Well my first Masters as an Officer of the PGA is history and what a Masters it was! Since I reported to everyone last after Friday’s round, the 80th edition of the Masters turned out to be one of the most interesting ever. The Tiger Woods debate on the drop he made Friday was a [...]
Well day three is in the books and just when you thought the Masters couldn’t create anymore drama the “Tiger drop” had the whole golf world buzzing. When I first heard about his rules infraction I was sure he would be disqualified. The initial reports did not indicate that the committee was already aware of [...]
DAY TWO AT THE MASTERS: Today Augusta National won the battle with the players. Very rarely will six under be leading the tournament after round one and still be leading at the halfway point. It rained early in the day and the winds picked up considerably in the afternoon. Bill Haas played a very solid [...]
Fantastic evening last night!! Our guest arrived and we started the week off with “caddy night”! Joe LaCava (Tiger) Fluff Cowan (Jim Furyk) Jay Haas Jr (Bill Haas).

Walked with Jay Haas and ran into Curtis Strange and ESPN’s “all everything” announcer Mike Tirico. One of the many great things about the Masters is that anybody who [...]
Billy Harmon from the Masters: For some unknown reason I am approaching this Masters with an unusual sense of memories. You see, when your father has won the Masters it seems to be “apart of you” and if you’ve ever been to Augusta National, you know this place is all about memories. In a very [...]
This past Saturday, we kicked off Miljenko “Mike” Grgich 90th Birthday Celebration in our Wine Cellar. We started the evening with hors d’oeuvres and tray passed Grgich Hill Fume Blanc while viewing his video on his incredible life story and winemaking. Chef outdid himself by pairing up culinary delights with Grgich Hills Fume Blanc, Chardonnay, [...]

The two most important aspects of putting are speed and line. To me speed is the most important because without good speed line is not important. With some quality practice [...]
