Tiger Woods won his tournament Sunday, outlasting Hunter Mahan and defending champion Anthony Kim who faltered down the stretch. (Mrs. Fairway thought Tiger winning his own event was a conflict of interest.) Tiger’s victory at the AT&T National Presented by Tiger Woods (as the CBS promos said), makes it a hat trick this year for victories in tournaments hosted by golf greats. Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and The Memorial, hosted by Jack Nicklaus. Woods made crucial putts when he need them and watched as Kim, his fellow competitor in the final group, missed twice from inside 10 feet. No question that Woods will be the favorite heading into the British Open at Turnberry in two weeks. Mr. Fairway had the pleasure of attending the Thursday round and saw Tiger hole a 50-foot putt for birdie on the second hole. Stay tuned for more tournament notes.

I kept looking for you in the crowd over the weekend, but now I see you went on Thursday. Who cares about Thursday? I want Mr. Fairway on the course on the day of decision.
Your pal,

Richard, Mr. Fairway avoids the crowds on the weekends at golf tournaments. Besides, he likes to play golf and the sit in front of the big screen HDTV and catch all the action while sipping his favorite beverage. (Check out Leinenkugel's Classic Amber, a great American lager brewed with water from the Big Eddy Springs in Chippewa Falls, Wis.)
You covered politics the same way, I remember -- just without the big screen HDTV. :-)
Trust me, there were no TVs when I was with John Connally at a hog farm in Hull, Iowa or at the Newt Gingrich picnic outside Atlanta or at the Rep. Jack Brooks speech to the Beuamont Kiwanis Club.
And you couldn't find a Leinenkugel in any of those places either. Boy has that changed. I was in Maine last week and passed a run-down liquor store with a Leinenkugel sign in the window. I thought of you immediately.
