favorites: dustin johnson - i can't really pin down why i like DJ so much, but he's always the guy i'm rooting for in the majors fred couples - love love love his swing. ken duke - a fellow arkansan. a couple of guys i know have met...

78 today on the same par 70 course i played yesterday, so a 1-stroke improvement.  had a pretty rough front nine and made the turn at +7, but then played the next 7 holes at 2-under par.  got to the 17th, blocked a drive...
