Hi Everyone:
With an exciting Masters in the books, the PGA tour heads to the southeastern city of Charlotte, South Carolina next week with Hilton Head, a great venerable tour stop in between. Love that lighthouse there
Both Tiger Woods and Phil Michelson head up a stellar field of players at Quail Hollow in Charlotte next week on a stunning venue that requires accuracy and distance.
With the US Open looming in less than two months now it looks Quail Hollow provides a major venue type course to work on key shots in preparation for Pebble Beach in June at the US Open.
Could this be a preview of the showdown we’re looking for between Woods and Michelson going ‘possibly mano to mano’ for golf’s second major, the US Open?
Look for Phil to continue to use the three wood as a real driving weapon off the tee in his bag like he did at Augusta. Then again he hit probably one of the best golf shots of all time in a major at The Masters out of the pine straw there on the back nine. Seems he just can’t always stay out of trouble and when he does he is a real magician on finding the green with his shot-making skills.
Can Phil overtake Tiger in the world rankings here this summer? Wow! That would be something else and a great summer for golf here. And then there’s the Ryder Cup in September as well. Exciting stuff!
Talk soon,
Bob Cisco, the Golf Doctor
