-Good article from the Washington Post on Michelle Wie, a young woman happy with her lot and with her decision to start and finish her education at Stanford while playing professional golf. The Wie Lass is playing in Thailand this week, scheduled to tee off just after noon local time on Thursday (12 hours earlier here in Loogootee). The players and the tee times here.
-The Legend of Jeremy Lin: 10 days and running. From the Today Show on NBC - shirts are selling out around the world. Since I don't follow the NBA, I only catch snippets of what's going on with Lin when they make the regular news. This morning's news clip on the Today Show was the second now in the last few days. Good stuff for the young man, and the NBA.
-Woods adds the Honda Classic to his schedule and makes it three weeks in a row that he will be playing tournament golf: next week's WGC-Match Play Championship, followed by the just added Honda Classic and then the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral. Good. In fact, terrific.
-Up in South Bend: The now #4 Irish women rebounded last night from their Sunday loss by beating Providence, 66-47. Devereaux Peters led the ND squad with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Skylar Diggins also scored 19 points and had seven assists. In this week's rankings, Baylor remains #1 followed by UCON, Stanford and then the Irish. (The Irish men also made the rankings this week, #23 in one and #25 in the other. They are the only top 25 team with a whopping 8 losses. But they have won six in a row, the first of which was that huge win over then #1 Syracuse.)
-From the Waggle Room and Emily Kay - Sexist Golf Digest letter goes viral (hey, I golfed with that guy!): Some dude wrote nasty stuff about women golfers. He now is being roundly booed by many the world round. I have run into a few golfers who have had similar sentiments but not for a while and they don't come around anymore. Would say that the golfers at Lakeview are very comfortable with players of any stripe, any gender, any age.
-See that the Loogootee boys won their game last night against Washington Catholic, 62-21. Can't have been much fun.
-No rain needed today to whisk away the snow - yesterday's way above freezing temperatures took care of what little snow there was. Now if we could get the temperatures up today...
-Hope you all had a good Valentine's Day yesterday. Diane and I went out to Stoll's Lakeview Restaurant. Had good eats and ran into several people from the neighborhood including Jerry Tredway's sister Norma Jean and also Kevin Byron. Kevin said Junior and Pam are having way too much fun down in Florida, mostly around their involvement with horseshoes. Said Junior has gone 'national' with his new passion and even won himself a tournament. He does plan to continue going to tournaments when he comes back to Indiana in a month or so. Cool beans, Junior!
-Getting on with the rest of the day. Think I'll zip over to the golf course before having breakfast with Diane.
