Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.
Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.
Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.
Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.
Watch the whole thing.
Just re-watched CBS's disaster on 18 from Sunday. Some notes.
Immelman offered no usable opinions on driver vs. 3-wood off the tee. Nantz had to coax it out of him by asking if he liked it. Of course, the likable Trevor said sweetly: "Yes I do." I can only dream of what Ken Venturi would have done in that spot. He would have been absolutely in his bag.
There was no attempt at discerning how far back Rory was once they found his drive. This is because Dottie was not in position yet (not her fault) and it was so far right. They could have guessed, but Augusta has an explicit policy for announcers to never guess where a ball might be. This rule was written for the broadcasters back in the stone ages, and needs to be ditched asap.
Trevor correctly assessed the play as not bad, with a sweeping hook over the stand of trees backing the scoreboard, but there was no estimation of how tall those trees were, or what club was needed to clear them.
Once over the ball, Trevor's only thought was keep your right foot from slipping. Okay, fine. But I wanted to know where was a good miss, and what would be a disaster. No opinion was offered.
Then, I discovered THE BIGGEST CBS fuck up of the entire hole. THE AUDIO MIX! Finally after the strike, Dottie said "8-iron, on the way."
Or at least... I *think* she did. But you could barely make it out. I had to replay it at least 5x to be sure. The gain on the crowd was too high, and the announcer mix had to fight to get through.
Again, no yardage or even estimate of yardage was given.
From that point, an agonizing 1 minute and 7 seconds elapsed before CBS showed a ball in the front bunker. But because CBS ALSO missed what happened to Cam Young's ball, there was still uncertainty.
Nantz finally offered up a meek "There's one...." when the cameras zoomed in on Rory's ball in the bunker. THERE'S ONE?? Good lord. You also had a hard time hearing it because again, the audio mix was absolute shit.
Trevor then added (insanely considering this is the 72 hole of the most famous golf tournament in the world) the following: "If that's a ball......"
IF... that's a ball (in the bunker). IF?? What the fuck are we doing fellas?
Clearly, CBS made an ugly triple here due to a variety of factors. Yes there was chaos. Yes, Rory was in uncharted parts of that hole.
But the Masters not allowing more on-foot assets (reporters/spotters) by CBS, and this idiotic edict to never "guess" where a ball is, combined with shitty audio mix, made for a terrible finale.
And while Nantz is defending his network and colleagues publicly, I am sure he's pissed in private. Hopefully, CBS goes to the green jackets and asks for more leeway on certain things to avoid this happening again the future.
As for Rory's feet blocking sight of the 2 incher to win? Meh. A cherry on top of the turd sundae. The least of things to be frustrated by.
Pinehurst, North Carolina, you have my heart! Golf, friends, and an unforgettable Spring Break and Masters Weekend - thanks, Patrick and Fitz, for the adventure of a lifetime.
Bro is on an absolute heater right now. Nothin to see here except for a 35 year old guy singing a song to his favorite Cleveland Guardians outfielder. #cleveland#guardians#clevelandguardians#mlb

My heart is full. Full of Pride, Love, Sadness & Excitement.
Dropping Caitlin off at Ohio State brought a mix of emotions today. So proud of how prepared she is for college and it may brought a tear to my eye, I am excited for her and the journey she is on. I know she is ready!
21 years now with 2 teenage kids and a world full of time and memories. Couldn’t have picked a better dance partner Megan Rose. Ready for another year of ups and downs, laughter, fun and growing old together. Happy Anniversary!

Happy Birthday to my baby girl Caitlin 18 years old. Where has time gone and how do I make it slow down? Just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital, now you are a smart, beautiful, athletic woman who is ready to conquer the world. Dream big the World is yours!
This article makes a ton of great points, and I share a ton of the same feelings. Happy for the golf explosion but tell me if I’m nuts, I miss the pre-pandemic days. Golf was cheaper, less crowded and had a higher percentage of true die-hard golfers.
DOES ANYONE ELSE WISH GOLF RETURNED TO PRE-COVID TIMES?
I’ll sound like an arrogant jerk in this article. And, well, the haters have a valid point there.
Regardless, I will press forward with my argument:
I miss pre-pandemic golf.

Kyle Manzardo is the first Cleveland hitter to slug a home run into the Allegheny River since PNC Park opened in 2001. He's the 51st player overall to do so.
