Congrats to Adam Hadwin for being the 8th person in PGA Tour history to shoot a 59. He was the 4th player to do it on a par 72 course! I also read he was the first non winner on tour to shoot this amazing score. Maybe he can fix that today. Continue reading

Experiencing Golf Through Friends

Keeping this in mind, it is very challenging to determine who will have the most FED Ex points leading into the playoff or is it?

Besides being a mentally focused on playing well, I have a positive attitude that transfers to my game once I tee it up. Having said that, playing well over a 54 hole event is challenging and sometimes my execution is not quite up to par. The trick is to not let your competitor see you sweat! Continue reading
