Tomorrow is the first day of the two day Salt Lake Amateur, the best AM in the state IMO. My game is in decent shape right now, especially putting and driving. I like my chances for my goal of finishing in the money for the first time ever.. I’m hitting the sack early to get some rest.
A report will follow.
Expecting to pick up some lame bills in my mailbox the other day I received a mystery box from Baltimore. Who the hell do I know in Baltimore? Oh, did someone get mad about my article on Burning Tree and send something bad to me?
Turns out my good buddy BogeyMan from www.bogeylounge.tv had sent me a care package. What a stud. He’s Greek and a golf blogger, a great combination obviously 🙂 .
Here’s what was inside, the Big Break V swimsuit calendar. Sexy golf babes in bikinis and they all autographed the calendar for ME.
OK I’ll admit it. I’m in love with Katie, and not because of her swimsuit photos either. Katie, if you’re out there… 😛
And here’s the winner Ashley. I love her note to me…. Damn I’m a sick puppy.
So thanks to BogeyMan. Now go over to The Lounge and click some of his ads…
Today I play a practice round for this weekend’s awesome two day tournament. It’s one of the oldest tournaments around and the funnest AM: The Salt Lake Amateur.
Last year I shot my first round in the 80’s and pretty much shot myself out of the money. But on the 2nd day the course was set up as hard as it could be and there were 30mph winds. I somehow shot a 73 which was one of the lowest rounds the 2nd day. Even the pro asked me “how the hell did you shoot 73 out there?” That made me feel good. The 73 brought me back to 1 measly shot out of the money.
I’ve played in this tourney at one of my favorite courses for about 5 years and never placed. This year I can feel it. I’m going to be in the money. That’s the goal. I have no shot gross unless I can find a couple of 66’s in my bag somewhere. Not likely. But I just want to play well and get in the money (and have my name in the paper).
There are many reports floating around indicating that Tiger Woods is now practicing and getting ready for the U.S. Open.

I wonder how badly the PGA Tour’s numbers are suffering right now with relative “no names” winning every week? No Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Else, Retief Goosen, Vijay Singh etc (or at least if they are playing they’re not winning..).
The final round of the first half of this fantasy season is 3 weeks away. It’s a tight race for the winner of the Nintendo DS and True Swing Golf betweeen 04_Utes (Luke), and Bedford Golf. They’re tied for first with 2548 points. 2nd place this half will receive a copy of the book “The Hole Of The Third Eye” by HOG buddy Wayne Smith.
With 3 weeks to go in this half of the season HOG is making it’s move. HOG leapfrogged from 28th to 25th place.
This week’s winner for fantasy golf is Bobbleheads. For his efforts this week he wins a Golf Dust Tune-Up Kit.
