I'm not a big fan of twitter, but it's apparently the new hotness and I'm going to use it's instant gratification technology to benefit our local sports fans.

Starting Friday with the Flowery Branch girls playoff game against Spalding, I will be providing live updates via twitter. I will continue this Monday when I head to the state golf tournament in some place called Waynesboro.

If you don't have a twitter account, it's free, so sign up today. All your friends are doing it.

Once you're on there you can follow me. My user name is jzopf.
