Thanks for this first post, Angus. In our brief conversation Wednesday at the TOUR Championship, you told me that just two weeks ago, you won the Club Championship at Atlanta's Candler Park Golf Club. Our talk took place in the Men's Grill of perhaps the most storied setting in American golf, East Lake No. 1, the home club of Bobby Jones.

Anyway...

Deep breath...

Within 100 yards of that 'orange' tree lies the par three 18th. I first played it when I was 17 years old trying out for the golf team at Georgia Tech. I didn't make it that year (1965) and a war intervened at the next. In fact, I was not to play East Lake again until 1970. So, I understand about the leaves.

They turn.

And they turn.
