2013 Golf Season - Does it leave you scratching?

Re: 2013 Golf Season - Does it leave you scratching?

Charley Hoffman, on 18 at East Lake, just had a literally BURIED ball in the greenside bunker. He had to actually uncover the top of the ball simply to identify it as his, and by the time he grabbed a club and established his stance, was allowed to move the sand again just enough to see the top. Proceeded to double bogey.

One of the best years on tour history. 2 majors, 3 tour wins, FedEx Champ, and I'm sure player of the year. All at the age of 22.

A Minnesotan just won the US Mid-Amateur golf tournament. Winning the tournament gives that golfer an automatic invite to the Masters next year.

Sammy Schmitz never has been to the Masters. Now, after an unlikely run through the U.S. Mid-Amateur golf tournament in Vero Beach, Fla. — capped by a match-play final victory Thursday that included a hole-in-one on a par 4 — the Farmington native has earned a trip to the hallowed tournament in Augusta, Ga.

As a participant.

That’s the biggest prize that goes to the winner of the Mid-Amateur, an annual event for top U.S. amateurs ages 25 and older. Schmitz, 35, who lives in River Falls, Wis., and works in the health care industry, had qualified for match play in the Mid-Amateur two previous times but had fallen short. This time, he harbored no grand illusions after a summer of second-place finishes in local events.

“I had planned on this being the last time I’d touch a golf club until March,” Schmitz said Thursday by phone, noting that he usually plays hockey and goes to plenty of Wild games in the winter. “I’m going to have to keep my game sharp.”

Not that he’s complaining
