Join us as we take a tour on the PGA Tour with Parker McLachlin, a former Punahou athlete. McLachlin earned his PGA Tour card for this season. He joins Castle alum Dean Wilson as the only Hawai'i golfers on the PGA Tour. McLachlin, Waikoloa's touring pro, will write his impressions on events that he's just completed and tournaments that are upcoming on his calendar.

Aloha.

After a few weeks off it was nice to get back on the PGA Tour and into competition at the Shell Houston Open. Outside of the Sony Open, this was one of the better run tournaments.

One of the highlights was that I met former President George Bush in the player dining area Friday. My wife and I came in to eat lunch, and sat down next to a big table in the corner. As we were eating, I looked over to the next table and noticed security guys standing around. We were wondering what was going on. Next thing I know, there was George Bush eating. After he finished, he came over and introduced himself to me. I introduced my wife to him, and he brought Barbara Bush over and said "Now, this is my silver fox." I had to smile. That was cool.

As far as the golf went, I played well and made the cut. It was good to make a cut after missing a few. I think with each tournament and each four-day experience you build a little confidence and feel a little more comfortable in the environment.

Most of the week I kept getting called Adam Scott. It must have happened seven or eight times. Everyone kept saying, "Thank you, Adam" to me after I signed their stuff. Then, of course, Adam ends up winning the tournament. Now I'm thinking there are a lot of fans who had me autograph their stuff during the tournament and think they have a hat or a program signed by the winner.

After the tournament, we did a one-day trip to Atlanta for the NCAA National Championship. Our morning was spent visiting the headquarters of my agency, and participating in a photo shoot for some of my sponsors.

This week I'm back in Arizona, doing a photo shoot and Tips Segment for GolfWeek. I'm looking forward to the experience. I'll also be watching the Masters with high interest. If Tiger doesn't win, I like Aaron Oberholser and Brett Wetterich as my sleepers.
