| RV fire causes huge delays in Parley's Canyon - ksl.com Posted: 20 Aug 2009 04:57 PM PDT
To view this video, you need to download the latest version Flash Player. PARLEY'S CANYON -- An RV fire caused big delays for drivers in Parley's Canyon Friday evening. Utah Highway Patrol troopers say the RV was traveling eastbound on Interstate 80 Friday evening when it suddenly caught fire near mile marker 138. No one was injured, but by the time fire crews arrived the RV was nearly a total loss. Video shot by a witness shows how the fire spread along a trail of gasoline along the side of the freeway. At one point, only lane of traffic was getting through on eastbound I-80. All lanes are now open. Fire investigators are not sure if the fire was caused by a brake problem or a gas tank malfunction. ------ *Photo and video courtesy Tona Davenport  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| From the Journal Gazette - FortWayne.com Posted: 20 Aug 2009 02:52 AM PDT An unexpectedly strong market and a smoother-than-expected transition have Fleetwood RV Inc. saying it likely will add 300 workers to its Decatur operations in the next three months. The company also plans to invest $7.4 million in its facilities, company and state officials announced Wednesday. It marked the second straight day that rumblings of an improving economy meant good news for area factory workers. Fleetwood RV was formed in July when American Industrial Partners Capital Fund IV bought the motor home assets and the Fleetwood brand from bankrupt Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. The new owners expected staffing to reach about 600 workers by the end of the year, said Paul Bamatter, a partner in AIP. Instead, Fleetwood RV will make weekly additions to a workforce that on Monday numbered 630, Chief Executive Officer Chuck Wilkinson said. Wilkinson stipulated that his company is increasing production and that hiccups in the supply chain could slow plans to add jobs. As it hires workers, Fleetwood plans to restart a production line making luxury motor homes in mid-September. Bamatter, Wilkinson, Gov. Mitch Daniels and other officials attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday at Fleetwood RVs Class A motor home plant on U.S. 224 east of Decatur. They were celebrating the fact that a new company will keep the lines running at the Decatur plants. It really feels good to be working again, doesnt it? Wilkinson asked a crowd of a few hundred workers who had assembled for the ceremony in the plants paint room. Daniels said AIPs decision to buy the motor home assets and to have Fleetwood RVs headquarters in Decatur had much to do with the city and its residents. There is no shortage in Decatur of the elements of success, including the workforce, Daniels said. Another reason AIP chose the Decatur facilities was an incentive package worth up to $9.1 million from the Indiana Economic Development Corp., Bamatter said. Wilkinson said that for competitive reasons he doesnt want to go into detail about the improvements being made to the Fleetwood RV facilities. But, as an example, he cited paint ovens that were part of equipment worth $8 million AIP bought from a Fleetwood Enterprises plant in California. The company is considering installing the ovens in the Fleetwood RV Class C motor home plant on Winchester Road so units made there dont have to be taken across town to be painted, Wilkinson said. Fleetwood employed more than 1,300 in Decatur before the economy started to spiral downward in December 2007. The 600 who remained on the payroll in 2009 worked sporadically until AIP bought the motor home assets. Then in July, they all had to reapply for their jobs. They all took a 10 percent pay cut and lost accrued vacation, said John Draheim, president and chief operating officer of Fleetwood RV. Workers were disappointed to lose the pay and vacation but are starting to feel more secure about their jobs, said a Fleetwood worker who declined to give his name because the company didnt give him permission to speak to the media. Adams County unemployment was 14.8 percent in June, but the good news at Fleetwood RV might lead the way for the rest of the area, Decatur Mayor John Schultz said. This is a giant leap for us on the way back to recovery, Schultz said. On the streets of downtown Decatur, people are hopeful about the economy, but theyre still waiting for concrete signs of improvement. I think people are getting more encouraged, but Im not sure why, said John Eisenmann, 46, who owns a home improvement business. Ryan Schnitz, 27, owns a motorcycle performance shop. He said that as a business that caters to hobbyists, hes dependent on customers disposable income. We still have some time before we see some improvement, Schnitz said. Wednesdays news from Fleetwood RV might be part of a trend. On Tuesday, thousands of workers at General Motors Co. plants in Allen County and Defiance, Ohio, learned they would likely be getting overtime through the second half of the year because of better-than-expected auto sales.

