Three years ago today, I submitted my first post at the original Hound Dog's LPGA Blog - a final round recap of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic which was rather Gulbis-centric, considering that Natalie didn't win.

No, I didn't think then that I would still be doing this three years later.  Surely somebody would have run me off before that much time passed.  Fortunately the exact opposite has occurred - all of you who take the time to visit the site, comment and send the occasional e-mail have made it clear that this venture IS worthwhile.  I still enjoy writing it just as much as I did when I started and the feedback is a wonderful bonus.

Thanks for reading and if you're so inclined, hoist one in honor of the HDLPGA tonight.  I certainly will, probably around 5pm.
