U.S. Open the best golf tournament of 2006? Try Hoylake, Shackelford says

Golf blogger Geoff Shackelford says Tiger Woods’ artful display in the 2006 British Open at Royal Liverpool made it a lot more exciting than the 2006 U.S. Open, in part due to “Winged Foot’s anti-birdie setup.” The U.S. Open was “train wreck golf,” Shack writes.

This counters what CNNSi.com’s Gary Van Sickle wrote (though VS did give second-place props to the British Open). Meanwhile, you might remember, Shanks said the tourney of 2006 was played by women golfers: The Kraft Nabisco Championship at Mission Hills Country Club, won by Karrie Webb.

Lastly, The Florida Masochist posts his top golf newsmakers of 2006. (Don’t ask how I stumbled across this blog ….. good stuff, though.)

Nice call on the FM...his blog reminds me of how I felt when I stumbled onto JamBoy a few years back. Untamed, uncharted, unshackeled. Do I pass the 5th grade spelling test? Give me the top 25 list (or even the top two list) that doesn't p%$s someone off, and you'll be my hero.
