Lakeview League Preseason Scramble Information
Bits and Pieces
-Brent Kelley at about.com talks about PowerPlay Golf. Nine holes of golf, two pins on each green (one an easy setting, one a more difficult placement), stableford scoring with the requirement that you must go for the hard pin on three greens during the first eight holes and have the option of doing so on the ninth. Something being touted as a way to increase golf play and interest. My opinion: Just another golf game with an added stick to complicate things. Lots of golfers (especially league golfers) in this area already play just nine holes and don't have any trouble picking out a game to play in the process. Go take a peek; you're even given a chance to vote on what you think - majority are voting for 'just regular golf'.
-Very interesting and enjoyable Words from the Wise in the March 28th issue of Golf World. The wise, in this case, include Jack Burke Jr, Dan Jenkins, Peter Alliss, Judy Rankin, Dean Beman and Bill Coore, William C. (Bill) Campbell. Some of the 'nuggets' are excerpted here at the online site. For instance, Dan Jenkins, author and sportswriter:

I can't see why I'm supposed to like it that every 90-pound weakling can now drive the ball 310 yards, find no rough anywhere he plays and, due to superior maintenance, make 10-footers like he used to make two-footers. A pro named David Ogrin once described me so accurately, saying I'm a "hostile voice from a previous generation." Well, somebody has to be.

Bits and Pieces
-At the Ladies first major, the Kraft Nabisco: The Wie Lass tees it up with the Pink Panther tomorrow at 1:26pm on the 10th tee. All the pairings here. Yani Tseng is the defending champion.
-#2 Texas A&M beat #1 Baylor and #1 UConn smashed #2 Duke last night to fill out the final four in the women's big dance. On Sunday evening, ND plays UConn for the fourth time this year in the first game while Stanford battles Texas A&M in the second game. Two #2's taking on two #1's. Here's to the underdogs taking the top dogs down and meeting on Tuesday night for the championship.
-Go Butler.
-Today's weather sucks. Not snowing though. Really should get back to those IRS documents that need completing within a couple of weeks, but that doesn't appeal at all. Maybe tomorrow.

Bits and Pieces
-Watched the Notre Dame Ladies sock it to the #1 seeded Tennessee Ladies last night, beating the Vols for the first time ever (after 20 losses) and punching their ticket to the Final Four in Indy next week (Sunday and Tuesday). Skylar Diggins, the super soph for the Irish, was the star of the show, scoring 24 points and playing super all around. More on her in this article by espn's Graham Hays.
-Stanford also is going to the Final Four, for the fourth straight year. They beat Gonzaga last night to advance. Tonight, UConn plays Duke and Baylor takes on Texas A&M for the other two slots.
-There was a Woods who won a tournament this past weekend. That would be Tiger's niece, Cheyenne, who helped her Wake Forest University teammates win a tournament being played in North Carolina. The story from Emily Kay.
-Wonder if Phil Mickelson has a better chance of winning this year's Masters than does Tiger? He is the guy with the green jacket afterall. Betting odds?
-Eric down with son Lucas yesterday afternoon cutting tees, collars and greens, and repairing some of the bad spots on the greens. Mentioned that we really do need some rain. Maybe some today, later.
-Remember the first part of April last year? Days with temperatures in the 70's. Looking for more of the same, please.

Bits and Pieces
-Congrats to the Washington Hatchets and their second straight state championship in boys basketball. The Zeller era was nothing but spectacular. Too bad Cody's brother Tyler's team, North Carolina, bowed out of the Big Dance with their loss to KY yesterday. And congrats to the Indy Metro team for their state championship in 1A; they knocked off the Cougars of North Daviess just nine days ago in their run to the title.
-On the Big Dance: Down to one team in the guess em Romper Stomper group - UConn. But I definitely want Butler to win next Saturday and then again on Monday. Btw, a great quartet of games over the weekend. Love the fact that all the #1's and all the #2's have been excused; love the fact that two 'who-are-these-guys' teams made it all the way to the Final Four; and love the fact that Butler, one of those two teams, is there for the second year in a row. Our topsy-turvy world.
-And, speaking of topsy-turvy worlds: Tiger and Phil completed the Bay Hill portion of their Masters preparation by firing four day totals of -1, seven strokes behind the winning score and in a tie for 24th place. With any kind of consistency, either one of those guys, along with a host of other golfers, could have won down at Arnie's tournament as the top position was open for the taking yesterday. As Johnny Miller said, lots of oil being leaked on the way to the 18th hole yesterday. Martin Laird started the day on top, fell out of contention and then found himself back on top at the end. Surprised, Martin? Bet he was.
-On the ladies side, out at the KIA Classic: Sandra Gal used a two foot birdie putt at the final hole to take the trophy with a final score of -16. Jiyai Shin missed a five foot birdie putt to open the door for Gal. Michelle Wie had herself a good Sunday, a three under 70, and finished in a tie for 7th place. The LPGA has their first major this week, the Kraft Nabisco Championship at Mission Hills.
-At Lakeview: Getting ready for the start of League season. Believe it or not, we have our first preseason scramble next week. Do not expect next Sunday's daybreak to be one with two inches of fresh snow on the ground (like what we found yesterday). Sunny and near 50 today; that sounds good enough to golf, at least a little bit.

Bits and Pieces
-At the Big Dance: How sweet those Bulldogs are! Don't expect there were too many people out there thinking they were going to pull it out until they pulled it out. And that would be only when time ran out. What a story these guys are! Go, Blue!
-Btw, the Irish women took it to Oklahoma yesterday, 78-53. Take on #1 Tennessee tomorrow.
-Got to watch Tiger screw it up yesterday in a round of 74 that made his scorecard look like a rainbow (white, red, purple, green and yellow). Jeesh. He heads into day four at Bay Hill tied for 29th at -1, ten strokes behind Martin Laird. If it's any consolation, he's just one back of Phil Mickelson. TW tees off at 10:35 this morning which means we might get to see him finish his round when tv coverage starts.
-Did you catch Spencer Levin's lack of emotional control late in his round when one of his tee shots went awry? Some serious rage there. Expect he will address that in the next month or two and become a much better player for it. Just needing a little maturity...
-At the Kia Classic: Jiyai Shin And Sandra Gal running away from everybody else at -15 and -14 after three rounds. Na Yeon Choi, after an eight under Saturday, is lurking five back. Michelle Wie is ten back after a five birdie, three bogey third round. World's #1 lady golfer, Yani Tseng, is tied for 14th at -3.
-Here in Loogootee: Sunny skies, cool temps and two inches of snow on the ground. Glad I got to play a bit of golf yesterday.
