I’m going to pick Davis Love III as the winner of today’s final with Ogilvy. Hopefully he won’t have to kick anyone out of the gallery this time like he did a couple of years ago when he was in the final.
While I’ve been away from watching golf on TV I was amazed to see that Tiger, Phil, Toms and Singh had all been eliminated in the Accenture match play. Interesting.
It’s 11:18pm. We just got back from pizza night and gambling in Mesquite…. I’m tired so this is going to be short.
The golf was awesome today at Sunbrook. The weather was great but my game was not. I’m very rusty and I can’t hit an iron to save my life. My chipping is beyond terrible. Putting is great. Won many of my bets but not the Chicago (I’ll explain a Chicago later). The score was better today, but not good.
After golf we hit Mesquite where in the pic below you can see us all playing the Megabucks slot machine. The whole group put in $20 and everyone gets their turn. If it hit the jackpot, we’d all be splitting $15,000,000. Everyone was rubbing the machine for good luck but it didn’t work. We’re not millionaires. Then I got in trouble with the security guard who made me erase the pictures. I told him my battery died so I only erased about 2 of 15 pics.
Gotta get to sleep now. Need rest for day 4.
Greetings from my hotel which just happens to have a free wireless internet connection! It’s day 2 of my trip and day one of 6 straight days of golf. If I’m this tired now, I have no idea how I’m going to survive the next few days. I am beat. At least all my clothes and car smell good since my brand new bottle of Hummer cologne completely leaked all over all them during the drive last night. My socks never smelled so good.
Last night I rolled into St. George Utah and stayed with a golf buddy who brought his travel trailer. I didn’t get any food for dinner but fortunately my pal had some cheese curds and donuts…dinner of champions.
We camped in Snow Canyon which is a spectacular little canyon near an awesome golf course called Entrada. We woke up before sunrise (you do that when you’re “camping”). The moon was just coming up over the red rock plateau above our camp site (see pic).
The round today had some crazy happenings. On the first hole alone we had a broken club, a chip in birdie and a snowman. Unfortunately, the snowman was mine. The round took FOREVER. 6 hours to be exact. The course was packed for the nice weather and there where hackers everywhere. 6 hours is terrible.
We played many individual bets, team bets, skins and a Chicago. Thanks to my buddy with the travel trailer chipping in for eagle on the last hole, we won many of our two man bets and most importantly the Chicago. All the players chipped in $10 to a pot so we call got some cashola back. I also won a skin with a par on a difficult par 4. All in all I must have won about $60-70 in bets.
I won some bets but played very badly. I hope to play better tomorrow… I’ll post an update tomorrow evening.
Oh, and my fantasy team this week stinks! Both my A players missed the cut as well as several of my B and C players. I have hardly any players to play…

(OK, I ripped off Jay Flemma’s idea for that intro text…) Hi friends. I’m so excited to get out of the frozen tundra here to where it’s going to be 70+ degrees and sunny!
I’m off to golf with about 16 of my closest friends in Southern Utah. We play 18 at Green Spring tomorrow, 27 at Sunbrook (they have 27) Saturday, 18-27 at St. George Golf Club Sunday and 18 at Coral Canyon on Monday.
That’s not all though! Monday after the round at Coral Canyon I hop in my car and drive to Southern California to hook up with the man, the legend: EatGolf. Eat and I will be joined by golf blog buddy Luke Swilor for a round at Moorpark CC on Tuesday at 11:04am.
Wednesday I plan on sneaking in a round of golf either in Primm Nevada or in Mesquite.
All in the name of research
