February 14
After watching my friend and colleague Wendy Uzelac of the USGA write her I hate to slice blog, I thought I would try my hand at it. It seems to be easy, but time will tell. So, I am apologizing in advance in the event I don't post on a regular basis - and during tournament season - or if they seem rather lame to start. I hope to catch on as I write my way through this.
As the Tournament Director for the Minnesota Golf Association, I hope I can provide a unique background view of conducting championship-level events for those interested. In addition, in my position I often deal with unusual rules situations that require thought beyond the normal, everyday rulings. So, if you are a "rules geek" like me, this is the (blog) spot for you! I hope you will enjoy my musings.
The attached picture is from my recent trip back out to Arizona for a USGA/PGA Rules of Golf Workshop (see, I told you I was a "rules geek"). It is 9th hole, a 202 yard par 3, at the Quintero - Founder's Course, a Rees Jones course in Peoria, AZ (about 45 minutes NW of Phoenix). Quintero is a spectacular course; well worth the drive into nowhere! Thanks to PGA Director of Golf Tom Wilcox for his gracious hospitality!
Until next time-
Doug