| Scott blog: Hard work and focus before the Playoffs - PGA Tour Posted: 27 Aug 2009 03:23 PM PDT Editor's note: Adam Scott will write a blog for PGATOUR.COM during the 2009 season. For more information on Scott, visit his official Web site. August 27, 2009 It's Thursday morning and just getting ready to head out to Liberty National to tee it for my first round at the Barclays. The course has the most amazing views but more important than that the designers, Bob Cupp and Tom Kite, transformed a toxic waste dump into an unbelievable golf course. The Statue of Liberty is only 1,000 feet away and each hole is positioned for a view of Lady Liberty. I truly enjoy going to new courses and learning about the history of the course and the visions of the designers. My dad and I talk frequently about the courses out on TOUR for our design company and this one is quite unique so it will be discussed a lot! It will be interesting to see how the scores will unfold. Very narrow fairways so you have to be precise and if the winds are up, like they were yesterday for the pro-Am, then anything can happen. My goal is to qualify for next week at the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston. I've been working hard so hoping it all comes together this week. It's been a frustrating year but I'm trying not to think of yesterday and rather focus on the present. I need to run but I'll be in touch soon. Until next time, take care. - Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 20, 2009 Hello, I'm in Greensboro, N.C.. preparing for the Wyndham Championship. I decided to play this tournament after a highly disappointing finish last week at the PGA Championship. I had two grueling rounds at Hazeltine and just couldn't find any rhythm on the greens. I felt OK with my new irons and driving the ball, but my putting was just terrible. I'm not playing well, and when things start to unravel, the best thing to do is get back to the basics and work hard. I spent a couple of days away from golf over the weekend and spent some time thinking about the rest of the year. I am confident with some hard work, I can get the train back on the track so to speak. Even though this is the last PGA TOUR Regular Season event, I am hoping to get myself in position to play throughout the Playoffs. This is my first time playing at Sedgefield Country Club. The greens are not overly fast, and it's important to hit the fairways in order to make some birdies. I think there will be some low scores this week. I had a decent Pro-Am today and am just looking ahead and taking one round at a time. I have an afternoon tee time tomorrow. I'm off to dinner and will be in touch early next week. Until then, take care. -Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 5, 2009 It's Wednesday and I'm in Akron at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. I had a good practice round today and the course is in really good shape. The fairways are pretty narrow so you've got be exact off the tee and the greens are very quick so you need to have precision with the short stick. I always look forward to playing this course and this year is no exception. The field is very competitive this week given it's a World Golf Championships event and every tournament from here on out is very important. I'm playing some new irons this week - the new Titleist MB irons. They are traditional style blades and are similar to the type of irons I played my entire career until switching to the AP2 irons in January 2008. I'm really feeling good with them and getting good feedback from the clubs. I think the irons have more of a user-friendly design, which allows a little more forgiveness in the hitting zone. Very clean and very simple. I'm looking forward to seeing how I go with them this week. Titleist will release the clubs sometime later this year. I'll keep you posted on how things progress with them! I have an early tee tomorrow so need to run to dinner and then will have an early night. I'll be in touch from Hazeltine next week. Until then, take care. -Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 30, 2009 Hello Everybody, I'm in London this week and will head over to the U.S. over the weekend. It's been a good couple of weeks, and I've been getting some good practice in. I can hardly believe we have eight weeks left in the regular season. I know it's a clich, but I really don't know where the time goes! Once the Masters is over, the year seems to fly by, and before we know it, it's time for our last major of the year. I'm looking forward to getting back to Hazeltine for our last major of the year. It is an old-fashioned-style golf course, and it's very tough and long! It actually opened in the 1960s, so it's not really that old. It has gone through various changes throughout the years, but it still has the feel of a classic design. I finished T23 in 2002, so I'm hoping for a better result! My game is feeling good, so you never know how things will unfold the next couple of weeks. I know one thing for sure; in order to win at Hazeltine, my short game will have to be in peak form, and there should be great rewards for accurate driving. Anyway, it's going to be a fun and exciting next couple of weeks. I'll be at the Bridgestone next week, and I look forward to seeing everyone then. Until next time, take care. - Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 23, 2009 Hello Everybody, I'm in Europe this week and just enjoying a few days before I head back to the U.S. next week. I'm getting some practice in and working specifically on my short game. I was disappointed with missing the cut at Turnberry by one stroke. I felt like things were coming together but unfortunately my putter let me down. What an exciting tournament to see Tom Watson do so well. He's a legend in our sport and it was inspirational to watch him. I read an article and the headline was "Watson gains more from losing than winning" -- I felt like that said it all. It would have been a remarkable accomplishment for Tom to win, but all of us were in awe of how well he played. It was similar to how well Greg Norman played last year. Needless to say, there's something special about the Open Championship. Our next Clubhouse Newsletter will be sent out on Aug. 1 so just want to remind everyone to sign up in the Clubhouse Section of my website before then. We will have some announcements regarding the Foundation activities being planned at the end of the year and also another fun contest you can enter. Until next time, take care. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 15, 2009
