I spent the week in Miami, Florida and as much as the conference I was invited to was wonderful, the highlight of the week was golfing at the Doral Golf Resort which plays host to the Cadillac Championship.  The day was hot and humid, I was in great company (Tom, Peter and Dave), the course was in great shape and it was the first time (and probably last time) we had our very own caddy (thanks Jack).

This picture is the bridge of champions where many greats like Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Tiger Woods have crossed as the winner of the Cadillac Championship.  I can now say I walked across that bridge after shooting a 49 on the front nine and finishing the round with a respectable 98.  I spent a lot of time in the sand that day using a Blunt Bean Counter ball given to me by my friend Mark Goodfield.  I kept that same ball for the whole round until it went into the water at 18.  All in all it was a great experience!
