-Saturday Morning Scramble at 10am tomorrow.
-The Bubba shot - not all that hard. Take a look at E. Michael Johnson's article at golfdigest.com to get an explanation and to see how it's done. Then, for the righties out there, try a shot from behind or just to the right of the big oak on hole #1 at Lakeview, about 135 yards for a pin placement on the left side of the green - you'll be looking across the bridge and 'hooking' your shot to reach the green for the easy two putt par.
-Michelle Wie not playing on the weekend again. She shot 76-78 in the Lotte Championship over at her growing up course in Hawaii and missed the cut. That is the third straight for her - something not right in her life, or at least her golf game. The story from Jeff Skinner at LinksLifeGolf.com.
-More from LinksLifeGolf.com - Saturday Swing Tip: Deve Pelz 3 foot putting drill. In brief: put ten balls in a circle around a hole at three feet and putt them till you make ten in a row. If you have trouble, he goes on to tell you about a couple of putting aids that will tell you if it's your aiming or your stroking that is the problem. Note his last putt where he says he's going to show you a putt without a wobble. Dave - are you sure that ball doesn't have a wobble? (He notes that Phil Mickelson uses this drill but doesn't stop till he makes 100 in a row.)
