I was looking at the schedule for this week's golf action, and it's not bad at all. The HSBC Champions tournament in China is this weekend, and the field is awesome! This is the tournament that David Howell won last year after outlasting Tiger on Sunday. There are a lot of big names in the field again this year.

The Merril Lynch Shootout starts out the PGA Tour silly season, but it has a little intrigue this time around. Nick Faldo and Greg Norman are playing as a team, and Annika Sorenstam is teaming with Fred Couples. I'm sticking to my favorites and picking Scott Verplank and Justin Leonard, however. Anyway, I'll watch some of this event.

The Nationwide Tour Championship is this weekend, and I'll definitely catch a few hours of it over the weekend. It will be nice to see some of the future PGA Tour golfers in the process.

The LPGA Tournament of Champions is this weekend, but Annika's absence will definitely hurt that one a little. I probably won't watch any, but the field is still pretty good.

That's not a bad schedule for the silly season so-to-speak. I'll watch some of the first three but probably won't catch much LPGA.

What about everyone else? Are you guys and gals going to watch any golf this weekend, or is it officially football season in your mind now that The Tour Championship is in the books?

I'm still looking forward to the ADT Championship on the LPGA Tour. They have a daily cut there (basically) that should create some fireworks.

I'm taking this weekend off from golf, primarily. Though I'll follow the HSBC in China.

Since it looks like steady rain and cold this weekend, except when the Huskers are on I will probably watch some, not even sure which, probably not the one in China.

I have a tournament with some friends early Saturday morning, and then college football all day until Alabama plays on ESPN that evening. Then, if I haven't drowned my sorrows too much, for Sunday I might try and catch the final round of some of the events that are being televised. I like the idea of a daily cut. It could make for some interesting final pairings.

Nice avatar.

Wisconsin/Iowa? That's a cupcake game for the Badgers this season. No need in wasting your time with that one. Oh yeah, I'll be watching Oklahoma State vs. Baylor as well, so I can't say anything. As for the Nationwide guys, I believe it's on every day on The Golf Channel, but I have no idea of what time. The weather has also given me the chance to get out and play my first round since The Newport Cup. It's supposed to be 85 here today, woo!!! I hope it stays like that for a couple more days.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      70 today. The number looks good but, the course is a par 67 (5,110 yards, 64.3/115.). While the 70 took quite a few good shots to achieve, I am not counting that as shooting my age.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      Played our town’s executive course this morning. Everything is closing but for now Huron Hills remains open. #13 is shaped like an upside down backwards L (dogleg left). Only 231 yard par 4. Dogleg has a tree guarding the corner and a sand bunker guards the green for those cutting the dogleg. Tiny green. About 10 years ago or more I would try to cut the dogleg. The hole is so short that even if one tangled with the tree or was bunkered, par was likely and birdie was still on the table. Now in my 70’s, I just hit it straight and try to wedge it close for birdie. Today I screwed up and pulled my drive. I wandered around a bit when my ball was not in the bunker. Finally located it on the approach to the green. Almost chipped in and tapped in the 2 inches for birdie. Best unintentional shot of the week. 😲

      Why wouldn't it have? It's not like you were playing it as a 145yd par 5 and made a 2 or something.  Or not like it was playing 50yds to a temporary green or something either.
