Woke up 4:45, in lot by 6. Was responsibly irresponsible with merch. Tried pimento cheese. Saw every hole. Hung at the range. Watched pros skip balls on 16. Saw the spots where the most famous shots in golf were hit. Marveled at everything. First Masters trip was unforgettable.

And hopefully all their coaches made sure to contact the Journal and report results

MHS Islander Athletics @MPSRI_Athletics

Great opening day for Islander Spring sports! Baseball beats Burrillville, Softball beats Juanita Sanchez and Girls Lacrosse beats Mt. Hope…oh and Boys Lacrosse beat Smithfield last night too! Now get us some warmer weather SOON. #WeAreIslanders @EricRueb

This will print tomorrow, but you can read it now. Moses Brown's Lauren Bousquet played the best game in the history of RIIL boys or girls basketball, but that's hardly what makes her a special player. My column explains. https://t.co/00ZTk5fAza

Girls lax will be out later this afternoon, but we've got softball power rankings out and I've noticed I need to be more creative with my photo selection https://t.co/pvSgLQP36B

Power rankings are also going to be a weekly part of high school coverage, giving readers a chance to see which teams are playing well and what the big matchups are for the week. Boys lacrosse dropped this morning. My No. 1 will SHOCK you. https://t.co/Ly9FBUXmYQ

We also wanted to see which softball communities will get behind their players the most by voting for the Providence Journal Preseason Player of the Year. https://t.co/TgsHVAgh37

Today we've got a breakdown of the teams and 10 players to watch our for in Division II softball. If you don't click this you're a crazy person. https://t.co/3Znasp9G6u

As part of our Division I softball coverage, we've also got a list of the 10 players to watch this spring and yes, I definitely cheated to get to 10. https://t.co/uTAAppv7JG

Softball Previews will drop all week, starting with Division I. You can find analysis of the teams here https://t.co/ZX915AqJ4U

Unloaded the content clip this week. Wrapped up winter coverage with a notebook that touches on: -Why the RIIL needs to rethink host sites for hoops -The man behind the state swim meet retires -Notes on Unified sports, Pawtucket's future and more. https://t.co/THEDauapWO

WTF. Nobody sent me the memo. Feel like I’m always getting left out of these things.

Patricia Morgan @repmorgan

Ever hear the media expose the waste, incompetence or abuse from Democrat politicians? No, you did not because the media is made up of grifting con artists whose only role in life is to prop up the Democratic Party.

Goo/Gool is correct, Base was also used. My kid’s class calls it the “safety zone” so tomorrow I’m making her change it

Jimmy Scotland @JimmyScotland

@EricRueb Definitely gool. 1.) what was the other answer that you had in mind? BC I’m also remembering a second, and 2.) what does the youth call it today?

When you were a kid and played tag at recess, where was the place you could go where you were safe from being tagged? There’s two correct answers and my kid’s class calls it neither

Sad to see this news, but happy for Phil. He reached out when my wife was in the hospital and I’ll tell you what - she thought it was pretty cool that a college basketball coach would ask about her. Phil’s a great dude, great family, and his career is only getting started.

Sources: VCU is targeting Bryant coach Phil Martelli Jr. to be the school’s next coach. A deal is expected to come together in the near future. He's 43-25 in two seasons at Bryant and led them to the NCAA Tournament this year. https://t.co/PBJz8BVcOu

The meeting room at the RIIL was packed - and not because people were interested in state golf talk. Protesters showed up to talk about trans rights and made sure their voices were heard. https://t.co/lq1vCOlUAK

Quick correction here - the policy was changed, but it was not because of the federal guidelines. Misinterpretation on my end there.

A group protesting for trans students rights have showed up to the RIIL offices for today’s PCOA meeting after the league changed its policy on transgender athletes to be in line with federal guidelines. https://t.co/J0BPzbnKyb
