Hey Everyone,

Greetings from Hilton Head! I flew down this morning on a 6:00 a.m. flight. It's not a fun alarm clock, but waking up for flights and golf is always good. Flights to play golf are the best.

I didn’t get to watch much of The Masters, but of course, I saw the McIlroy disaster on the final four holes. It’s just extraordinary what this place does to him.

I wrote about Augusta National and players with past scars. It seems harder to win when a player has experienced a bad loss, and Rory continues to validate this theory.

As a Rory fan, I am buoyed by the fact that he’s four shots outside of second place. But considering one player in second place is Scottie Scheffler, it seems less and less likely that McIlory can shoot 10-under par (probably the winning score?) over the next 54 holes.

That’s it for Masters talk…

Let’s talk about golf trips.

Just book one. Seriously, stop threatening to book a trip and Just. Book. A. Trip.

I am down here for a trip organized by The Golf Trip Guys. It’s a collection of strangers and friends, and watching them hang out today on and off the course has been a blast. Just a bunch of people who enjoy golf and signed up with a friend to spend three days together playing golf.

That’s all I’ve got for today.
