*** DANNY LEE and TIGER . . . The same header as last month
It was terific to see Danny Lee a Kiwi amateur from down under,
teeing off at the MASTERS.
The media attention for Danny would have been incredible, being
also the winner of the US Amateur Championship, and what was more,
. . . at a younger age than . . . Tiger Woods.
In the background would also have been his decision to turn
professional immediately after the Masters, and the offers that
were on the table for his consideration.
Danny was invited to stay at the "CROWS NEST" as all amateurs are,
and to ascend the steps of many great golfers before him, including
one Tiger Woods. (Having just taken the "youngest ever" US Open
amateur title OFF the MOST famous player).
It was a shame Danny didn't make the cut . . . New Zealand felt
for Danny, however, I am sure he will make us proud in the
future. Well Done Danny . . . you have GoforGOLF's support.
. . .
The Tiger & Phil show . . .
What an 18 holes. I didn't see it all, but, did see some terrific
golf.
One of the top head on head challenges you will ever see.
. . .
The final three . . . Perry, Campbell and Cabrera
What an incredible story.
Perry bogies that last 2 holes.
Three in the play off
Campbell strays and is out.
The second play off hole . . .
Two great tee shots
Kenny Perry miss hits the approach . . . ball above his feet . . . ?
Cabrera hits the green.
Perry couldn't recover . . . Well Done Angel Cabrera . . .
Sorry the Newsletter is a bit late this month . . . reread the
above, and you will realise why . . . cheers and regards
. . . . . .
I do invite and encourage you to send me your views on events,
or on my comments . . . email . . . greg@goforgolf.com