I'm at Turnberry preparing for the Open Championship. It's the one major of the year where the weather conditions are unpredictable even if you follow the weather channel. The conditions can change drastically and it's just very hard to prepare, but we are all faced with challenges and usually they are different with each draw. The one variable that we know is true is that it's going to be unpredictable! I'm feeling very good about this week. I had a great four rounds at the Barclays Scottish Open last week and it gave me a boost of confidence. I haven't had a solid four rounds of golf for several weeks, so it really felt nice to be back in contention. I played a practice round here at Turnberry last week -- it's going to be a tough four days but a challenge I'm ready to take. Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday to support my Foundation. I appreciate the support and it sounds like everyone had a good time. Awesome win by the Lions! I especially want to say thank you to the manager of my foundation, Geoff Hall, all the volunteers from Twin Waters Golf Club, YoungCare and Clayton Utz. As you know I can't be there in person for these special events and I truly appreciate everyone that makes these events possible. I'll be in touch after The Open! Until then, take care, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 8, 2009 Hello Everybody, I'm just getting ready to call it a night but wanted to post a blog entry for this week. I'm in Glasgow and will tee off at 12:40 p.m. tomorrow for the Barclays Scottish Open. I'm feeling good, and I have been practicing well. I enjoyed the Pro-Am today and look forward to getting back to competition tomorrow. The weather here has been cool with some rain and supposed to be partly cloudy tomorrow and more showers over the weekend. The field is always competitive and this year is no different -- 22 of the top 50 players in the world are here. Should make for an exciting tournament! I just want to remind everyone in Brisbane to go out and support the Lions this Saturday night! It should be a good time, and hopefully everyone can show support by making a contribution to my Foundation's major project, The Adam Scott Foundation Youngcare Apartments. Since I can't be there in person, I just want to say thank you in advance for your support! Have fun and enjoy the night! Until next time, take care. -Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 2, 2009 Hello Everybody, I'm at my home in Switzerland and enjoying the week. On Monday I played in an exhibition match against Henrik Stenson at Bastad Golf Club in Sweden. The event was held to help raise funds for the World Childhood Foundation. The Foundation supports more than 90 programs in 15 countries to help support children at risk around the world. It was a fun event and it was nice to be able to support the cause. CNN will be airing the match so I don't want to ruin it with giving you the results. Check your local listings on when it will be aired in your local area. I leave for Glasgow this weekend to get ready for the Barclays Scottish Open next week. I'm looking forward to getting back there and I always enjoy this tournament. I'll also be on The Cage Morning Show on MMM radio station in Brisbane on Monday. I'll be talking about an upcoming fundraising event on July 11th, Brisbane Lions vs. Geelong Cats Australian Football League game held The Gabba in Brisbane. A portion of the proceeds raised will support my foundation's main project, Adam Scott Foundation Youngcare Apartments. Please come out and cheer on the Lions and at the same time show your support for a worthy cause! I'll be cheering Roger Federer on this weekend and hoping he wins his 15th Grand Slam title. It's been a great Wimbledon and I was able to catch a few matches last week while I was in London. Weather was superb so I was able to get quite a bit of practice in as well. I'm off for now but will catch you all next week. Have a safe Fourth of July to everyone in the U.S.! -Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 26, 2009 I hope this blog finds everyone well. Sorry it's taken me a few days to post an entry this week. I was pretty exhausted after the U.S. Open. It was an interesting 5 days in Farmingdale. A lot of starts and stops and also long days. I sat in my hotel room for most the day on Thursday watching the television coverage and also the rain come down outside my window! It made for a long day so I was anxious to get started on Friday morning. I felt good after my first round and was striking the ball as well as I have for quite some time. It gave me a confidence boost which is exactly what I needed to start my second round less than 90 minutes later. I was able to play 11 holes in my second round before they called play due to darkness. Needless to say it was an exhausting way to start the tournament but I was pleased with my performance so I had some momentum going into Saturday. On Saturday we had an early tee time to finish our second round. I had a decent day but was feeling pretty tired so I went back to the hotel and got a little rest before we were called back out to start our third round around 5:30 p.m. We got a couple of holes in before the rain was back in full force and once again play was called for the night. The U.S. Open is always an interesting major and this year's weather made it even more interesting than usual!! More rain than I think I've ever even seen at The Open Championship! The USGA was faced with several challenges and for the most part got the course ready as best they could given the circumstances. I know the spectators were muddy from head to toe so thanks to everyone that came out and weathered the storm so to speak! Congratulations to Lucas on a great victory. I'm in Europe for the next few weeks. I'm spending some time with my Mum and it's been great since I don't get to see her very often. I'm also going to play in an exhibition match in Sweden against Henrik Stenson on Monday for charity. I'll let you know how it goes next week! I also want to announce our winners for our U.S. Open/Open Championship Trivia Contest from our June/July Clubhouse Newsletter. Congratulations to all the winners! Thanks to everyone that participated and be sure to sign up in the clubhouse section of my website to receive our newsletter! We will have more contests in the future so it's a fun way to share your golf knowledge and win some prizes. Shifting gears, I was saddened to hear about the two separate auto accidents that occured this past week involving family of two golfers. My thoughts and prayers go out to Chris Smith who lost his wife, Beth Smith, in a tragic automobile accident in Indiana. My thoughts are also with Skip Kendall who lost his mother in a separate car accident last week. Life is so very fragile and my thoughts are with both families during this difficult time. Until next time, take care. -Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 17, 2009 Hello Everybody: It's Wednesday evening in New York and the night before our second major of the year gets under way. The U.S. Open is always an interesting atmosphere, and this year is no different. The hustle and bustle of New York City has made its way to Farmingdale, N.Y.! The crowds have been electric since the gates opened at Bethpage State Park early on Monday morning. The New Yorkers have brought something special again this year, and it's evident they are very passionate about golf. The last year the U.S. Open was played here was 2002, and it's hard for me to believe I've been on TOUR long enough to be back here again! In some respects, 2002 seems like it was just yesterday, but then I have a look in the mirror and realize some time has passed, and I've actually become a better golfer. I am excited to have the opportunity that lies ahead, and I look forward to the official starter announcing my name on the first tee tomorrow at 1:25 p.m. ET and hearing the New York crowd in the background. Thanks to New York and everyone who is coming out tomorrow to support the greatest game ever played! Until next time, take care. -Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 10, 2009 Hello Everybody, I hope this blog entry finds everyone having a good week. I am in Europe and working hard on my game and getting ready for our second major of the year next week. I am getting back to the basics of my golf swing and keeping my focus on a more simple approach. I think I started to over-analyze certain aspects of my game which led to a lot of over-thinking. Every player and swing coach have various methods regarding the technical side of a golf swing, so what is good for one player doesn't necessarily translate to another player. I think Butch and I started to tweak too much and realize it's time to get back to what got me to No. 3 in the world. I am confident it's only a matter of time because the mechanics are all there. It's amazing how quickly things can turn in our sport. My thoughts and condolences are with Champions Tour player Ken Green and his family. Ken was involved in a tragic RV accident on Monday and everyone on the PGA TOUR is saddened by the news. I'll get to New York on Sunday and I'm looking forward to a good week ahead. Each of the four majors has a special quality, and the U.S. Open crowds are always electric. It will be great to be back at Bethpage Black. I look forward to seeing you in New York. Until next time, take care. -Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 3, 2009 Hello Everybody, I am heading to the airport to fly over to Columbus this afternoon. I feel like my game is coming back around and still working hard to get it back to where it needs to be. I enjoyed the time in Texas and feel confident things are getting better with each round I play. Jack Nicklaus always puts on a great tournament this week and I am excited to be a part of it again this year. Tomorrow is Military Appreciation Day which allows the military to come to the tournament with their immediate family free of charge. It's a great way to show support of all the women and men that risk their lives for our freedom and the troops from the many countries around the world working as one. I also wanted to remind everyone that this Sunday, June 7, CBS will be airing a TOUR charity show presented by Barclays. The show is scheduled to air prior to the final round coverage of the Memorial Tournament. It will highlight the PGA TOUR's numerous charity efforts and also charitable efforts by several players. I hope you tune in and see what some of us are up to off the course! On July 11, the Brisbane Lions, a new corporate partner to my foundation, play the Geelong Cats in an AFL game at the Gabba back home in Queensland, Australia. I am pleased to announce a portion of the proceeds will be donated directly to the Adam Scott Foundation. You can purchase tickets online through Ticketek at www.ticketek.com.au/lions09 or by visiting any Ticketek outlet. Come out and watch a great match and support a great cause. Go Lions! I need to get going. Have a great week and I'll be in touch soon. Until next time, take care. -- Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 26, 2009 Hello Everyone, I am in Fort Worth this week for the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. I've never played this event and I am excited to be here. I drove over from Irving on Saturday and have spent the last couple of days checking out the course. Needless to say another disappointing finish at the HP Byron Nelson Championship last week. I had two terrible holes on Friday and that cost me in making it to the weekend. I feel like my game is shaping up and feel like it's only a matter of time before it all comes together. Golf is about patience and my patience is definitely being tested at the moment. The news about Phil Mickelson's wife, Amy, hit everyone on TOUR and associated with golf really hard last week. My thoughts go out to Phil, Amy and their family. It really puts things in perspective and the news is a harsh reminder of how fragile life is. I look forward to a much better week ahead. Our next newsletter comes out on June 1, so be sure and get signed up in the clubhouse area of my website. Until next time, take care. