Straight up: I’m picking Dustin Johnson (TaylorMade TP5x) to win the 2019 Masters.

Next week is The Masters, are you excited? I am.

Full disclosure. I bogeyed my last blog.

Though it may seem hard to believe in some parts of the world where winter seemingly won’t go away, it will soon officially be spring and that means golf season will be fully underway.

I’m happy that Matt Kuchar (Bridgestone Tour B XS) is on a roll with two wins in the 2018-19 PGA season. Is there any player on the tour that is more liked by fans than Kuch?

So what did we learn from The Match with Tiger Woods (Bridgestone Tour B XS) and Phil Mickelson (Callaway Chrome Soft X)? Well, the two can put on a show.

It’s been quiet on the PGA scene, a little too quiet, following the final tournament of the 2017-18 season, and while the new season is underway the real action doesn’t begin until the majority of the pre-eminent players start to swing their clubs in earnest in January.

Earlier this year at the pro-am event of the Sony Open at Wailaie Country Club in Hawaii, June Jones created quite a lot of guffaws because of a video that went viral of him using a five-iron for putting and golfing barefoot.

Not sure how Tiger Woods (Bridgestone Tour B XS) cranks it up in the Ryder Cup after such an emotional victory in the Tour Championship, but it will be interesting to see how he goes from pursuing an individual accomplishment to a team goal.
