In response to: On your PGA Championship office pool, did you give Tiger Woods a chance to win?

Craig D. [Visitor]
He probably won't do well, but I hope he does. He has a presence that golf needs. I agree he needs to continue to clean up his act.

Ron Mon [Member]
Nope...He might drive the ball in the fairway for 1 or 2 rounds, but he ain't gettin' it done for all 72 holes. Add to that the entire "getting your mind back in it" element and he might be good to make the cut and finish top 30...if he does better, he's a magician.

What is the best acne product to use in my situation? The past year I've been using Pro Active and it has cleared up my skin but then it stopped curing my skin when I had little acne left. I didn't have a lot of acne left so I thought i would try and use Murad. I have used it for a month and I'm getting more acne. I get a lot of whiteheads out of no where like everyday.

This sounds great but as I am based in the UK I will just have to settle for the tiger woods show. Its a shrewd move from Tiger as he will get protected there more so than any where else. I cant see that happening when he comes over for the Ryder Cup.

I've played Ushuaia Golf Course in Argentina...a casual 9-hole track easily accessible from any of the cruise ships that stop there i.e. Crystal.
Mountains all around, brooks, dirt road leading in. Had to track down pro to open small but new clubhouse. He was out doing maintenance.

smudge [Visitor]
If you haven't played Kingsbarns you have not lived. What it lacks in history and the fact it is not a true links, it makes up for in spades in beauty and playability. It truly is magnificent. I played it along with the Jubilee at St Andrews, The Old Course, Carnoustie, Old Prestwick, Royal Troon and Wester Gailes. They were all equally fantastic but Kinsbarns is by far the most beautiful course I've ever seen. Puts little Pebble Beach to shame.

James Simmons [Visitor]
I've seen Charles play, and he does suck, but that's no reason so say golf is no fun. Charles, if you want to get better work at it (get a good coach), but even if you don't, just enjoy your time out on the course; That alone makes it worthwhile.

Saginaw Mike [Visitor]
Talk about suck at golf, I'm an honest 36 (only because my group has a limit) but there is nothing like being out with friends or family and reaching a 395 yarder in 2, lipping the 10 footer and have to settle for a tap-in 4. Kinda makes up for the last 6 holes when you pick-up after reaching double-par.

With you, boss. I myself do not suck, but have friends who enjoy the game and do suck. The hardest part for them is to realize they can play with someone with skill and still have a good time. That's why we have handicaps and all those other crazy-a games, to keep it interesting.

In response to: Vote now to get golf into the Olympic Games in 2016

Paul [Visitor]
Golf is played throughout the world and by all nations - why would it not be included.

Interesting scenario from Andy ref amateurs. Lots of boxers that go on to win Olympic gold tend to go pro soon after - I'm sure golf would be the same if it was restricted.

My other sport of bowls would also like to be included in the Olympics, but as it is not played worldwide there is little chance. I know my good friend Gary Smith, chairman of World Bowls, is working hard on it, but I feel it will not happen.

I hope golf is more successful.

The real reason for this push is to open up funding for national golf programs. Many nations do not dedicate funds to sports unless they are recognized Olympic events.

Andy Browm [Visitor]
Here is an interesting question, while golf is making a fervent bid to get itself into the Olympics, and when I say golf, I mean anyone and everyone involved with the game, the point is what if the authorities decide to include the sport but open it only to amateurs. It would be what you call an anti climax. But, if you take a closer look at the scenario, they might quite do it. The Asian Games has had golf on board since the 1982 games in New Delhi but ever since the first time it was included it has only been open to amateurs and the countries involved have had to send teams made up of amateurs. I don’t quite understand the logic behind that. That has also been the case with boxing where some countries only allow amateurs to take part which kind of means those trying to make a living out of the sport never get to take part in such events.

I hope, while we continue our attempt to make golf a part of the Olympics, it should be able to ensure that the likes of Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Tiger Woods get to be a part of it. It shouldn’t be used as a platform by talented youngsters across the world looking to make a mark in the biggest sporting spectacle before they decide to turn pro.

Cheers

Andy

Now that is an interesting observation. 900 miles seems a quite a long distance. Do you want to say by the time the golfer has travelled 41 miles, he has consumed 1 gallon of alcohol?
