Having to endure the miserable warm and sunny weather of Hawaii in the Tournament of Champions (while those of us fortunate enough to be in the States got to enjoy white stuff falling on about every course above sea level), Jonathan Byrd (of recent 2010 hole-in-one to win fame) and Robert Garrigus (of shrunken putter fame) took the tournament into playoff holes, with Byrd winning, albeit neither by an ace nor birdie.
Despite television commentator's statements to the contrary, this was not the "first" win of 2011. That distinction went to Bogey Brown in a challenge tournament put forth by Ace Middleton (a marvelous victory reported here in a previous post.)
Brown, himself, has put forth his own challenge: offering a free copy of the great book Golf Nuts - You've Got To Be Committed, written by Golf Nut Society founder Ron Garland with assistance of Brian Hewitt, to the first five golfers contributing a golf anecdote to be published on this blog. Entries can be emailed to golfnut2011@yahoo.com (and preferably should be suitable for the delicate ears and eyes of fellow golfers.)
