Wishes for 2009

[PEZGolf]

Here is my short list, with the golf topics first:

1. You will improve in golf.

2. The golf tours will become better, and the shake-up caused by the severe recession will help in that effort. The Fed Ex playoffs need more work. The LPGA is barely treading water, and now Annika is gone. The women will have fewer tournaments and smaller purses. The post-Fed Ex schedule for the men has been reduced from 7 to 5 tournaments. Does anyone care?

3. Boo Weekley, Ian Poulter, Camillo Villegas, and JB Holmes will continue to add color to the bland boys of the PGA Tour.

4. Paula will win her first major and Natalie will win again.

5. St. Lawrence University's women's golf team will return to the Nationals and improve on their 15th place finish (my son is the Assistant Coach and I know Melissa Snizek, who is a freshman star on the team). Go, Saints!

6. I will learn humility, when appropriate, and learn to shut up before "putting my foot in my mouth".

7. This golf forum will continue to be "the best that is out there" (and I am serious about that, fans!).

enjoy every minute on the golf course.

enjoy every minute on the golf course.

You have the right attitude. Golf on a sunny day, alone or with family or friends is truly the "Greatest Game of All", as Jack entitled one of his books.

2. Peace on Earth
3. both 1 and 2, seems like #1 holds back #2 though.....

1. Stop the .001% from robbing the 99.999%

I know what you mean about #5. My son has had two aces, and I have none. He is 27 years old, and I am 60. The world of golf is not fair. Actually, I am proud of him. I witnessed his first, when he was 15. His second was in a college tournament at Middlebury, Vermont, and I had the pleasure of writing an article about it. I hope you or someone in your family "breaks the ice" and gets an ace in 2009.

That our child due in April is healthy, that his older brother is as loving to him as he is to everyone else, and that my wife and I make it through in better shape than we did the first time. Oh, and maybe that there is still a little time for golf.

Good wishes. The best to you, your wife, your new baby, and your son. You are right--family first, and if there is time, then golf.

1. S&P; 500 to hit 2000.
2. S&P; 500 to hit 2000.
3. S&P; 500 to hit 2000.

Well you said wish, right?

To keep spending time with my great family, get healthy, and not take things too seriously.

Thanks, maybe 2009. Obviously lots of close calls like anyone else who has not got a hole in one, my oldest son (11) will probably beat me to it, he already can routinely shoot lower (playing from the blues) on the 9 hole exec course we play.

I hope you the best, and if there's golf time I hope you take advantage and just enjoy it also I hope you score low congratulations.

That the economy in my state get's better the auto industry starts to improve and that I can play well, but most of all my family stay's healthy and safe.
