If you didn’t have the itch already, youshould now. The Master’s just past whichmeans Canadians across the land weredoing the living room club waggle. Not sureif this practice actually improves resultscome spring time, but I figure it can’t hurt.I’m excited for my second season in the ProShop and fourth at the Dunes. The shop isall set and ready to go for another seasonwith lots of great product. At least I think it’sall great as Jackie and I picked it out. I’ll behonest; there are a few items that I cringedat when I opened the box.

Once again we have many of the samegreat staff returning this season with a fewgreat additions. These great people help tomake my summers more enjoyable andhelp me get out and enjoy our great coursemore often.

I am excited to see everyone again andcan’t wait to get going. I can’t wait to stepto the first tee with my confidence as highas can be. Take the club back nice and slowand then pray that it all goes well fromthere.
