Welcome to Moes...

Welcome to Moes. Those are a few of my favorite words. That is just about all I can think about at the moment, lunch. Right now Scott is playing his practice round at River Run Country Club with Chas Narramore, Duke( chas' caddy) and TimTang. Well... Then there is me, sitting in the cart either reading or playing on the iphone. So, with some time on my hands below are some of my thoughts at the moment.

Scott really likes River Run and Northstone, the two courses this week. He is hoping for more success this week as the last couple Tarheel events have been a bit frustrating(his words, not mine). The tarheel tour is very different than the hooters. The tarheel tour is nice because it runs pretty close to Tennessee, I don't have to caddy because you ride in carts, and the purses are higher than the hooters tour. I know those sound like pretty good perks but the tarheel tour, to me, is not professional golf. It seems more like a big money game. In the tarheel tour players wear shorts, use range finders, ride in carts, and...anyone can play. Any Joe shmo can decide he wants to play, pay his money, and play in events. The hooters tour is not like that at all. They are modeled just like the nationwide and PGA tours and have their own version of Q School. With all this said, the tarheel tour takes some getting used to. Currently, we are working out the kinks.

Tomorrow, Scott tees off at 0800 on the North Stone course(they only play this course once in the tournament). You can find the leaderboard at the lovely tarheeltour.com and the tourament comenses on Friday.
