God must have had a hand in this
Where oceans meet, a golfer’s bliss
There is no more beautiful place on earth
to win or loose, to test golf’s worth
But fast and hard, the ocean course plays
A swing, a line, a bounce betrays
The Silver cup beyond their reach
Both cursed and blessed is Pebble Beach
Yet much like life, the Open goes
When dealt a card that no one knows
One must learn in life to trust their swing
And be patient for what their fate may bring...

The Changing Equation
The 2010 Masters punctuates tw0 important changes in the future chemistry of the PGA.
The first is the triumph of good over evil... which always plays well at the box office. Family man and devoted husband... and all around nice guy Phil Mickelson triumphs over Tiger (and others) in a battle of wills. His emotions in check, Phil wins with grace and a patient determination that only experience and character can provide.
The second change is one I equate with the major league baseball strike of 1994. After the strike, I wasn't as much of a fan as I was before the strike. This extents both to players and fans. Not only has Tiger's fan base diminished, his unbeatable persona has diminished as well. Players know they can beat him and this will make a huge difference in the competition level on tour.
He will set records, he will dominate... but not as before. He has, after all his indiscretions... become as mortal as the rest of us....

A New Beginning
The Masters
The year will begin
The media
will hound him
focus only on sin
It matters
Very little
His off course charade
It will not
Deter him
As history is made
