FTVLive is hopping in the The FTVLive Thunder Hummer (take that CNN) and making the 6 hour drive down to southwest Florida, for what is likely my last golf tournament of the year.
I qualified for the Florida State Mid-Am which unfortunately is down in Sarasota. It's a very long, very boring drive.
Like we say, the old people live in Florida, their parents live in Sarasota.
The FTVLive Intern will be stepping in to take you through the rest of the week. Feel free to continue to email your stories and tips.
While I'm gone, try to be nice to each other and don't post any smiling selfies from murder scenes.
