Greg has done an incredible job at Sharks Tooth, Medalist Golf Club and of course Tennessee National. They all have the same feel of natural lay of the land and not much dirt moved. Alister MacKenzie is probably my favorite old school designer, his courses are timeless. Some of the best designs in the world you will ever see, hands down!

But if you dress for the weather it's not too bad. I try to play golf once a week if I’m lucky, because I don’t like to play in the cold. But if you dress for the weather it’s not too bad.

This and last years Open were as good of chances as he may ever get. Kudos to him for sticking with the game after all these years. On a side note, Dustin Johnson may be working his way into the category of the best 20 something golfer on the PGA Tour. Many of the other guys have bigger names but it seems like Johnson is gaining more and more confidence and is looking to have a break out year.

My non family dream foursome would be Jack Nickelson, Frank Sinatra and Clint Eastwood. Can you imagine the great stories that group would have!

Growing up I didn't have a wedge and had to learn how to use the 9 iron for all shots inside 125 yards. Back then you learned how much to choke up on the club to change the distance with a full swing and how much to take off on shorter yardages. My favorite club in my 9 iron.
