Since we're still getting returned within the swing of golfing this season (sorry however I couldn't withstand the pun) I want to remind you that golf is in primetime again as well as the wee hours of the morning this week.
At least, it's far right here on the East Coast of the us. The Sony Open in Hawaii is kind of 5 hours in advance people right here in North Carolina. (I'll get to the early golf in a minute.)
As you probably recognise, Jimmy Walker is trying to get a three-peat at Waialae Country Club this week -- a challenge made truly simpler through Jordan Spieth's absence. Spieth is taking this week off before heading for Abu Dhabi subsequent week (with new sponsor Coca-Cola in tow).
But 22 from the Hyundai discipline are making the fast hop from Maui to the large island so there will be some tested expertise there, players like Zach Johnson and Graeme McDowell. Adam Scott is also making his Tour debut for 2016, as is Luke Donald. And there could be 9 first-timers within the discipline, such as Emiliano Grillo and Russell Knox.
And with all the nasty weather across the US, how can you move incorrect dreaming approximately a heat paradise? Maybe you can not be there, but it's pleasant to be reminded that it nevertheless exists!
In the wee hours of the morning you can catch the Joberg Open on the ET. Last week's winner Brandon Stone is trying to go back-to-back in South Africa. GC's coverage starts bright and early at 5am ET this morning. (Yes, many of you will have already missed it by the time you read this. But the second round starts at the same time Friday morning.)
The Sony Open gets underway with the GC Pre-Game show at 6pm ET , then the regular coverage begins at 7pm ET .
And in case you like watching the celebrities play, the Diamond Resorts Invitational starts at 2:30pm ET and runs until the GC Pre-Game show starts.
So you've got plenty of golf to keep you busy today if you're enduring the cold winter weather, as most of us are. Think warm thoughts, folks. Aloha!
