-Yesterday was simply amazing. Aside from UK Basketball & our obvious marquee Football wins, that's as good as it gets for me with sports. I was as nervous down the stretch watching that than I've ever been myself, playing golf. Truly an all time moment for Golf, and for me, in sports -- and to do it against that leaderboard, shew.
-I think Tiger vice-captaining in the Ryder Cups when he was at his lowest was a huge turning point with him. Before, he was on an island with few friends, and generally disliked on tour aside from the money he made everyone. That's just not the case anymore. He had a whole swarm of guys waiting for him after his win, which was never the case before -- and many of those guys are true friends. I'm not naïve enough to think Tiger is some great person now, but I do think he's changed quite a bit, as humans often do.
-Love me some Xander Shauffele. Just beginning his 3rd year on tour, he's now played 8 majors, finishing 6th or better in half of them. Just so many young great players out there these days.
-Tickets for the PGA at Bethpage arrived last week. Always wanted to attend a major at a truly classic venue, and it being in NYC just made perfect sense. The buzz heading into that one will be PALPABLE. #ThisIsMajor
-I'm fairly certain nobody wants to join in 'The Bet', but if you do please consider this your invitation. I very much like my position.
-So, Cole Anthony pretty much dominated the Hoop Summit. Everyone who's anyone agrees that kid is one of the more special PGs to come into college in this era. UNC has next to nothing for next year, but I suppose with him in the fold that changes everything, or at least makes them interesting.
-I will eventually watch Game of Thrones, not sure when. Although it's completely not my style of show or subject matter, that many people can't be wrong?
-So our QB's combined to go like 28-30 or whatever at the Spring Game? Not sure to be excited or worried about that...probably a bit of both.
-Wife leaves Saturday for a full week at the beach.
.-My back yard sucks. Really trying to treat it properly this year, but having a small fenced in space with 2 dogs isn't a recipe for success no matter what you do. The 5 figure gumball totals probably don't help anything either.
Also need to figure out a solution for the cattle trail that runs the fence line (that turns into a mud trough when it rains) -- anyone ever tried pea gravel, or anything else?
-Many will be happy to know I'll be in town for Derby this year. Looking like the backside for Oaks with my golf partner/horseman buddy at his barn -- apparently a blast back there.
-Lost (to me) in the Masters hype were the NBA playoffs starting. My interest will grow as they advance, but I plan to enjoy.
-Good seeing @tfields01 Saturday night randomly at a wedding. South End Louisville is weird like that, seems like everyone is connected somehow.
-As a whole, the Books took a bath on Tiger -- William Hill's largest US loss on any event, ever. Score one for the good guys.
-Ty Jerome signing w/ agent and entering draft, and I think he stays in. UVA will still be a rightful #1 preseason (or at least Top 3), but that dude will be hard to replace. Clarke seems ready to try, though.
-Guaranteed Star
