Over the weekend a lady was in her yard, across the street from a golf course. During a Pro-Am at the TPC Tampa Bay Bill Murry pulled a shot OB, over the street, and hit the lady. She was taken to the hospital.
No word on what score Bill carded on that hole.
She was overjoyed when she saw me because she said she had come out to see me and her husband had just said, ‘I hope he hits it over here.’

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.
My other golf site is called The Golf Space. The Golf Space is a social networking site, like Facebook or Myspace, only specifically built for golf and golf businesses.
The Golf Space is celebrating it’s 3rd birthday! The site is 100% free and I’m proud to say membership is over 4100 and visitors have hit the site over five million times since it opened during Masters week of 2006.
I’m constantly working on The Golf Space, adding new features and tweaks. All features are free to members.

No Spam – Golf Space member profiles are all individually read and manually approved. No robotic registrations or questionable profiles are allowed.
No Strippers – Golfers are generally classy individuals. Unlike MySpace and other networking sites, no strippers are allowed!
Karma – I invented a system which allows TGS members to give each other positive Karma. Each month and at the end of the year, Karma winners receive golf prizes!
I ask you to stop by The Golf Space and check it out. If you aren’t a member, it only takes a few seconds to sign up and start making golf connections!
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…
