Readers, another revelation has come to fruition...
It is true, time really flies by the older you get. Summer is right around the corner here in Myrtle Beach. My oldest child will be 12 in June and Annika will eligible to for Social Security this year.....
Stop the presses! a golfer retires from golf, what the *&^%$ does that mean and am I the only one that is irritated by this whole deal? First of all, Annika is only 37; second of all, she only "works" 25 weeks out of the year and lastly, no one that I ever knew retired from professional golf. The only professional golfers that left the game were those that were not good enough to make cuts and keep their card. With 3 wins in 9 events this year, Annika is still moving her old decrepit body around the golf course fairly well and is keeping up with those pesky whippersnappers in their short shorts and halter tops.
What is she going to do now? Take a job in an office working 48 hours a week like most of us? For cryin' out loud, she's already had her retirement in the first part of her life. So she wants to start a family, I can dig that as I'm a family guy. But, my wife worked until she was in her seventh month of pregnancy with all of our kids and she didn't need to retire. I heard they get pretty good medical benefits on the LPGA TOUR and the daycare is second to none. I was really looking forward to Annika and Lorena Ochoa going head to head for a couple of years and creating some much needed excitement in women's golf. Oh well, better enjoy Lorena while you can because I heard she's moving to Miami in 2 years and taking early Social Security so she can join her condo HOA board and head up the social committee. For fans looking for autograph opportunities, make sure to stop by the local Applebee's at the 4:15 for the start of the early bird special and see Lorena in the corner booth.
It's starting to heat up everywhere! Best equipment advice I can give is microfiber is now king or queen depending on your circumstance. From socks,shorts, shirts and hats, why be uncomfortable when you don't have to be? Let the moisture wick away from your body and feel fresh the entire round.
Come visit us in Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island as the the summer golf season is kicking into action with longer days and lower rates - perfect for family golf or quick getaways with the group. The off-course action is great in the summertime with the beach, bars, fishing and the new Hard Rock Park. There is always something to do at the beach. Don't forget the sunscreen!
Unlike Annika I have to get back to work. Remember, establish a personal par and play from the proper set of tees relative to your average driving distance (be honest) and you will have a lot more fun playing golf!
Don't forget to listen to the "Michelob Light Golf Guys" on Saturday mornings from 8am to 10am on 93.7 FM, 1050AM and 93.0 FM ESPN Radio The Team with yours truly, Bob Seganti, and the Legendary Matt Lincoln.

It must be true if I can write a column anyone can.........happened to be in Augusta, Georgia for that little "toon-a-mint" they have up there called The Masters and much to my surprise as I opened the complimentary issue of The Augusta Chronicle at the $325 a night Comfort Inn I was staying in, Boo Weekley is a columnist. Say what? You heard me...the new people's choice for replacing the fading John Daly presence on tour as a newspaper columnist for a respectable, ahem, newspaper. Now I know it is a fluff piece they are publishing and I know that Boo's popularity got him the gig, but I wonder why he is so popular, let's investigate.
Top Ten Reasons Fans Like Boo
1. Most folk likes either huntin' or fishin' sometimes both
2. Cammo just ain't for huntin', fishin' or dances
3. Boo reminds em of that nice boy who aint' to smart but is good people
4. Aint stuffy like them other golfers who thinks they knows everythang
5. For xamples who cares Boo aint' known that #15 at Augusta is a 5 par not a durn four par
6. Don't everybody have a young un and a baby's momma?
7. He been chewin/ since he was little, its just the way he was razed
8. Has a bo named Bubba
9. Thinks Jack, Gary and Arnie are also just real good people, regular folk if you will
10. Likes that plaid jacket they gives out at Harbourtown goes real good with just bout anythang.
In all seriousness, congratulations to Boo Weekley for winning back to back years at The Verizon Classic in of all places the great state of South Carolina. Heads up golf fans, Boo fever is spreading like heat rash on a hound dog.
Back to Myrtle Beach.........

Fashion File......No joke this time!
The two most important accessories on the golf course are a hat and sunscreen, does anyone know an avid golfer who hasn't had some skin cut off their body? Play it smart people!
