If you love golf you always head into Masters week thinking it should be a great week, and golf season is here.

I left Masters week thinking it wasn’t a great week, and golf season left town for the winter here in Chicago as snow fell for two straight days at the ball park.

When Rory McIlroy made a hole-in-one on Monday, it was easy to think the fireworks had started for a great week.

Not much happened on Tuesday, but again there was a slew of Hole-in Ones on Wednesday in the Par-3 Contest. In fact nine of them including two of them on back-to-back shots. Now I’m thinking here comes an incredible Masters. Then sizzle turned into fizzle, as in fizzled out.

masters update

Masters.com for a final wrap up.

We all knew Arnold Palmer would not hit a tee shot on Thursday, that was no surprise. But then the professionals had trouble hitting tee shots as well, at least ones that found fairways.There was no shortage of missed two foot putters either.

Defending Champion Jordan Spieth had the championship in his pocket for 64 holes, then he didn’t making a Quad-Bogey 7 on the Par 3-12th in the heart of Amen Corner. Spieth then ended up finishing T-2 with Lee Westwood, who still hasn’t won a major.

Danny Willett (who you ask) did win, yes Danny Willett from England became the third player in six years to win the Masters in their second visit to Augusta, along with Spieth and Charl Schwartzel in 2011. Actually for those of you who don’t know Willett, he just made it in the field, but in the last couple of years has turned in several good finishes at the bigger tournaments.

Still your asking, Danny Who ! OKAY, I get it. You didn’t have Willett in your pool and after getting your tail kicked in the NCAA Men’s hoops pool, you were looking for some redemption at the Masters.

Well I won my NCAA hoops pool and I was still looking for another win at the Masters. Hello Bubba and Hello Rory. Only McIlroy could make seven birdies in the final round and never see red numbers on Sunday, after being in 2nd place at the start of Saturday.

First up congrats to Willett on the win and Green Jacket. Plus now likely a birth on the Olympic team and a Ryder Cup team as well.

Danny Willett, I know you think he is the Danny from Caddyshack and he finally grew up, that Danny right ? Um No ! not him either.

What happened to all the guys who were supposed to win ? Well most of them didn’t show up looking ready to win, and played more like they were ready to go home by Friday. Yes that old saying on Friday night about the tournament being at the airport has some merit here, and no not Troy Merritt because he made the cut and played well.

Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson didn’t look Masters ready and neither did Jason Day after the first 8 holes of Round 1, or Bubba Watson by the Back-Nine on Thursday. Sergio Garcia started off okay and then turned into Sergio at a major, as the golf gods just continue to torment him.

Dustin Johnson hung around, but the putter let him down again, and again, and again, which in-itself sounds more like Ernie Els playing the first hole. Els could have borrowed a line from the late Seve Ballesteros on how he 6-putted the first hole in Round 1. I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I make. Jason Dufner, Ian Poulter, Zach Johnson and Jimmy Walker were gone early or never in contention.

Zach, I know you are laughing all the way to the bank, but how are those new clubs working out for you ?

Brandt Snedeker and Justin Rose made their share of birdies, only to bounce around close to even par and then back to green numbers. Yes green numbers, it’s Augusta and it’s Masters week.

Whether it was pin the placements or weather conditions, most of the big guns played like pop guns for 2 or 4 days.

So Rory, who is this Danny Willett guy, I don’t think I took him in the pool.

OKAY, I didn’t have him in the pool either, but I had Louis Oosthuizen in the pool and he made a really cool bank-shot, hole-in-one in the final round. I didn’t have Soren Kjeldsen in the pool either, and I don’t know who he knows because he got far too much TV time during the back-nine on Sunday. But I suggest we learn his name because he will probably be on the European Ryder Cup Team come September.

I do know that Bernhard Langer, low-amateur Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy didn’t get enough TV time on Sunday.

I do know my definition of drama during the back-nine on Sunday at the Masters, is not watching Spieth make 7 on a Par 3 after chunking two balls into Rae’s Creek.

Hey Rory, didn’t you say this would be a great Masters without Tiger Woods being there hogging far too much TV time while shooting 80 in round 1 & 2 and missing the cut ?

Actually I did, and while I didn’t miss Woods hitting out of them for two days,  I saw Spieth do it more times than I do in any given round. I guess the driver face Spieth broke on Wednesday, might have hurt him more than we thought.

