More on Mark Wilson
Boy, this Mark Wilson story is just great. Our main man Ed Sherman has not been updating his blog that often but he has vindicated himself with the this piece on Thursday in the Chicago Tribune.
I may just start milling around in the Western ‘burbs just on the off chance that I run into Mark Wilson running some errands so I can say “dude, you kick ass!” Not only is it a great story that this local journeyman finally won on tour, but he did so after assessing himself a two stroke penalty, thereby upholding the integrity of the game and the integrity of all Chicagolanders (even though he is a Packer fan).
If you haven’t heard, on Friday of the tournament he heard his caddie tell another caddie what club he hit. You can’t do that. It doesn’t matter if it’s you or your caddie, neither can give or receive advice in competition to/from another player/caddie, period! He told a rules official and was assessed a two stroke penalty. Then he still goes on to win.
Read Sherman’s article and let’s starting getting into Chicago golf. Also, relish the 50+ degree day we are going to have and get fired up because the season is right around the corner.
