Results from the Emerald Dunes Invitational

By Wayne | blog

Well, it was a fun two days of golf at a fabulous course, but my partner and I did not finish in the money. We shot 71-71 and beat a few teams, while the winners were at 65-65. It was an impressive field of players, with Senior Tour players Mike Goodes, Lonnie Nielsen and Gary Hallberg, and top flight club pros such as Darrell Kestner, Craig Thomas, Mark Brown, Frank Bensel, Mark Mielke and Danny Balin among others.   Assessing my own play, I would have to say that the event was a success on a couple of levels.

Let’s See How Gary Woodland Does With Butch

By Wayne | blog

I was reading GolfWeek and I ran across a blurb about Gary Woodland, who is now working with Butch Harmon.

I find that highly interesting in a couple of ways: first, I was under the impression that Butch really doesn’t try to change much in the players he works with.
