A big thank you to the golf god(s) for not allowing Tiger to win on Sunday. Better yet they treated us to a really exciting finish between two tough competitors. And, history was made by Adam Scott who became the first Aussie to win the Masters. Even Jason Day hung tough after a couple of hiccups. I felt bad for Snedeker who played so well for so long.
I attended the TDGA rules seminar last evening. Guess what the main topic was? Well, actually we talked about the rules as they related to playing the ball as it lies and the cases where you are allowed relief. I learned a few things that were unclear to me. The evening ended with a lengthy discussion about the Tiger ruling. Needless to say there was a lot negative feelings about how the situation was handled. Several news articles were handed out and it was surprising to learn how the Masters Comm. has show favoritism towards the royalty of the game in the past. You can access Global Golf Post for a very interesting discussion of the situation (go to www.globalgolfpost.com for April 15). There were several local area golf professionals present, and to a man they thought Tiger should have voluntarily withdrawn.
Now if the rain would quit we could get to playing some golf. This weather is maddening. Maybe it is just normal and we were spoiled last year. Anyway, there is a lot of pent up demand waiting to be fulfilled.
