« DAILY NOTES - April 16, 2008 | Main | THE WEEK IN REVIEW (4/7 - 4/13) »

THE WEEK AHEAD (4/14 - 4/20)

Things return to normal following the U.S. Open Masters at Augusta, with the primary draws being a wonderful golf course at Harbour Town, a full field of stars for Lorena Ochoa to batter in Florida, and the opening of the 2008 season in Japan.  Post-Major weeks are always quiet(er), but this one is hardly without interest...

 

PGA Tour:  Verizon Heritage

Site: Harbour Town Golf Links  -  Hilton Head, SC
Yards: 6,973     Par: 71
Defending: Boo Weekley 270  (beat Ernie Els by 1)
Field:   World Top 25: Ernie Els (3), Justin Rose (7), Jim Furyk (9), Stewart Cink (14), Zach Johnson (20), Aaron Baddeley (21), Niclas Fasth (23), Sean O’Hair (24) & Scott Verplank (25)   Other Notables: Paul Azinger, Mark Calcavecchia, Justin Leonard, Davis Love III & Corey Pavin.

Notes: This is the 40th playing of this event, which debuted with Arnold Palmer’s victory in 1969......It has been played the week after the Masters since 1983, a time slot which would be considered undesirable by many events, but which has worked here because 1) Pete Dye’s seminal Harbour Town layout remains a great draw, and 2) Many players consider Hilton Head an ideal spot to decompress following the pressures of Augusta.........No less than 10 Hall-of-Famers have won here, though the king of Harbor Town has surely been Davis Love III, who has claimed the title a remarkable five times (1987, ’91, ’92, ’98 and ’03).........Only Bernhard Langer (1985) has ever followed a Masters win with a victory here – and that distinction will remain his alone as Trevor Immelman is not playing this week.........Though modestly renovated over the years, Harbor Town remains an icon in the history of American golf course design, having largely reversed the trend towards longer, duller tracks of the 1950s and ‘60s by itself at the time of its 1969 opening.........It’s closers, the 185-yard 17th and 452-yard 18th, are among the most distinctive in golf.

European & Asian Tours:  Volvo China Open

Site: Beijing CBD International Golf Club  -  Beijing, China
Yards: 7,321     Par: 72
Defending: Markus Brier 274  (beat Scott Hend by 5)
Field:   World Top 25: None   Other Notables: S.S.P. Chowrasia, David Howell, Soren Kjeldsen,, Wen-Chong Liang, Graeme McDowell & Louis Oosthuizen

Notes: The European Tour co-sponsors this post-Masters event with the Asian Tour, but given the massive travel distance from Augusta, its chances of drawing a strong field are, at present, minimal.........This is the event’s fifth playing, with past champions including Stephen Dodd, Paul Casey and Jeev Milkha Singh, of whom only Dodd (who did not play at Augusta) will be present this year.........The Beijing CBD International Golf Club is a four-year-old course wedged onto a tight property east of downtown, and is hosting the event for the first time as the event makes its debut in China's capital.

Japan Tour:  Token Homemate Cup

Site: Token Tado Country Club  -  Nagoya, Japan
Yards: 7,083     Par: 71
Defending: Yui Ueda 276  (beat Dong-Hwan Lee by 1)
Field:   World Top 25: None    Other Notables: Ryo Ishikawa, Toshi Izawa, Shingo Katayama, Jet Ozaki, Jumbo Ozaki, Craig Parry, Toru Taniguchi

Notes: The Japan Tour begins its 24th official season (though it existed in a less-organized state well before 1985) with the Token Homemate Cup in Nagoya.........The field includes a full compliment of Japan’s best players, but few foreigners beyond the handful that regularly compete on the J Tour.........This is the event’s 19th playing, during which it has seen six foreign winners, the sole American champion being Todd Hamilton in 1995.........Japan’s all-time greatest player, 61-year-old Jumbo Ozaki, is scheduled to play, having won the event (by one over Carlos Franco) in 1997.

LPGA Tour:  Ginn Open

Site: Ginn Reunion Resort (Independence course)  -  Reunion, FL
Yards: 6,505     Par: 72
Defending: Brittany Lincicome 278  (beat Lorena Ochoa by 1)
Field:   Ranked: The entire Rolex top 20 except Ji-Yai Shin (7), Sakura Yokomine (16) & Yuri Fudoh (18)    Other Notables: Laura Davies, Meg Mallon, Liselotte Neumann, Grace Park, Jan Stephenson.

Notes: World number one Lorena Ochoa will attempt to win her fourth LPGA event in a row against a near-elite field just south of Orlando.........Ochoa is coming an 11-shot victory at the Corona Championship (in her native Mexico), a light-field event.........The rout (her second 11-shot triumph of 2008) raised her average margin of victory in four 2008 triumphs to an astonishing 8.5 strokes.........Annika Sorenstam and Suzann Pettersen, joint runners-up two weeks ago at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, are ranked 2nd and 3rd worldwide and will attempt to slow the Ochoa juggernaut.........This is only the event’s third playing, with past champions being Lincicome and, in the 2006 debut, Mi Hyun Kim.

Champions Tour:  Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am

Site: TPC Tampa Bay  -  Lutz, FL
Yards: 6,873     Par: 71

Field:   Ranked: The entire Charles Schwab Cup to 20 except Fred Funk (4) & Scott Simpson (19)   Other Notables: Bob Charles, Hubert Green, Hale Irwin, Gil Morgan, Larry Nelson & Mark O’Meara.

Notes: The Champions Tour returns to Florida’s west coast for the 21st playing of an event which has existed, under multiple sponsors, since 1988.........Both of the Tour’s two-time winners, Bernhard Langer and Scott Hoch are in the field, though Langer might be feeling a bit winded after two days Augusta National’s trying conditions last week.

However, I don't believe that we UGG United Kingdomcan extrapolate from this percentage that the same percentage applies to

formations before Cheap Nike Air Max Men1999, or indeed any formations which may appear in the future. Again, from my personal

investigations I believe that the actual uggshoesclearancesales.comratio of hoaxed formations to genuine formations

fluctuates from year todiscounted mbt shoes year, probably determined by media/general public interest. During years of little

publicity, research projects have continued to find Authentic Nike Shoe Saleanomalies linked to crop circles. This, coupled

with the fact crop circles continue discounted mbt shoesto appear - despite statements from hoaxers saying they are giving up or

retiring from making them - re-arouses public interest every fewUGG Discounted srore years. As public interest and curiosity

rises (is there still a mystery?), so hoaxers or disinformation merchants have to come forward and be seen to either make claims or to stage reconstructions for TV etc.Colin

claims to have found magnetic anomalies branded jeans storewithin a number of formations. Again, the media muddied the waters

here, to ensure that no oneFive Fingers Vibram Mall really knew what these magnetic anomalies were. In fact, from a personal

viewpoint I found this the most interesting part of his whole Air Jordan Sneakersannouncement, as I myself have been researching

the electromagnetic and radio Christian Louboutin shoesfrequency (RF) anomalies found in and around crop circles since 1991.If

we look back to figure 4, showing additional invisibleMBT Shoes Discount rings around a simple circle, we can also look on these

dowsable energy ripples asUGG Boots Discounted Store harmonics from some form of electromagnetic resonance vibrating out from

the actual crop formation. It is my personal view nike shoes for boysthat everything in the universe is linked via harmonic

resonances and vibrations.
