For golf fans--
Hello TRF friends. I am caddying for my friend, Jon Khan, on PGA Tour Canada this week in London Ontario. It's the season ending tour championships, top 60 on money list qualify. These guys are not playing for big money but it is the real deal, they are playing for status on the Web.com Tour and exempt from stages at Q school. You will see some of these guys on the Big Tour soon. My buddy Jon has had a so so year. Several top 20's but couldn't bring it home for a top finish....yet. Hoping this wll be a great week. I think I will wear my Heritage Chrono Blue! Follow along here
http://www.pgatour.com/canada/en_us/leaderboard.html http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.47746.html And if you are in the area and want to grab a beer and talk watches or come out and watch some super high level golf send me a PM. Play starts Thursday and finishes Sunday http://www.highlandcountryclub.com |

Would rather watch some young, eager up and comers than some tour professionals that's for sure! I haven't caddied for a tour pro but I've been a Marshall on a number of tournaments Including three U.S. Opens, as well as a spectator at most major events and I can tell you there are PGA players who I would put up there with Al-Qaeda operatives! Some were so self-centered and down right evil to people and fans. There are a bunch of nice guys too but man there are a ton of jerks! JMHO

Good luck to your friend. We have a great tournament like that here in Niagara Falls "the porter cup."
I use to always go with my grandfather. Good times.

Especially Americans! I've been around them all as it was my life for about 16 years. No question why the US gets crushed at every Ryder Cup....that being said, what the young studs are doing now will change things to come. Fowler, Speith, DJ, Thomas, Reed, WHAT!?!$&! We're in a good place for years to come. Hope you enjoyed the experience, being inside the ropes is a treat  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

After Driver 6 iron to 30' and a 3 putt par and then bogey on two we had 6 birdies to finish -5 65 today. It wasn't the prettiest round but he got in the hole and as we know there are no pictures on score cards.

To keep this somewhat watch related pics of my Tudor HC Blue. Didn't hit it great but got up down, made putts and holed out from bunker on 5 for our first birdie to get things going. Currently T4 an Looks like we will be in 2nd to last group tomorrow. Hopefully another solid round to put us in position for the weekend.

Tied 2nd after another 65. Hit it a little better than day 1 and the putter got hot starting on 10. Chipped in on 14. Hoping for another good day today. THC treating me well.

For golf fans--
Congrats to your friend for a great result
Walking between the ropes is a total blast. But to Marc's earlier comment it can be peppered with major negative attitudes. Caddied for the Pro-Am each year at our local PGA Tour stop. Even as a volunteer carrying for our Execs/BOD, I saw hair raising meltdowns. Each customer of mine who got the invitation led to a tense draw dinner where you prayed he wouldn't get paired with a jerk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
