My favorite Golf Courses to play and Favorite Balls to use

Here are some of my favorite golf courses to play:

Shelby Oaks in Sidney: got to start with the home course. Love the South Course, especially the Par 3 3rd hole, Par 5 6th and the Par 3 8th holes. The West Course is challenging The Par 5 9th is a adventure, The par 3 7th is a short island hole and the North Course is ok.

Cherokee Hills in Bellefontaine: Have not played this course in two years, that will probably change Memorial Day weekend.

Arrowhead in Minster: played it twice.

Arrowhead in Naples Florida: like playing Shelby Oaks in Sidney

Lely Mustang in Naples Florida: Challenging, but alot of fun

Valancia in Naples Florida: Got a few challenging holes there.

Favorite Golf Balls:

Callaway Big Bertha Diablo: Great Invention by The Chevron. Great Distance

Callaway Diablo HX: A little different the the Big Bertha Diablo

Taylor Made Rocketballz: One of my personal favorites. My golf clubs love this ball.

Pinnacle Exception: One of my personal favorites My golf clubs enjoy hitting this ball.

Pinnacle Gold: Smooth distance off the club

What a fantastic last week

Wow, The Men's National Championship Game was a thriller. Louisville was the better team. Michigan gave a great effort and played with tremendous heart.

The Master's lived up to the hype once again. It was great to see Adam Scott come out on top after what happened at the Open Championship last summer.

Michigan and Louisville playing for the National Championship

I think its awesome that Michigan and Louisville are playing for The National Championship. It's actually ironic in large part because after the conclusion of the 2001 Mens College Basketball season, Denny Crum retired from Louisville, Brian Ellerbe was fired at Michigan and Rick Pitino resigned as Head Coach of the Boston Celtics in January 2001.

Pitino was offered both vacant jobs. His wife wanted him to Coach at Michigan. But his former Kentucky players wanted him back in the bluegrass state. Michigan hired Tommy Amaker, who led them to an NIT Championship in 2004 and resigned after the 2007 season and John Belien took over.

I think both of these Coaches have done an awesome job this year coaching their teams.
