What do Tiger Woods and Adam Scott have in common? If you think their similarities are limited to being young winners in the professional ranks, you are terribly mistaken.
Steve Stricker’s a world champion. Rory Sabbatini nearly reeled in a big one and who’s Garrett Willis again? Golf junkies are familiar with all of these names, at least the first two for sure, but where are the marquis players this year?
Should anyone be surprised that a 19-year-old successfully defended his title at an event that Jack Nicklaus calls the 5th major? I mean, really, aren’t you coming to expect a child prodigy to burst onto the scene at least once a year these days?
Sometimes you really have to stop and appreciate a moment, but first you have to recognize when you’re in one. Moments are all relative to what you hold dear in life.
11/23/00 -- There are so many sides to this complicated game. For the past four years, I’ve been able to brag that I knew it from at least two angles: media and player. Now I can say I know it from three. This past week, I caddied for one of my best friends at the LPGA Qualifying Tournament and needless to say, it was one of my biggest lessons in life, and certainly one of the most appreciated.
11/3/00 -- How streaky is this game of golf? I say that with a hint of obviousness because it IS!!! I know. I rode one of the lengthiest streaks in the world. I couldn’t make a cut for the longest time during my professional days. Granted that’s a bad one, but it’s a streak nonetheless.
