T-21, Not Bad for a Guy Who Can't Bust a Grape....Blog by Brian Manzella

Brian, I'm proud of you for putting the peg in the ground and posting a score. So many guys in the business make any excuse possible to avoid individual stroke play events. You'll find a lot of guys playing in partners games and other individual avoidance contests.

Anyway, congrats to you...I could see your talent in the few shots I watched in Vegas. Guys like me respect you for your knowledge, but you just gained a heap more respect and I assure you, your better players really appreciate the fact you can talk the same language.

Thanks Martin!

When I teed it up in my first Tour event I made the mistake of glancing up in the bleachers and seeing everyone I had ever met in my life it appeared. I walked over to my caddie and whispered "Im a little concerned. I cant feel my legs." His face turned white, which didnt help. Then Dave Rummels (yes, Dave Rummels), hit the nastiest, rat-ass hook youve ever seen in your life and missed the biggest fairway in the world. I thought the fans were going to throw fruit at him like they did on Bugs Bunny, or maybe he would pass out and die. When none of that happened and I realized it was okay to hit a shot like that in a Tour event, it calmed me down alot.

I'll always be grateful to Dave Rummels

Lol!
