Hitting the Links: Happy Friday Bro’s

Thank God it’s Friday. It’s been along week for this guy. Today I’m getting my windshield replaced on my car. It’s only like 6 months over due, but hey better late than never. I’m so sick of this god-damned weather. Everyday the chances of rain changes. Monday 20%, Wednesday 40%, Friday 50%. Am I asking too much? Is some sunshine out of the question? If it rains tomorrow, I’m going to ROAST.

What You Missed: Verizon Heritage Round 1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/Mary Ann Chastain

After one round at Harbour Town Alex Cejka is our leader. He shot a bogey free -7 on Thursday for a very nice 64. To make the day even better for Cejka he drained a 47-footer for birder on the 17th.  Unfortunately he missed a few months last season due to neck surgery from pain that started at the The Open last year. Cejka noted that, “I’m not 100 percent. I’m like 85 percent.” and that “It takes time. But I’m really happy in the way my body feels right now. Now it’s a good time to start really practicing hard and play a lot of tournaments. He obviously played quite well, we’ll see if he is able to keep up the momentum into weekend.
