Today is the birthday of the great Seve Ballesteros, a golf legend we lost way too soon at the age of 54 back on May 6, 2011.

Seve Ballesteros was the inspiration behind the name of my now 1.5 year old son, “Seve.”  How fun.

Worst “Will Tiger break Jack’s major record?” article ever?

Hats off to Sports News IRELAND for the bonehead of the week award.

No, Tiger will not break the major record of Jack "Nicholas"

No, Tiger will not break the major record of Jack “Nicholas”

Not only did they regurgitate the most over-asked and tired question in golf history, they didn’t even spell the greatest golfer in history’s name correctly.

I can safely say that Tiger Woods will in fact NOT break the major championship record of Jack “Nicholas.”

Actually the title itself in this awful piece is quite puzzling.  Are they asking if Tiger will break Mr. “Nicholas’s” record of six Masters wins or the “Nicholas” record of 18 major championships?

Today is the par-3 tournament day at the Masters Tournament.  This tournament has been going since 1960.  The par-3 is a fun tournament where players interact closely with fans.  Some players who are not in the Masters Tournament are allowed to play the par-3 tournament.   Prior to the par-3 tournament there used to be a driving contest.

The par-3 tournament takes place at Augusta National’s par-3 course, possibly the most beautiful par-3 course in the world, though the folks at Three Tops located at Treetops Resort might argue that point.  As you will likely hear, no player who has won the par-3 contest has gone on to win the Masters Tournament.

Tiny greens… Augusta National Par-3 Course

I walked every hole of Augusta National’s par-3 course a couple of years ago and shot a ton of photos.  For one shot I even snuck onto a little boat I found in the lake.  The skies were a little gray the day I shot them but they still look great.  I put together a gallery of 77 images of the course, the largest and most complete online photo gallery of the course that I’m aware of.  All for you HOG “patrons.”  Click the photos or the link below to view the gallery.
