I got an e-mail this morning about this tournament taking place at my favorite area course a few weeks from now. A $100 entry fee takes care of greens fees ($70 for a typical weekend tee time), a dozen Callaway Tour IX balls, and a subscription to Golf magazine. A pretty decent bundle, if you ask me.

The problem? It's a two-man best-ball tournament, and I don't have any regular golfing buddies to make a twosome out of. Sigh...

The course I'm talking about is Woodmont in Canton, but North Fulton is hosting its own qualifier on June 20.

Woodmont is a nice track... I would have joined you, but I have not played yet this year. Sad I know. Every time I can make some time it is freaking raining. :(

I second Woodmont being a great track. It's the only RTJ Jr. course in Georgia. If it wasn't so far North of Atlanta, I would play it more often. But have loved it the few times I get up that way.

Post your name/number in the pro shop and let the guys know you are looking for a second. You can't possibly be the only person in this position.

      Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
