It would be nice to say that the Goodboys have been waiting 51 weeks for the 26th Goodboys Invitational, but the fact it that’s just not so. As the adage goes, the Goodboys can’t wait to see each other until Friday morning. Then, after Friday’s first round and the ‘Boys have renewed acquaintances for a round of golf, Sunday afternoon can’t come soon enough.

Speaking only for myself, no one – and I do mean no one in Goodboys Nation has worked harder on their game than I have. This time last year I thought I had made significant steps to improve my game, but, looking back, I realize now I didn’t know what the hell I was doing out there; this year, I’ve come to know my swing so well that I can tell where the ball is going just from the sound of the ball off my club face. I’m in a good spot right now, it’s just a matter of seeing if I can execute and if my swing can hold up under the mind-numbing, bone-crushing pressure of a Goodboys Invitational. All the pieces are in place, now it’s just a matter of doing it to it.

It’s time to play ball. Let the games begin.