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 19, 2009 Hello Everybody, I'm in transit today from Europe and will arrive in Dallas this afternoon. I had a good week off and had a few productive days of practice. I am looking forward to defending my title this week. It is a great venue, and the crowds always create an electric atmosphere. I feel honored to have won Byron Nelson's tournament. Mr. Nelson is one of the true legends of our sport, and perhaps he's best known as a true gentleman of the game. Mr. Nelson is an inspiration, and his legacy lives on in the lives of so many people he has touched. Shifting gears, our next Clubhouse Newsletter will be sent out on June 1. I just want to remind everyone to sign up in the Clubhouse section of my Web site to receive the bi-monthly newsletter. It's a detailed and informative way to keep you up-to-date on all the happenings on and off the golf course. We also include interactive contests and ways to win some pretty cool prizes. I also want to welcome Avondale Golf Club as a new partner to the Adam Scott Foundation. Avondale shares our vision, and we look forward to working together to make a difference in the lives of our youth. Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements on the partnership. A big thank you to Avondale for their support! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 12, 2009 Hello Everybody, I have had a bit of a rough go of it lately out on TOUR. I have been practicing hard and feel that I am hitting the ball really nicely, but for some reason, it's not translating in my results. I spent a fair amount of time with Butch last week and also over the weekend, and we made a few minor adjustments. Golf is a very fickle sport, and it only takes a minor thing in your alignment to throw it completely out of balance. I haven't really felt this way since I turned pro, so I'm working hard and getting back to the basics of how it all began. Sometimes that's all you need to do ... not only on the golf course but also in life. I'm in Europe this week and will get several days of practice in before I head back to the USA to defend my title next week. I am looking forward to the Texas crowds, and it's always a good feeling returning to a place where I've been successful. The atmosphere will get me fired up, and everyone is so friendly and welcoming in that part of the world. I will also be playing the Crowne Plaza at Colonial the following week in Ft. Worth. I am confident that I will get things turned around in the next few weeks. Until next time, take care. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 27, 2009 Hello Everybody, I hope everyone had a great weekend. I got to spend some time with my dad over the weekend in Florida and that was nice to catch up with him as it does not happen all that often given my schedule. The weather in West Palm has been very good so I have had a great several days of practice. I am hitting the ball well and genuinely feel that I am ready for this week. My level of consistency isn't quite where it needs to be but I am working hard to improve upon it this week. I'll leave for Charlotte in the morning and I have a practice round scheduled in the afternoon. It's a good week to get back out on TOUR and I'm looking forward to it. I think I need to let things fall into place, get back to basics and shoot some scores that reflect the way I feel! I look forward to seeing everyone at Quail Hollow this week. Until next time, take care. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope everyone's week is off to a good start. I am heading back to Florida and have a week full of practice scheduled. I'll be back out on TOUR next week at the Quail Hollow Championship. The field is always competitive, and I am sure it will be the same next week. The Quail Hollow Championship is one of the largest sporting events in Charlotte, and this year marks the seventh year. I look forward to seeing everyone out there next week. I also want to thank everyone who participated in the Adam Scott Foundation and Youngcare golf day yesterday. The event was held at Royal Queensland Golf Club, and all funds raised will go directly to our main project on the Gold Coast. Youngcare and my Foundation have partnered to build a 24-hour care facility on the Gold Coast in Australia . This facility will provide assistance and care for young people with debilitating injuries. Currently, the only option for these patients is elderly care facilities, so the need for such a facility is overwhelming. For more information on the project and how to get involved, please visit www.youngcare.com.au and www.adamscott.com.au. I appreciate everyone who participated in this worthwhile event and for making the event such a success! Until next time, take care. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 15, 2009 It was definitely an exciting finish on Sunday. The course setup this year was fantastic and as a result plays so differently from the start on Thursday to the finish on Sunday, which always creates a an interesting challenge. I was flying for most of the day but I was able to catch the last few holes. Angel, Chad and Kenny played very well and it will definitely be remembered as one of the most exciting finishes in Masters history. Congratulations to Angel! I am excited to announce the five winners of the Masters Trivia Contest published in the April 1st Clubhouse Newsletter. 1st Place: Christina Olson Congratulations to all of the winners and thank you to everyone that participated! We had a tremendous response and will be doing more interactive contests in future newsletters. Be sure to sign up for our bimonthly newsletter in the clubhouse section of my website. You must be registered to participate in future contests. I'll be in touch next week. Until next time, take care.

