The Masters is the way a lot of the country finds out it's Springtime. There's just something about seeing that scene every year and how beautiful it is. But it can also be a reminder of allergies for many of you. Remember, Sinus and Snoring can get rid of those.
This week I was talking to a guy at my car place (Lamb's btw) and he said he is currently trying to get used to a CPAP machine. I told him to stick with it and told him about my wife and best friend who both had a tough time with their CPAP but are now loving it.
I always say everybody's path is different when it comes to ear, nose, and throat stuff. Be patient and stay with it. There are a lot of options out there. Ask Dr. Slaughter about it and start that process.

* - What...A...Masters
I was rooting for Rory all week, and what a roller coaster. The 2 double bogeys on Thursday kinda scared you, but Friday he bounced back. Saturday, Bryson felt like a monster, but Rory stayed with him. Then Sunday...WOW.
Rory went from 3 up to one down to 4 up in what felt like 10 minutes. Then came the big birdie putts and Bryson's fade. Hey now, Rory may have this. Nice job on 13 Rory, just be smart. All you need's a nice little wedge into the gree... Oh HELL. Here we go. But what a comeback on 15. Incredible approach. Now hit the eagle and give yourself some room. Wait, he didn't eagle 15 after THAT approach? Dammit. And who's that with his finger in the air like Roman Reigns?...Justin Rose? Uh Oh. And who's THAT? Ludvig? I need another drink.
Then Rory hits a beauty into 17. Nobody does that. The golf gods are gonna let him have it. Finally. Wait, Rose hit that birdie putt on 18? Ok, ok, Rory's still up 1. Just play 18 like a champ. Wait...driver? C'mon Rory let's think about this. You might want to...BOOM...great club selection! Now just a nice wedge into the green and you two putt for history. RORY!!! Ok, let's breathe (pours another drink).
Up and down from there and you've got it.
Of course it's one of those putts...... Damn. Golf gods have another test for him. Please tell me it's today. I'm not sure I can keep doing this year after year...
Playoff with Rose and Justin hits a nice one into the green. Will Rory cave under the pressure?...No indeed.
He nails the approach, puts it inside Rose's ball, and sinks the putt. Then all the emotions came out.
What a great sports moment that was. That green has given us so many, but they are all so different. It hits everybody differently from man to man and era to era. This one was pure relief and release. Those screams of joy are something I will never forget. And consider how long it had been. This was Rory's 11th time to try and get the Grand Slam. 11th. Sarazan, Woods, and Hogan did it on their very first try. Jack and Player did it on their 3rd. Rory had to go through all those questions and doubts and jokes and pressure...11 times. From 2014 to 2025 with social media at its full power and viciousness.
After he did it, at the press conference, Rory said he wanted to start with a question...
"What are we gonna talk about next year?" Anything you want big man. You've earned it.
Now that Rory is the 6th to get the Grand Slam, let's look at a few other names and where they are. We COULD get 7 and 8 this year. But before that...3 that have work to do...
Brooks Koepka - 5 majors (No Masters or British)
Bryson - 2 majors (both US Opens)
Scottie Scheffler - 2 majors (both Masters)
- Now to the 2 that could join Rory in the club.
First up, Jordan Spieth at the PGA (May 15-18). Jordan's had 8 tries at the Grand Slam. Unlike Rory, the indication is not there that he is close, but you never know.
Then, of course, there's Phil at The US Open. He's had 10 chances to get the Grand Slam, but has not done it yet. And he has 6 2nd place finishes to add to the pain. The US Open happens June 12-15.
Guys, Rory showed you the way. He even showed you that you don't have to be perfect. You get that Lefty?
C'mon Jordan. C'mon Phil. make 2025 a Grand Slam kinda golf year.
