At lunch at Golf Digest headquarters the other day, we were projecting when we might actually get a chance to play golf. We were looking out the window at the open field out behind the cafeteria, still almost entirely covered with snow. If you craned your neck and looked in a corner, you could see a patch of brown grass no bigger than a manhole cover.

I didn't know any of these men, but I can tell you now I don't like them. Especially this guy.

Perhaps I'll feel differently in April.
