Walking with Friends

It was a great week in Charlotte, one of my favorite events of the year. Didn't score as well as I would have liked on the weekend but another great week of forward progress. Now I'm in Ponte Vedra, Florida for The Players. We rented a condo on the beach this week… my Dad, Coach, and Sports Psychologist are all staying with me. The whole team is here.

Also wanted to give a shout-out to my good friend DJ Gregory. This is the day of his book release, Walking with Friends: An Inspirational Year on the PGA Tour . If you are a fan of golf you have probably heard his inspirational story. He has become a great friend and just wanted to say that I am really proud of you buddy!

New Orleans

Having a great week in New Orleans. I always look forward to being back here. The food is amazing and the people are so welcoming. Had the chance to check out the French Quarter Festival on Sunday. Got to watch a great local band called Trombone Shorty and ate some awesome New Orleans food. Yesterday I got paired with Chef Emeril Lagasse in the Pro Am. Great guy - our group had blast. Last night I went to Emeril's for a Zurich Classic Dinner. Had one of the best meals I have ever had. Excited for Acme Oyster House tonight...look forward to those Charbroiled Oysters all year long. Must be all the good food, because the game is really starting to come together. Loving the new driver that the Titleist guys put together for me.

Spring Training in Scottsdale

Hey there, I just got back from my first spring training game in Scottsdale. Its crazy that I live here and every year manage to be traveling and miss out on this great attraction in AZ. It was such an awesome atmosphere. Kind of like being at a mini version of a pro stadium. I checked out the Giants vs. Padres game at the Scottsdale Stadium in Oldtown Scottsdale. The whole place was packed and everyone seemed to be taking in the sunny Saturday afternoon in AZ. Special thanks to my friends at the Giants for an awesome day!

now its back to work...

Sun Valley

Hey yardbarkers, I just got back from a ski trip to Sun Valley, ID with my in-laws. Hitting the freshly powdered slopes was just the vacation I needed. Thanks to Oakley for getting me all set to for the mountain. Loved the new goggles! Now its back to practice before I head to Tampa for the Transitions Championship.

West Coast Swing

I just finished the West Coast Swing. As much as I love this part of the Tour, it's nice to be done. It was particularly crazy this year because of the media attention that came with playing basketball with President Barack Obama, as well as the great group of friends and family that came out to these past six events.

Last week was my first time to play in Los Angeles at the Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club. It was a great event at one of the best venues in golf. I wasn't able to make the cut, but I made four more birdies in the last event of "Birdies for Juniors." That brought the total to 68 birdies, which means $6,800 for the Hawai'i State Junior Golf Association from Waikoloa Beach Resort and myself. Thanks to everyone who has followed the project and supported us. Hopefully next year's "Birdies for Juniors" can be even bigger and better.

Originally, I'd planned on playing this week's event in Mexico. But after playing four weeks in a row and looking ahead to the rest of the season, I decided it was better to take a few weeks off, and get rested and recharged. For most of the next few weeks, I'll be home with my wife, Kristy, in Scottsdale. Since mid Dec I've only been home one weekend, so it will be nice to be here and sleep in my own bed.

I'm looking forward to catching up with you all again at the Transitions Championship!
