Augusta National and the Masters is less than 2 weeks away. If I had to guess most every player in the field is working on their game, fine-tuning it for those four magical days at the Bobby Jones designed course in Augusta. I also imagine many of you are getting your games in shape for the upcoming golf season. A principle that I think could help you get ready for this season is called the SAID principle. Probably the question that first comes to your mind is the title. What in the $%@%@# does SAID mean and what is it relevance ...

Match Play this week at La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, CA. Quite a different tournament than your norm on the PGA Tour. This tournament matches the 64th player in the world against the number one player, Tiger Woods. The 2nd ranked player in the world, Vijay Singh, against the 63rd ranked player in the world, so on and so forth. This tournament is not necessarily about making birdies, eagles, or pars, but rather about beating your opponent in a head-to-head round of golf. The winner advances to the next round (similar to “March Madness” which is just around the corner). ...
