Tiger's Back... and I'm Ready for a Hybrid - Finally!

Do you think the Television Network "suits" are thrilled to have Tiger back? Take a look at the PGA ratings lately for the answer. I've watched a little golf in the last month... more than anything, just to see some green grass!!! Geez, this has been a long winter! And my week in Grand Cayman didn't help all that much. It's like a massage... feels sooooo good while it's happening but the glow wears off in a couple hours. 

I digress.  How many times have you looked at a leader board during Tiger's layoff and wonder if they put the Nationwide Tour stats up by mistake? Good Lord, I've seen leader boards with ONE name that I recognize. Yeah, they're all great golfers, but ya gotta be a purist to appreciate them. I'm really looking forward to the match play with Tiger and the top Europeans in the field this weekend!

And, speaking of purists, I'm one - albeit a high handicap one. I've resisted going the hybrid route until now. But, I've finally seen the light. (Translation: I've finally come to grips with the fact that, to paraphrase a CaddyShack line, I'm not good!)  OK, so I CAN'T hit a 3 Iron. I'm going to break out just one hybrid to replace the 3 & 4 this spring. That damned 190 to 200 yard shot has been killing me.

 There's a certain friend who will laugh hysterically upon reading this. He's been chiding me for 3 years now and would get so irritated at my stubborn resistance. 

Cheers,

Dick