Hello, Everybody: I am on my way to the airport to fly over to Augusta. I have had a good week of practice and I am ready for the week ahead. I had a practice round at Augusta National last week and it was quite wet from all of the rain they had the previous day. The greens were crisp and will become quick as soon as they dry out a bit. Forecast is calling for cool temperatures at the beginning of the week and with the coldest day being Tuesday. Winds will also be gusty at times and I think anyone that has ever played there knows that can be somewhat tricky and just another added element to the week. Each year the Masters is made up of many special moments and this year is no different. I am especially excited to see my childhood golfing hero, Greg Norman, back at Augusta. The last time Greg played was my first year invited to the tournament. I played with Greg in a practice round that year and I remember sitting on the edge of the lake on the 11th green while he talked about his past experiences at The Masters. A memory that will last a lifetime. It is an interesting time of the year and something that is very special not only in the sport of golf but in all sport throughout the entire world. A tradition like no other. It is a great week and I am thrilled to be a part of it. -- Adam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 30, 2009
Hello, Everybody: I'm in Florida this week getting ready for our first major of the year. I will get over to Augusta this week for a practice round. I have heard the course is in good shape and I am really looking forward to making that drive up Magnolia Lane again. It's an amazing feeling and one that is special every time you do it. Needless to say I was disappointed with my play again last week. Things are clicking along and I'm confident it will all come together next week. Congratulations to Tiger for another amazing victory at Bay Hill on the 72nd. I want to remind everyone to sign up for our Clubhouse Newsletter.

| KPD investigating 4 car burglaries - Kerrville Daily Times Posted: 21 Aug 2009 09:21 PM PDT Kerrville Police Department officers arrested a 23-year-old Kerr County man on charges of credit card abuse after he allegedly broke into a vehicle in the Guadalupe River RV Resort, stealing a credit card and making unauthorized purchases. KPD officer Harry Holt was dispatched to the 2600 block of Junction Highway on Thursday morning at about 9:15. He met with a female complainant who stated two of her vehicles had been broken into and her purse, dayplanner and CDs had been stolen. The victim called her bank and was informed that her credit card had been used earlier that morning at a local auto parts store. Detectives went to the store and learned a white male in his late 20s had been in the store and attempted to use a credit card that was rejected by the computer. He then tried another card, which also was rejected. Store employees told police they had recommended the man go to another store and try the card there. Officers drove to the second store and learned a man matching the description given at the first store had been there several hours before. The employees stated the man bought parts for a 1984 Chevy pickup truck, before getting in a truck and driving away. They described the truck as a silver 1984 Chevy. As the officer was leaving the store, he noticed a 1984 Chevy matching the description pass him on Sidney Baker Street. He stopped the driver in the H-E-B parking lot, and noticed he had boxes of auto parts in the truck matching the description of items purchased with the stolen credit card. The man was placed under arrest and taken to the police station. While being questioned, the suspect volunteered information about several more vehicle break-ins that he was aware of, and to using the stolen credit card at several locations around town. About the same time as the interrogation was being completed at KPD headquarters, three more burglaries of motor vehicles were reported to the station from the Guadalupe River RV Resort. Several victims reported their vehicles had been burglarized. Among the items taken were a GPS navigational unit and CD cases. Police have yet to charge the suspect with the burglaries, and may charge him when more evidence is processed.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
