The Masters General indicates that the golf season is well and truly underway in Lethbridge, but not this year. It's great to be back and even though the season here in the city has had to start, stop start soon we will reap the benefits of recent rains and wet snow. It is by far my favorite time of year the anticipation of the long hot summer, and retouching of new equipment, trying to get the correct 14 implements ready for battle with local courses. The new ball Flying to turn more or less, the new spin milled wedge so that it can stop the ball faster, and the new square headed driver ........ the what! Yes, again has been an interesting season with lots of new toys to attract and excite. Old traditionalists I still crave the feeling of persimmon, no and can not get past the appearance and the "ting" sound of these latest and greatest creations. Nike drivers were so good that it had to withdraw square headed variety as you just make it illegal in terms of laws and regulations of golf, the ball really flew too far?
The new clothes 're out and about and brown, yes good coffee, for men anyway, seems to be color. Knew that if I kept all these things would be back in style, only took me 15 years. That is the last talk of fashion and my 11 year old daughter hugs when looking at the "sense of his father Golfy dress!"
Some what of the latest Stanley Cup golf from the Masters. I say that because this is indeed the richest prize in golf. Not only is Worth 1.3 million, but you can play in this case with old-time good guys in the South to the rest of your life, or until you can break even at least 80. You become an honorary member of one of the best courses in the world and his own green jacket "symbolic of a member at Augusta National. In no other big you obtain the same benefits, in fact most large now enjoy an exemption of 10 years. In terms of prestige, reputation and fame of the Masters is to win. Zach Johnson, 31 Iowan, was surprised last week with one of the real David and Goliath performances in sport. He took a "7,400 yard beast" the best player in the world and the hordes of media and some of the most educated golf fans, to win his first major championship. How did he do that? He did it by force of will and most importantly because it was the best putter in the field.
Johnson, not much by today's standards of the PGA Tour, had nothing that around with known terrorists, Mickelson, Singh and Woods, of course. In a real fairytale ending he threw Johnson, putts and played the ball with precision around him was the majestic gardens of Augusta was the last man standing. His short game was impressive under pressure and the up and down in the final 72 holes assured a surprising victory. The fact that the ball rolled to within a couple of inches was a great blessing, as if it were much longer who knows? I heard that this year's event, around the grill club rooms and lounges, was a Master of tranquility. " I suppose it was because there was the same amount of birdies, it was too cold to drink and maybe people hand their hands in their pockets to try to keep warm. This master had everything, however, best players in the world playing in April in a difficult position and very demanding course. I loved it. Woods was close, but the putter and atrocious driving him down, I dare say, but he does not deserve to win. Johnson was a worthy champion and refreshing, and perhaps gave hope to all that this game is still on the accuracy and putting into place the long ball.
