Posted September 6, 200420 yr comment_55494 Well this past week has absolutely been the best week of my life. As most of you know i competed in the 1st tee open at Pebble Beach with the Champions tour. I was paired with Leonard Thompson and fired 69-68 and missed the cut by one. On monday I played with 10-time pga tour champ Mark McCumber, and it was incredible. We played out at Bayonet and I was playing well and shot 73, but Mark did not miss a single shot and fired 65 at one of the hardest tracks around, with a 5-under 31 on the back. He was playing a Tour r7 with the silver/orange accra, 14* v-steel,19* rescue, Taylormade Lt's, rossa putter. On Wednesday I played with Gil Morgan and he was struggling, dont know what he shot but he bounced after 9 holes. All I remember was he hitting an XD. He was a real nice guy, and fun to play with. I also chatted with the Heavy Putter Rep, and if you have not heard of these putters, they are the future. By far the best performing putter made. On thursday i played a practice round at Pebble and while i was hitting balls at the range, my shaft on my driver snaped during my swing, and my TP head went flying about 100 yards down the range in front of countless hall of fame golfers, it was so embarrasing. So leonard Thompson's caddie brought me over to the Taylor Made van and introduced me to the guys in their and built me a brand spanking new tour DF with shaft of my choice in 15 minutes, and a couple tour hats. So i made my way to the first tee with a brand new tour driver and a savage hat. I went out with 5 birdies on the front 9 (#2,4,6,7,9) to shot 32, and and shot 41 on the back for another 73, my forst look at Pebble. During the tournament I played with horrible tee times and missed TV coverage, but got to be pretty good buddies with Leonard Thompson which was pretty cool. I did an interview with the golf channel that was aired on the golf channel on Wednesday night, I did not have a chance to watch it but i got a few phone calls letting me know it was aired. I signed the first autographs of my golf career, and there are plenty more to come. I also hit it off with Paula Creamer pretty well, so there might be a non-golf related relationship in the near future if you know what i mean. If i can transfer some photos to digital i'll try to post them. Also all the range balls were brand new Prov1 x's & 332's, it was incredible, and yes i did put a couple buckets in my car. :whistle:
