Golf is Hard TV #79 – Scramble Recap
We recap the first ever Sunday Scramble and tee up the next one, coming in April. Dave pitches Heavy Putter like a guy who makes a commission.
Broken Finger
Darn you March Madness.
For the first time in maybe 20 years, I ventured out to play some pickup basketball, possibly fueled by watching March Madness.
Within a few minutes, a hard pass bounced off my right pinky finger and I knew I was in trouble. 12 hours later, I now know it’s broken (slight break) and splinted. I had big plans to get out and hit some balls this weekend, but instead, I will now be sucking on ice.
What’s the lesson here? Stick to golf people!
Welcome to spring!

Ditka
Good Morning Mike!
The name says it all, doesn’t it? Say it with me… Ditka. Ditka, Ditka.
Aside from his role in that terrible Will Ferrell film, Mike Ditka is an iconic figure that transcends football. The classic SNL parody of him is legendary, as is his secure place as one of the all-time great football coaches.
I got an e-mail from Brooke at Geneva Hospitality who asked me to blog Ditka’s upcoming annual golf tournament. This is the 2nd year of the event and all proceeds will be going to “Gridion Greats,” a charity that provides financial assistance and coordinates social services to retired NFL players in need who are pioneers of the game and have greatly contributed to the NFL’s status as the most popular sport in America.
The event is April 16th-18th in Orlando, FL. Wish I could say we’ll see you there… but we’ll probably still be digging out from more snow in CT.
Learn more about Gridiron Greats and the Mike Ditka annual golf tournament.
Golf Cart 1, Jim Leyland’s Toe 0
I was poking around some news sites today and came across this doozy of a story. Apparently, Leyland’s third base coach ran over Jim’s toe and broke it. Ouch.
In other news, we got a least a foot of snow here in CT. When will it be golf season again? I’m tired of complaining, but sheesh, enough is enough already!
