Sunday In April – The Masters

Since it is Masters time, this is a great time to do a quick book review. The First Sunday In April is…

“A collection of stories and insights from Arnold Palmer, Phil Mickelson, Rick Reilly, Ken Venturi, Jack Nickluas, Lee Trevino and many more about the quest for the famed green jacket.”

Essentially this book contains Masters stories as told by primarily golf writers and players. Some of the stories are quotes from player biographies. I like the way Don Wade describes the book in his foreward:

“…a literary stroll down Magnolia Lane.”

Coffee Table Book

Being just a collection of stories, this isn’t a book you need to read from front to back sequentially. You can just pop it open and flip to a random page and read stories about the famed par-3 12th hole or many other happenings at Augusta. Keep it on the coffee table like I do, and flip to a random chapter for a few minutes over coffee in the morning.

“First” Sunday In April?

Today is the final round of the 2009 Masters. It is Sunday the 12th of April. It is the 2nd Sunday in April. Details details…

Conclusion

If you are a Masters fan like me, this is an enjoyable book to have around. I love “stories” about The Masters and Augusta National and I eat ’em up.
