Teeing Off

Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

Hey, who’s that funny looking guy on TV?

March
30

Actually, that would be me. I’ll be on our new joint venture with RNN, “NewsCenter Now” tonight to talk about Meaghan Francella and Johnson Wagner, both of whom are faring well in their respective tourneys. Also, I’ll plug my blog, which basically means that my entire existence is just one endless cycle of shameless self-promotion.

Anyway, the latest on the two local players in their second rounds: Francella is 1-under par through four holes to move to three shots off the lead at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, while Wagner is at even par through four holes and two shots off the lead at the Shell Houston Open.

My goal by the end of this year is to stage a match between the two players, mostly because that would mean I wouldn’t have to be monitoring two different tournaments at once…

    I think John Daly should be on the checking line…

    Wagner is looking great today. Smooth and confident. Hope he finishes strong as he’s struggled on Sundays. Watched him at Palmer’s Classic two weeks back – played well, but missed a few big putts.

    BTW – I’ve only played one of those top 100 courses, but that one would be Pine Valley, where I caddied for three years. Nice place :)

    Sam, I hope you have your allergy medicine as it is pine pollen time in the south. I was in Augusta a week before the “Masters” one year and my rental car was covered with it and now that I live in Pinehurst I deal with it every year at this time.

A sports reporter at The Journal News for nearly three years, Alex Myers has covered a bit of everything, but a lot of golf, ranging from the high school level to last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot. His golf writing goes back to his college days when he attended Wake Forest University. Myers is also an avid player who is constantly trying to improve on his current handicap of 8. Perhaps his biggest thrill came earlier this summer when he conquered the famed 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass by hitting a 9-iron onto the island green and walking away with a 2-putt par.
