Way To Go Bubba!
Congrats to Bubba Watson on his emotional victory at last week's Transitions Championship. Starting the day six shots back, Watson rallied to tie Corey Pavin and Scott Verplank. Watson won on the second playoff hole.
We featured Watson on the cover of our Golf Tips Annual late last year. Inside he wrote about how he generates his incredible length. (Watson currently leads the Tour in Driving Distance, averaging 305.9 yards per drive.) See his story here.

Erica Blasberg, 1984-2010
We've just learned that LPGA Tour player Erica Blasberg passed away yesterday at her home in Henderson, NV. No details have been released.
Golf Tips readers will remember the 25 year-old from our 2009 Tips from the Tour issue.
Although I only met Erica once, she made a big impression on me. She was kind, enthusiastic and energetic. She brought us great ideas, but more than anything, her personality really shined through. She was quick to laugh and incredibly patient with all the laborious technical requirements that take place on a typical photo shoot. (If I recall she hadn't slept much the night before, having flown back from a tournament in Mexico.) Never once did she complain about the long day. She was a true professional.
It was easy to see why she'd won so much respect and adoration from fans. She won over one more that day.
We will sorely miss her.

Straight Down the Middle
It's self-promotion Thursday here at GT.
This week, we're proud to announce the release of Josh Karp's latest book, "Straight Down the Middle: Shivas Irons, Bagger Vance, and How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Golf Swing." Karp is Golf Tips' newest contributor, and the funnyman behind our "Please Explain" column. (We've given him the unenviable task of digging up obscure information about rules, statistics and popular golf swing theories, and somehow Karp manages to make them read like a Woody Allen sketch.)
In "Straight Down the Middle," the native Chicagoan travels the country seeking advice from non-traditional instructors (a guy who has a range set up in his basement, a yogi, a martial arts sensei...the list goes on) with the hope of lowering his handicap and quieting his demons. Does he manage to pull off his 2 for 1 special? Who cares? It's a rollicking road trip and Karp is just the kind of driver you want behind the wheel, although you may get into a few minor fender benders along the way.
Wear your seat belt and enjoy the trip.
