Thanks to the Arnold Palmer Invitational being in my backyard (if you call a 15 minute drive a "backyard"), my passion for golf and graphs have led me to create this blog.
I have scoured the internet trying to find more bloggers out there that had a passion for golf and graphing and couldn't find one. So, here's my attempt...
I spent Wednesday at the Pro-Am and had a fabulous day at the course getting graphs. I started a Ryder Cup 2008 team photo at the Honda Classic (got Justin Leonard, Boo, JB, and Stewart Cink at that tournament) and got more guys for my Ryder Cup photo (Curtis, Mahan, Perry, Furyk, Campbell). I also got more guys for my Titleist ad (Harrington and Gamez), Furyk for my Cleveland ad (only need Stenson to finish that bad boy) and a ton of magazines and/or magazine ads. I also got a hockey puck of Bobby Orr for Steve and the nicest Derek Lowe graph ever. The Lowe still looks ugly but it is by far the nicest D-Lowe scribble I've seen and I've been following him since he was a Mariners prospect back in the day.
Disappointment of the day was finding out that Anthony Kim and Paul Azinger both withdrew. Wanted them on my Ryder Cup photo as well.
As for the host of the tournament, Arnie? We followed him for a couple of holes but he wasn't signing much. A friend of my buddy walked with him all 18 holes to try and get his photo signed. The result? Nada.
