Tiger Woods Week in Akron

I'm elevating this week to the 4th most important week of the year.  Tiger Woods going for his 9th WGC win at Firestone. Traveling thru Texas now on the way to Colorado. Stanley's BBQ in Tyler for us today. Yay.

A week of respect for the bloggers up north.......

A National Championship that only two have won the US Open and the British along with this event right? Lee Trevino and some other guy.

My 4th favorite major of the year this week.....

I hope the rains stay away. I love this event when its brown, burnt out and playing fast! I know that means bad news for Rory but it sure does make for some interesting golf. Someone we all know and love is going to win this week!

The week of golf no one gets too excited about.....

Those weeks before a major. Some get interesting but in the back of your mind you are just wishing the week could end so that we can get to the good stuff!

A nice week last week for everybody except maybe Mr. Kang...

Ho Hum! Tiger is playing again this week....

I'm sure we will hear about fantastic play during practice and the pro-am event and then he will come out and go +3 after 4 or 5 holes and end up saving the round with some good play on the back to shoot Even for the day.

When he added Valspar to his schedule I actually felt like he was trying to put it together and make another run.... right now I think he is enjoying hanging out with the youngsters and playing again but winning is way down the list. Just my opinion but for him to have only one event between US Open and the British Open ( especially after only lasting 2 rounds ) is a joke and a slap in the face to his fans.

Maybe someone needs to tell him he does not qualify for WGC events anymore and he should adapt his schedule accordingly. He added a couple of new events this year but dropped some and its painfully obvious he is not going to qualify for any of the WGC's.

Oh Well, go Tiger ( for the first two days at least )!!

Breather week......

Recap of last week: Does everyone realize that the US Open was started by the USGA and has been run by the USGA the whole time? NewsFlash....if you don't like the way the USGA sets up the course for THEIR event, then don't play in it or don't go watch it or don't report on it!

No one is forcing you to play or watch or report. See how easy that is? Please don't act like this kind of set up issues has not come up before. Dave Hill called a US Open course a "cow pasture " and cries of " rough is too hard to pitch out of" and "the greens are so hard, the parking lot receives shots better ".....

Crying about the conditions of the US Open has been going on probably longer than most of you have been alive.
