Can’t say that I watched the PGA Championships this year. Not that I did not want to but I was in the hospital having surgery. So I did not have a TV near me and even if I did I would not have been coherent enough to understand what was happening. At one point I remembered it was on but it was Saturday afternoon and they were showing the 2000 PGA Championship because there was a weather delay.

Where you play is there a hole that you can never conquer? How about a golf course that for what ever reason you do not perform as well as you should? How would you feel if your name was Jack Nicklaus, winner of more professional major tournaments than anyone else in the world, and there was one tournament that no matter how hard you tried you could never win that event. The Canadian Open was that tournament for Jack Nicklaus. In the 27 times he played the event he never won but he was runner up 7 times.
First of all congratulations to Padraig Harrington for defending his title in such adverse conditions. Great story lines occurred throughout the event. From Rocco Mediate being tied for the lead after the first round. Greg Norman being the leader after 54 holes. Norman set a record as the oldest player to hold a 54 hole lead. Harrington was contemplating withdrawing from the event due to a sore wrist.
So how many push ups can you do in a row? 5, 10, 20, 50, 100+? Are you up for a Challenge? How long would it take you to do 100 push ups in one set. Imagine how you will feel after you could finish 100 push ups in one go both physically and mentally?
Chances are this one of the most memorable US Opens to date. A David versus Goliath 18 hole playoff which turned into a see saw battle from start to finish. In the end Tiger beat Rocco Mediate in the first hole of sudden death to win his 14th major title. Even though Rocco did not win I can see has gained a lot of confidence and can see him playing well for the next few months. Rocoo kept an unbelievable positive throughout the round and should be proud of the way played in this US Open.
Many course where I lived open the course for the season on full green in mid-April only to have it snow for a week straight. So far this season we have only been able to read about golf than actually play or practice. The local newspaper has a weekly golf section and last week it dedicated a large portion of the article on fitness, nutrition and injury prevention. One article on injury prevention was written by a doctor and had a statement that caught my eye.
Congratulations to Trevor Immelman for winning the 2008 Masters and his first major tournament win. With only one real hiccup in the final round, the double bogey on 16, Trevor played very steady considering the pressure and the windy conditions on Sunday. I thought the approach shot into 18 was one of his best all day since the ball was lying in the back of a divot.

Been a while since my last post. First battled the flu bug and went on holidays during the Easter break. Played my first two rounds of the year while on vacation. My expectations for score were quite low I simply did not expect to score well. I have not swung a club probably since September maybe October. I knew my ball striking, timing, feel, short game, and long game (ok basically every aspect) would not be anywhere near my potential.

The 2008 Buick Invitational was historic on two fronts. First, Tiger Woods tied Arnold Palmer for career wins on the PGA Tour with 62. Also the Buick Invitaional is the third tournament that Tiger Woods has won 6 times. But how did Tiger win the 2008 Buick Invitational?
