I received the Cup a couple days ago and was very excited.  I figured the best way to spend a day with the Newport Cup was on the course!

I immediately decided the University of Michigan's course would be a great place to play.  The course is located right across the street from The Big House.

There was no warming up on the practice green

Ultimately, the clubhouse staff told me to go home, take the Cup with me, and come back in May.

IMG_2447.JPG

 

Undeterred, I made the cross town trip to my "Home Course", Leslie Park Golf Course.  Things looked promising.

But then the reason for the empty parking lot became clear.

No golf at Leslie for a few more weeks.

IMG_2443.JPG

 

Still, I was optimistic.  Fox Hills remains open year round.  Surely I could play a quick nine there with the Cup.

So I settled down in the nearest snowbank and enjoyed a cold one.

Truthfully, it was a great day and The Newport Cup was a nice companion.  Yes, we got a few odd looks during our adventures.  I imagine everyone probably wanted to know how I acquired such a cool looking companion but were too embarrassed to ask.

Everyone should try to make one of the 2019 Newport Cup teams because having this little pewter trophy in your hands is worth the effort.

The NC was 2017, I got the cup Feb 2019.  There was a foot of snow and I had a broken bone in my left hand, so there wasn’t much for me to do with it and it was a bit past the point as well.

You could have still done something with it, had a little fun. You earned it.

But oh well.

Tried to do some winter disc golf but the photos just didn’t turn out very interesting.  Would have loved to take it to the indoor golf simulator or something like that.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
