1200-fredrik-jacobson_1200

On January 23rd, and during the second round of the Humana Challenge, Freddie Jacobson three-putted the 16th hole. Since then, the Patriots have won another Super Bowl, Tiger Woods came back, left, and then came back again, oh and Jacobson hasn't had another three-putt.

In the second round of this past week's RBC Heritage, the Hobe Sound resident broke Luke Donald's record of 483 consecutive holes without a three putt. He didn't stop there though. He went all four rounds without a three putt and heading into his next event his total is at 524. Jacobson is first in three-putt avoidance at .65 percent (the tour average this season is three percent) and he's third in strokes gained/putting.

Jacobson will look to extend his record this week when he…

Fishing Outlook 4.17.15

OFFSHORE: The South Florida fishing action out deep has been a bit scattered far offshore. Closer in, is where you will find the best fishing action for the springtime. The sailfish bite seemed to slow down a bit due to the lack of current and greener waters. That could change any day as the current changes. The Cobia bite is really good in areas of the sand pile. Lots of fish around South Florida, especially near shallower wrecks in the 70’-90’ foot range. Live baits work outstanding such as crabs, pilchards, pinfish, mullet and shrimp.  On the deep side of the Juno Beach, Florida 180' ledge where is a mixed bag of fish and rudder fish and blue runners have tackled the area.

21 year old Jordan Spieth won the Masters this past weekend to earn his first major championship. In the process, he left golf staples such at Tiger Woods, Rory Mcllroy, and Phil Mickelson in his dust on Sunday, winning by four shots. It was a changing of the guard you could say.

One thing that stayed constant though, were the high viewership numbers for the West Palm Beach market. West Palm Beach, traditionally a strong marking for golf television viewership, ranked fifth nationally.

Overall, CBS saw some of its best viewership numbers for the Masters in several years. Saturday's viewership was up 48% over last year, while Sunday saw a 23% increase over 2014, when Bubba Watson cruised to an easy win on the back nine over Spieth.

This year's…
