Not much in the golf world this week to discuss, so it’s a good time to review some of the happenings of 2005.

The feel good stories of 2005

Tiger Woods

Tiger’s year is #1 in my book (though these are not in any particular order). Here’s a list of some Tiger nuggets of interest:

Two majors (Masters, British).
6 wins.
Player of the year.
Money title for PGA and world.
1st in scoring.
1st in all-around ranking.
1st in birdie average.
2nd in driving distance (316.1).
5th in putting (1.731).
Longest drive: 408 yards (2nd).
1st in back 9 scoring.
2nd in top 10 finishes.
1st in final round scoring.
1st in par 4 and par 5 birdies.
188th in driving accuracy*.

Golf on December 26th

I played golf today. It was 18 great holes of hackin’ the ball around. Didn’t play well but I’M very happy to play one day after Christmas. That just doesn’t happen around here. Last year I was shoveling three feet of snow off my driveway on December 26th.

Quick pre-round post…

Happy day after Christmas. It is unseasonably warm here right now. Last year at this time I was getting 3′ of snow dumped in my driveway. But today I’m going golfing. The temps in the last week here have been in the upper 40’s and actually topped 50.

So I’m off to play a round of golf this morning. Back later tonight with some new nuggets.
