I would have picked the 9-iron…
One Ryder Cup nugget I forgot to mention which was really funny.
During Sunday’s singles matches at last week’s Ryder Cup, Steve Williams (Tiger Woods’ caddie) dropped Tiger’s 9-iron in a green side water hazard accidentally. Steve was cleaning Tiger’s club when he slipped. He had to brace himself or he’d fall in the water.
Tiger went without a 9-iron for a while until a diver recovered it and returned it later in the round.
When asked about why his 9-iron was dropped in the lake, Tiger replied “it was either Stevie or the 9-iron.”
I would have picked the 9-iron.
Easy boys, but I found another female golf blogger
Drop by and check out The Golf Girl’s blog. She’s documenting her latest obsession… golf. She’s a pretty darn good writer too.
Byron Nelson Dies at 94
Lord Byron Nelson passed away today at the age of 94. I love watching old video of his silky smooth swing and I love seeing that big smile he always had on his face.
How many titles would the amazing Byron Nelson have if he didn’t retire at age 34. Could you see Tiger Woods retiring in a little over 3 years?
Lord Byron holds a record that probably will never be broken by winning 11 straight tournaments on the PGA Tour. As good as Tiger is I still don’t ever see that happening.
In 1945 Byron won 18 times, including the 11 in a row. That record will probably never be broken either. The best you see in modern times is around 8-10 from Tiger and Vijay (a couple of years ago).
R.I.P. Byron and thanks.

This is the 3rd and final in a set of reviews I’m doing on Jim Engh courses I experienced during my recent trip to Colorado with fellow golf blogger Jay Flemma and others.
What is Pradera?
The Club At Pradera is a private golf club located in Parker, Colorado. Parker is about 45 minutes south of Denver. The terrain is similar to the area I described near Castle Rock with small mountains and hills, but a little more extreme.
The Course
This 18 hole track is what many have called Jim Engh’s “masterpiece” design. The course travels up and down the hills and through the canyons of this area. There are several extreme elevation changes in this par 72, 7183 yard layout. The most extreme is the drop off the black tees on #16 (pic below). 16 is a 632 yard par 5 with a 275 foot drop from the back tee to the fairway. How do I know it’s exactly 275 feet? Because I asked Engh himself during our round there!
