Hello again golf fans!

I played last week in the Justin Timberlake Shriners for Childrens Hospital Open in the city that never sleeps — Las Vegas!

The weather was a bit on the hot side for me, but nonetheless very consistent and perfect golfing weather. The golf course at the TPC in Summerlin was yielding very low scores for the week. The cut fell at 6-under par!  I can’t remember a tournament all year long that the cut has been that low! With driveable par 4’s and all par 5’s reachable in two, the golf course had plenty of birdie opportunities.

I saw Justin Timberlake on Monday in the pro-am paired up with none other than John Daly, of course. Watched Justin hit some shots on the range and was very amused at the number of  “hossle rockets” and “chili peppers” he was hitting up Lee Janzen’s rear! Butch Harmon had his hands full with this kid, for sure!

Thursday’s round for me was filled with lots of birdies, bogeys and an eagle in there somewhere. A 66 and setting right on the cut line once again! Day two was similar to the first with birdies, bogeys and yes, another eagle! A round of 70 put me clear of the cut number by two shots.

Shacking up at the Luxor for the week was a fun and interesting experience! Got into the elevator to head up to my room Sunday night, and I almost fell down due to the slant of the pyramid-style hotel! Thought I saw Elvis mingling around the casino a time or two, but they were fake!  Went to the “Bodies Exhibit” at the Luxor to check out dead bodies and what makes us tick inside.

Had a sweet Audi SUV for the week that was rockin’ Elvis tunes on Sirius 13! Saw an improv comedy show on Friday night that was hilarious!

Missing home with the cool 50- and 60-degree temps, the leaves changing colors and deer season, for sure! Off to Scottsdale for next week and then Florida for two more tournaments for the conclusion of the 2008 season on tour.

Wish me luck and stay tuned for more stories of the grind!

Good day…
