My putting was a real strength for me today. I holed a few bombs for birdies, but I also made all the short ones, and they really count when it comes to adding up your score.
I have performed my duty to my God, my country, and my family. I have nothing to fear in approaching death. To me it is the mere shadow of God's protecting wing . . . Here I will rest in quiet and peace beyond the reach of calumny's poisoned shaft, the influence of envy and jealous enemies, where treason and traitors or State backsliders and hypocrites in church can have no peace.
Let us look forward to the time when we can take the flag of our country and nail it below the Cross, and there let it wave as it waved in the olden times, and let us gather around it and inscribed for our motto: 'Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever,' and exclaim, 'Christ first, our country next!'

I was disappointed. I wanted to go against the No. 3 state player.
We are always looking for ways to expand the natural part of our business. But our core business is going to be based on the core cable business.
It shows all of our hard work that we've done. It also shows how much we can still achieve.
I've learned how to deal with some things (this year). I realized, there are people out there who can beat me, want to beat me. And unless I continue to innovate and evolve, I am going to learn a painful lesson from someone who has.
Everybody was probably thinking 'He shot 62, he can't do it again. Maybe that helped me today. But early on I was really, really nervous. The first drive felt like the head cover was still on the club.
