An old school friend passed away suddenly a few weeks ago.
If you'll indulge me, I wrote some words about it and the lesson I hope you'll learn from my regret.

With LIV (reportedly) on the brink, let's remind ourselves of how it all came to be in the first place.

Shane Lowry is now halfway to the ANHIO (Augusta National Hole In One) Slam.
Just needs the 4th and the 12th to complete the set.

￭ The uniformity of the typewriters
￭ The simplicity of the facilities
￭ The picnic-style break-out area
￭ The fedora
￭ The cigar
￭ The 'Press' badge pinned to the lapel
A simpler time.

It's been a while since there have been any ramblings, so here's some thoughts on Rory McIlroy.
Specifically, the fascinating, terrifying, tantalising prospect of 'next'.

On the day we were founded...
Nick Price was the world No.1, Ben Crenshaw was the most recent major champion, Tiger Woods was still an amateur, and Rory McIlroy was a six-year-old with a washing machine for a training aid.
