Things went pretty true to form at Turnberry this week as that TW fella made a huge run in a tournament he's won multiple times. TW is certainly viewed as an all-time great, but his par putt on the final hole of regulation was off and he fell in a playoff to Stewart Cink. TW was hitting fairways, drawing monster support from the gallery and flirting with golf history. Yes, we know the #1 ranked TW missed the cut and in fact it was Hall of Famer Tom Watson who danced atop the leaderboard at age 59. Here's a number. Watson moved from 1374th in the world rankings to 105! That's the single biggest one tournament jump ever, by far. He lost a shot at a 6th Claret Jug. Only the 6 green jackets Jack Nicklaus won as Master's champ would have been his equal for individual Grand Slam events by an American. The memories of 2009 will remain, but the opportunity for a man like this TW might not appear again.
My son & now daughter in law had their wedding this past Saturday at Sweet Cheeks Winery and it was a terrific event. All had a great time. It was kind of like a major with things starting slowly with a barbeque at our place for about 15 people. Then we hosted the rehearsal dinner for 44 folks on Friday with about 110 on hand for the bash on Saturday. It culminated with a brunch for 20+ on Sunday, with each event but the wedding at our place. I can't believe we survived. Incredible amount of planning, and certainly a fair level of tension. Brides and their families can get nuts when the heat is on. Thank heavens for lots & lots of wine!
