I couldn’t hold back the tears as I watched Jack Nicklaus’ last professional competitive round this morning. Above is Jack’s last tee shot on 18 at St. Andrews. He ripped one down the middle 300+. (The ball just goes too far eh?)
This shot Jack paused to wave goodbye to the audience, and to his competitive career. He also had Tom Watson, Luke Donald, his son Steve and the respective caddies join in for a photo opp. Just imagine being in that historic group picture.
Here Jack is waving to the crowd just after MAKING BIRDIE on his last hole. Just plain wow.
I may have an opportunity to meet Jack in about 2-3 weeks. I’ll do whatever I can to make that happen. A report will follow.
My slogan for HOGB is “Golf, life. (in that order).” This post is in the “life” category. I took some time off last week and went about 3.5 hours south of home to Southern Utah. I didn’t bring my clubs. If you’ve never been to Southern Utah, you are missing out on some of the most amazing terrain in the world. This terrain is called “Red Rock Country.”
The first photo is of “Double Arch” at Arches National Park. Arches is my favorite place in the world. (Haven’t been to Augusta yet). When I go to Arches, I am humbled and constantly saying “oooohh, look at that.”

Since changing to my own URL and severs from blogger a few months ago, my google page rank was zero. It was at a 5 before I switched. The higher the rank, the better. Google is a 10.
So all the sudden tonight my new site location has gotten a page rank, and bam…it’s a 5 (which is good, very good).
From google: “Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search…”
Google is apparently in the midst of updating page ranks. The Sand Trap was not rated either recently and now also is at a 5. (pat on the back ST)…
Golf Digest has a list of the best and worst golf cities. My town isn’t in either list. They don’t know how good and cheap it is to play here….ssshhhh, don’t tell anyone!
My pick for this year’s British is at -6 (Tiger). He’s in the lead. I just love watching the Open and all the neat shotmaking that is required. I love seeing all the low ground game that we don’t see in the states. I’d like to see more links style golf here…
Memo to TNT about their golf coverage:
LESS TALK, MORE GOLF.
