2015 Golf Recap

I must confess, 2015 was a great year of golf for me. I’ll explain later. I guess Jason Day would agree after winning the 97th PGA Championship. I would have cried, too. I bet he’s not the only one who would agree 2015 was a prosperous year. Look at a few of these notable players’ earnings:

1.     Jordan Spieth – $12,030,465
2.     Jason Day – $9,403,330
3.     Bubba Watson – $6,876,797
4.     Rickie Fowler – $ 5,773,430
5.     Henrik Stenson – $4,755,070

In case you are wondering, Phil Mickelson made $2,154,200 and Tiger Woods made $448,558. I’m sure neither one of these guys would say 2015 was a banner year. I know you feel sorry for both of these guys. Me too. Not!

I do feel a little sorry for Tim Herron. He was last on Money List at $21,342.00. I can’t imagine the pressure these guys are under if you are trying to feed your family playing this game. I assure you, my family would be starving.

I did have a pretty good year. Here is a few of my notables:

1. Made two golf trips with my buddies – Brasstown Valley (spring) and Maggie Valley (fall).
2. Took a jet over to Augusta for Wednesday’s Par 3 Tournament. (Bragging, sorry.)
3. Played golf with Henrik Stenson’s caddie. Yes, I won! (There I go again.)
4.  I always try to break 70. I never did, but I did shoot 32 on a couple of different 9 holes. One was when I was walking and carrying my own bag. Go figure.
5. Took Dan’s money in the last round of 2015. Yeah, baby!

Here are a few goals I would like to achieve in 2016:

1.     Play more golf with my dad.
2.     Take more of Dan’s money.
3.     Walk more.
4.     Break 70 more than once.
5.     Play more golf with my dad.

Till next tee time!
