The Official 'Double P' Blog

I am writing this blog, as I often do, sitting on an airplane flying back from the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, FL.

PP played in three of the Florida swing events. Having played eight in a row and about to take three weeks off, it seems a good time to check in with all of you.

The first event was the Honda in Palm Beach Gardens, where he missed the cut by one shot. He missed to many greens in regulation in the opening round, putting him behind the eight ball. A fine Friday morning round (which include an eagle on 18) was not quite enough to see weekend work.

From there it was on to Tampa for the PODS Championship played at Innisbrook Resort, a course PP has played well in the past. The day before the tournament, we went to watch Philadelphia play Toronto in a spring training match up. Our host for the week, Phillies left fielder Pat Burrell, hit a two-run homer which might still be traveling. This thing was a bomb. After the game he took us for a tour of the clubhouse which PP, H and I really enjoyed.

PP played some great golf that week but a poorish Sunday resulted in a t14.

This last week the Tour went back to Bay Hill and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I know PP is always honored to play in Mr. Palmer's event. After a solid start, PP struggled with his ball striking on Saturday, resulting in a 6 over 76. But he dug deep to fire 69 on Sunday one of the four under par rounds of the day in very testing conditions. This included a bogey-bogey finish.

It is very apparent that PP is getting closer and closer to winning. If he just keeps doing what he's been doing, the door to victory will open wide.

While PP and H have three weeks vacation, I'm off to Houston next week to try and get JD back in the winners circle.
