Our Season May be Over . . . but Golf Goes On
This Week the CME Group Tour Championship
Held at the Ritz Carlton Golf Resort
6556 Yards Par 72
Naples FL
The Defending Champion is Amy Yang
This is the season ending event for the LPGA and will include a million dollar bonus for the “Season-long Race to the CME Globe” . . . which can be but isn’t always the same person. The tournament winner gets $4 million so if a golfer can pull off both . . . they will have a very happy caddie.
FUN FACT: In the 13 years of this tournament, there have only been two winners from the U.S. and only one from Europe. And in the “Race” there have been two from the U.S. and none from Europe. Although I think just maybe . . . the U.S. will get another this year.
No Picks This Week so . . .
Something Different
Our yearly competition is over but I didn’t feel like waiting for the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January. Golf is now a year round thing because you know . . . money. Even if we aren’t putting in our picks I am willing to go on building threads because . . . I’m a nice guy . . .
So what are we going to talk about? And since I am the guy who makes the drinks, the first one is on me, after that feel free to put in your order. Below is an article that was published almost 20 years ago. It has stuck with me and I have gone back to re-read it every so often. I recommend it. Let me know what you think.

Future weeks are on you . . . Give me something you find compelling enough to share with everyone in the TH. I’ll link it in a thread and it will give us something to discuss. So . . . you all have homework !!!!
