I just got a call from GolfNow.  I was their top booker in the Orlando area this past year (it helps to book for a small group of nuts just like us) and they asked me if, as a reward, I'd be available to play in a 4-some with Graeme McDowell next Wed at Lake Nona.....one of the two courses that they play the Tavistock Cup at! :banana:

I'm an absolute mess.  I'm not gonna be able to swing a club.......!

Alright, here we go..... Wow, what a day!  I was so stoked for the day, that over the last couple of days I've had to remind myself that things like this seldom really live up to the hopes and

Alright, sorry for the delay, my daughter's birthday was this past weekend and I was tied up.  I'll see if I can't fill in some of the fun stuff now...... Graeme was a lot of fun to play with.

That's awesome, congrats.  You might be nervous on the first tee but I'm sure you'll settle down and have a good round.  Make sure you give us plenty of details on how it goes.

Sweet!

Graeme's a cool guy and you'll feel at ease pretty quickly. He's as down to earth as it gets.

Take lots of pictures. For yourself and to share. :)

BTW, there's no more Tavistock Cup.

That is AWESOME!!!! I think Gmac is a cool dude and I'm sure you'll have a blast.

But leave your wallet in the car ;-)

I have to admit, when I saw the thread I expected to see a first time poster as the OP, never to be heard from again. I'm glad it"s a pot by a "real" person.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

That is pretty cool.

I enjoy playing with some of the better locals at my home course.  Watching how much better their ball striking is is very enjoyable.  I can't imagine how fun it would be to have a close up of all the shots a pro makes.

Just talked to Graeme.-Said he wasn't going to play with you until you posted a My Swing thread. Congratulations!

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

that might be the most effective seizure and migraine trigger I've ever seen....

No, the most effective is marriage...

Congrats!

Ring ring...

Would you be available to play in a foursome with GMac?

No, I gotta catch up on Dancing with the Stars.

Are you kidding me?

Time to start following him on Twitter.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.
