I'm always amazed at the lack of understanding of the rules of golf. One of the more straight forward rules is the rule for a hazard and everyone has more trouble with it. I'm not going to say anything more than the Masters Competition Committee and Tiger should both take a good look in the mirror. I can't wait to go to the TDGA rules seminar tomorrow night at HDCC and hear the discussion about what happened on Friday. I'm know the presenter, who is an outstanding rules official, will have a lot to say. For those of you who don't know Gerry L., he is one of a few people who has scored 100% on the examination for officials, and highly respected by the USGA. He was Tiger's walking official several years ago at the US Open. For those interested I believe the seminar starts at 6:30 PM (check the TDGA web site).
No golf again this weekend. I guess we're paying for last year's early start. Brad told me that Eric says we are at least three weeks behind in Spring growth. The coming week now doesn't look that promising. A lot of rain in the forecast. With some luck we might squeeze some play in.
I'm sure most of you Know Ed Van Leuven (PGGA) passed away earlier this year in Florida. It wasn't publicized in the Perrysburg area at the time, so it was under our radar. The family is holding a memorial service for Ed next Saturday at St Rose at 11 AM, with a lunch to follow at BCC. I did not know Ed well, but thought highly of him, and was sorry to hear of his passing.
Hope to see ya at the training table,
CC
