Tiger Wins PGA Championship

Tiger is pumped, he won the PGA Championship (last major of the year).

And that's not even the half of it. He's won five tournaments in a row: the British Open, the Buick Open, the PGA Championship, the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, and the Deutsche Bank Championship. Totally ridiculous.

At the end of the 1999 season and beginning of the 2000 season, Tiger won six in a row. That tied Ben Hogan for the second-longest streak in history. The longest is held by Byron Nelson, who won eleven straight in 1945.

Tiger knows how many five is.

Sectional Championship

Man, I wouldn't want to be that ball. Seriously. She is crushing that thing.

The miracle season of 2006 came to an end at the Sectional Tournament, where Rae's team faced district champions from as far away as Long Island and New Jersey. They put up a good fight though.

Congratulations to the Net Workers on a spectacular season!

There was a professional photographer there this time. He was, of course, naturally drawn to Rae and her mad skills. Here are a couple of shots which I lifted off his web site, Event Photographs. Notice how Rae doesn't actually touch the ground when she plays. The team photo is my work, as you may have guessed.



Rae's Team District Champs!

Okay, so this is kinda old news at this point, but I am determined to catch up with my blogging!

There they are, with the district trophies! This was a close one, it came down to the last game of the last doubles court, which of course went to a tie-breaker. I thought I was having a freaking heart attack.

Nothing soothes a near freaking heart attack like ice cream. Here's Rae with team captain Jenny at A-La-Mode. Check out those district-champ smiles!
