Posting has been a little light lately. But some times real life takes over and the extracurricular activities have to take a back seat. I think ( hope ) things have slowed down enough that some sort of regular posting can resume. But I’m not guaranteeing anything.
Anyway. To catch up:
Dustin Johnson won the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am this weekend. He won last year too. So good for him with the back to back wins. However, the really important thing, as far as The Household was concerned, was that David Duval tied for second. And actually there was a 3 way play off. So David had his chance at winning outright. I have mentioned before that we are very fond of David here in The Household, so we were very happy to see him do so well. We actually watched the entire final round, which we normally wouldn’t have done. But we really like seeing David do good. We hope this is just the start of a wonderful year.
Ping and the USGA met in Dallas on February 10th, and came to no decision. So the groove issue lives on.
New LPGA Commisioner Michael Whan hired PGA Tour executive Jon Podany as the LPGA’s chief marketing officer. Seems like a smart move, although time will tell. But maybe Mr. Whan will work out after all.
In other LPGA news, Michelle Wie signed an endorsement deal with Kia Motors and, perhaps more importantly, Kia has signed on as title sponsor for the tournament previously known as The LPGA Classic, which will be played March 25-28 at La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California.
The Ladies first tournament of the year is this weekend. In Thailand. Coverage will be on The Golf Channel.
The Olympics started in Vancouver. We have been watching. The Golfer and I were upstairs, watching skiing and Nordic Combined ( which resulted in a little conundrum, more on that in another post ) and speed skating and Biathlon. Golfing Offspring #2 was downstairs watching the opening ceremonies and pairs figure skating. All I can say is, for the overall peace and well being of The Household at times like this, it’s a darn good thing that we have 2 TV’s hooked up to 2 different Tivo’s.
Unlike Vancouver ( and like the rest of the US ) we have had snow. Which means there hasn’t been any golf around here for awhile. Tempers are growing short. High School Girls Golf supposedly starts for Golfing Offspring #2 next week. I doubt it. Which will fray tempers even more.
And last, but certainly not least, Westminster starts tonight. Actually it started before tonight, but the TV coverage starts tonight. I, of course, checked the standings out in the Canine Chronicle and have been monitoring breed judging all day on the website. I have discussed my absolute fascination with Westminster before. I will be watching every minute. Which of course will cut into the Olympics. If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times, Thank God for Tivo.

Positive thinking won't let you do anything but it will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.
