A stunningly beautiful day at Augusta National! I must admit that I thought the scores would have been a tad lower. I thought the lead would move to eight under but they had some very sporty pin placements and still kept the players on the defense. Still a terrific leaderboard with major winners, Rose, Spieth […]
Bill Harmon on the Masters 2017 – Day #3
Very, very interesting two days of golf are in the books for the 2017 Masters. From my perspective the first of the story lines is the weather and the Masters competition committee. With the forecast of 20+mph winds and gust to 40+, the committee had a very daunting task in setting up the course. The […]
Bill Harmon on the Masters 2017 – Day #2
Wow! Maybe my most memorable day ever at The Masters. I’m not sure how I will be able to capture it all, but I’ll try. The day started with an hour conversation with one of the greatest minds in golf, Peter Cowen and Jay Haas. Peter was recently featured in a Golf Digest article and […]
Bill Harmon On The Masters 2017 – Day #1
Nice first day at The Masters. As always they have made major changes to the facility, new parking, new entrance and a very big, permanent media center. As usual, it all looks beautiful! I spent about an hour on the range with Webb Simpson. I started working with Webb right before the Phoenix Open and […]
Bill Harmon , Random Thoughts ~ September 26, 2016
It’s been quite some time since I’ve checked in. I figured by now most would be sick of my “story” but I’ve had many tell me I need to send the “final journal”. I’ll do the “random thoughts” format. My great friend Jon Kelly was on his way home from a business trip in Alabama […]

On some levels, I feel I have to apologize for my last journal. I knew when I sent it that it could be construed as being a whiner, a victim and ungrateful for all the things I have going for me: MDA, the doctors, my family and literally the hundreds of people supporting me. I […]

Well…..today I had my first proton radiation treatment. I’m finally embarking on the journey that created so much fear and depression. I still am very apprehensive about the future side effects. I’ve heard all the possibilities, many times over. I realize that the next 3 months will be difficult. What I “fear” the most will […]

Now it’s onto radiation. This was the part of my treatment I most feared; still have some healthy reservations I might add. I don’t fear radiation per se; I fear how I’m going to react to all the side effects. Last Friday, I went to an hour long class on what to expect from radiation. […]

Getting thru the chemo cycle was a great learning process for me. It seems like 10 years ago I was diagnosed with tongue cancer……10 years emotionally and spiritually. I have never experienced as much emotional upheaval in such a short period of time. Conversely, my spiritual “tool box” has never been this busy and this […]
Bill Harmon, Random Thoughts ~ June 27, 2016
Went back to the scene of my lowest point during my depression, the radiology wing of MDA. I was in a considerably better place this time, but it’s definitely “different” in this department. First of all, it seems like it’s in the bowels of the building, no windows and poor lighting; seems “dark”. First I […]