The Gog Blog returns tomorrow, and the U.S Open at Oakmont which returns in two months can’t get here fast enough either. I’m ready for some real drama. RS

The clock is ticking, and while there is some great golf to watch this week from the land of Pimento Sandwiches and Green Jackets, it’s hard not to get excited about Chicago’s biggest golf tournament of the summer ahead.

THE UL INTERNATIONAL CROWN, coming from July 19-24 at the Merit Club in Libertyville.

The second UL International Crown is shaping up to be even more exciting that the first one back in 2014.

Defending champion Spain is out and didn’t even crack the field of eight. 2014 runner-up Sweden is gone as well, yes the team that finished 1 and 2, won’t be back.

Australia got in. The Aussies were there in 2014, but like Team USA they didn’t qualify for Sunday’s final round at Caves Valley. This time they plan to stick around until the end, and they might have just the player who can help them do that.

The venue for this years UL International Crown, is the Libertyville based Merit Club which previously hosted the 2000 U.S Women’s Open won by Karrie Webb. The club hasn’t hosted any tournaments since. Many of today’s top players weren’t around in 2000, or they were under the age of 10.

But Australia has Webb, who knows the course and has the hardware to prove it. While Webb hasn’t returned to the Merit Club since her victory or played golf in the Chicago area since her win in the LPGA Kellog-Keebler at Stonebridge Country Club in Naperville, she did return to Chicago yesterday to start promoting this summers UL Crown.

Webb says with defending champion Spain not in the field, she feels like she is really the defending champion, and she is looking forward to her return and hopefully winning at MC again.

Masters.Com

Welcome to the week that every year just seems to kick-start golf. Yeah…Masters week.

Jordan Spieth will try to spend the week trying to put another green jacket across his shoulders, and not having to do the honor of putting it on someone else.

There are some who expect Spieth to walk away with another jacket this week. I am not one of them. I do expect Spieth will be in the heat of the battle, but not in victory form. I am rooting for Rory McIlroy to complete the career Grand Slam and join that small fraternity. But I believe Bubba Watson will be your winner, with Jason Day on his heels. You want a sleeper, Louis Oosthuizen and or Phil Mickelson should be in the hunt.

In the winners circle already at Augusta National is 11 year old Christian Kim of Vernon Hills, who won his age group in the National Drive-Chip and Putt competition. Well done Christian and congratulations.

Illinois Golf Team #1

University of Illinois at it’s practice facility.

The University of Illinois Men’s Golf team also came up a winner in the 3M Augusta Invitational, to defeat the #1 University of Texas Longhorns by 3 shots.

Illinois entered the final round in second place, but shot 12 under par as a team to comeback and win.

“It was a solid day from the start,” head coach Mike Small said. ” The key was getting off to a good start on the early holes witch are tough holes. This is a historic tournament so it’s nice to get our name on the trophy.”

Sr. Charlie Danielson shot a 4 under par final round to lead the way, with Thomas Detry carding a final round 3 under par. Illinois was 17 under par for the tournament.

Callaway Golf packed up the truck and brought all the goods over to the “Great Hall” in the new Mistwood Clubhouse.

The new look Callaway Golf that searches for aerodynamic ideas from companies like Boeing, is still getting the best in wedges from the masters like designer Roger Cleveland.

When Cleveland isn’t designing wedges for pro golfers like Phil Mickelson, he is creating them for you.

The new MD3 wedges have been on the market since last fall, and Cleveland says the feedback that’s coming in, has been fantastic.

Click here to hear the interview with Roger Cleveland. Cleveland discusses wedge loft, when to replace them, and what the new MD3 wedges bring to the table, that previous Callaway models did not. Cleveland talks about Mickelson normally plays with four wedges, and spend as much as 50% of his practice time working on the short game. because that’s where you score and can make up lost shots.

DSC06391 Roger in the bunker DS

Roger Cleveland stands in the short game bunker at Mistwood, explaining the new MD3 wedges.

Callaways event at Mistwood this past week, was stop 45 of 47 for some of the Callaway team.

The team started making these stops in front of the pro’s and sales people who sell their products, early in the year both in Florida and in California or the desert states.

The final stops will take the team to Canada next week.

The feed back and exchange allows the sales force and pro’s to get information back to corporate Callaway and for them to get a better understanding of how the new products work and why.

If your looking for new wedges or other Callaway equipment, now is the time to make the change before you get into the heart of golf season.

Part of the Callaway demonstration was a look at the Odyssey Putters, which is one of the Callaway companies.

They are sitting down with people like your golf pro, or the sales reps in the golf retail stores, to find out how well the the chain of command is working, and to make sure their are no broken links in the chain.
