Ahh, Twitter. The current Internet sensation. Google and Facebook, all wrapped in one 140 character text band that allows people to chat up just about any subject (even though it seems most subjects revolve around Jay-Z).

This year has been a banner one for Twitter, with athletes by the busload joining the site and sharing info we have never received from athletes. (Want proof? I stalked Shaquille O'Neal once because of his Twitter, and wrote about it.)

The PGA and LPGA Tour have been no different, with golfers from all over sharing photos of themselves working out, their random hairstyles and even the enjoyment of a pro-am round. So, who is the best Tweeter of '09?

The saying goes, "I'd rather be lucky than good," and anyone that has been paired with a random twosome on a beautiful summer day has probably heard it after a bounce goes their way or a high lip decides to let the ball in the side-door.

On the PGA Tour, that saying holds true just like for any hacker -- a guy hits a poor tee shot only to have it kick off the lip of the bunker, roll through the second cut and find itself perched up in the fairway, awaiting a short iron to set up another birdie. The biggest breaks usually come in the biggest tournaments, and 2009 was no different. So what was the luckiest break of the year?

Golf fashion isn't what it used to be. Tweed sweaters ... ties ... the Payne Stewart look? Yeah, they've all given way to tighter fitting, large belt-buckling looks that show off the fitness that has become as popular on the PGA Tour as Golf Pride grips. So who is the best dressed golfer in the game? Since I'm not necessarily what you'd call a fashion expert, I turned to my good friend, and golf fashion expert, Patricia Hannigan of The Golf Girl's Diary, to tell me who should be crowned "Best Dressed."

Thousands of shots are hit on the PGA Tour each week, so to look at the entire year and dissect the best one might seem difficult. Sure, there was that pure 5-iron someone snuggled up next to the pin at the FBR Open, or the long putt drained for an eagle, but what shot was great and influential?

Starting on Thursday, we will begin pumping out the awards, but wanted to give the readers a chance to toss in anything they wanted voted on/brought up. Have a good idea? Toss it in the comments, and we will work it into the feature as we approach the end of the season.

Thursday will be the first feature of The Green Jacket, and we will start it off with a bang. Best golf shot of the 2009 season. Enjoy.
