PGA Colonial Golf

Jason Dufner hits on the eighth fairway

  When I was a kid, I thought that golfers were either really stodgy business men who never dressed down  or really goofy clowns. The stodgy ones wore the slacks and collared shirts in some color that they would not wear to work. The clowns got to wear those bloomed out knickers and funky hats, crazy plaids and seemed to have all the fun. Over the years I get the impression that the PGA game has gotten a bit more conservative, example of Jason Dufner who leads the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. The other extreme is this group of young players that are looking for the brightest, wildest colors. It is like they are trying to stand out in a crowd like the beer guys at a ball game. In a gallery of the generic folks, Rickie Fowler in Friday's outfit sure fits the later billing.

Track Day

Justin Moore holds a tight line.

  Spent the morning watching a motorcycle track day session at the Motorsports Ranch in Cresson, Texas.  Everything from full out racers to a couple of guys on day touring BMW's taking laps of the 1.7 mile long upper course of the club facility. If it were not for the inevitable falling down part, I would love to join them and learn to ride just a little faster. Really makes you respect the skills of the guys like Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi on the Moto GP bikes. Oh how much there is to learn. It was fun watching  kite boarding buddy Justin Moore in a different environment with his Suzuki GSX-R on the track.
