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

The guy obviously has taste

June

So what if Tiger Woods finished second in the U.S. Open? The guy is still the measuring stick of cool seeing how he and wife Elin named their daughter Sam.

Man. I should have told him the occasional “Nice story” would suffice. He didn’t have to go naming his kids after me.

Anyway, congratulations to the Woods clan. I look forward to covering Sam in the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open—if not the Masters.

**********************************

While we’re on the topic oif the world No. 1, here’s my story from today’s paper which suggests Woods is looking more like Jack Nicklaus than ever before.

    Sam,

    Wow. Your parents have thought you would be a girl (if Tiger got his daughter’s name from you). :) Only kidding..

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.
