The Return of Tiger Woods
According to TigerWoods.com just over a month ago, Tiger Woods announced he would be returning to competitive golf. “……he hopes to play in the Safeway Open, Oct. 13-16, at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, California. Woods also intends to compete in the Turkish Airlines Open, Nov. 3-6, in Antalya, Turkey, and the Tiger Woods Foundation-run Hero World Challenge, Dec. 1-4, at Albany in the Bahamas. He will participate in the Tiger Woods Invitational presented by USLI, Oct. 10-11, on the Monterey Peninsula.

Tiger Woods is Coming Back, Again!
The golfing world is a buzz with the news that Tiger Woods plans to make his return to golf after a year of rehabilitation. His initial steps back to competitive play will be at the Safeway Open, Oct. 13-16, at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, California. Now the discussions will start on why, not whether, this is good for golf.
I am not the biggest Woods fan and I am a bit skeptical that his return will do anything for golf. I understand he has seemingly limitless star power, however his brilliant light will only last so long if he cannot win early in his return. Continue reading
An Amazing Golf Shot
I really do not have much today. On days like these, I like to hit the range and practice. Possibly play a round of golf with some friends. During the summer, just playing golf for fun helps to get my writing juices flowing. It is not a bad thing, just something needed every once in a while.
I hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday. If you cannot hit the links, here is something that will make you smile!
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
