Ego-maniac that I am, the wry smile you see when you read my blog just wasn't enough. I found a local camera guy (little Mon) and a closed state park course nearby, and went out for a few holes on Tiger's birthday. The cameralad did his job, so let's h… more »

In an unanticipated collision of time, space, and Ziparelli, a review-only copy of the Kingdom Of Shivas Irons made its way to my holiday basket in 2006. Inspired by the maniacal, somewhat homo-erotic pursuit of Shivas Irons, I joined a car to a train o… more »

So Terrell Owens hocks a loogie in the face of DeAngelo Hall...they kiss and make up.
So Zinedine Zidane head-butts Marco Materazzi in the chest in World Cup soccer...Zidane's mamma wants to cut MM's M&Ms off.
Could this happen on the PGA Tour?… more »

For the first time in my lifetime (and probably the last), two golfers were named Associated Press athletes of the year. Lorena Ochoa is the bigger surprise, in that no other female athlete seemed to receive as much coverage for what she did. What she… more »

"PLEASE KILL ME NOW
Recreational golfer Tom Kenney took a mulligan after he was unable to find his tee shot on the 370-yard 18th hole at Batavia (N.Y.) Country Club, thus wiping out the hole in one he had just scored."

I have a friend who recently accomplished a unique feat: rounds of golf in each of the 12 calendar months in western New York. He did not set out to achieve this notoriety, but when unseasonable days in January and February presented themselves, the no… more »

It turns out that in Idaho, a course called Osprey Meadows was designed by the Robert Trent Jones, jr. firm. It turns out that an Osprey is a type of bird, and a Meadow is a flatland with flora and fauna. It turns out that Golf Digest's panel of course… more »

It's beginning to sound like the opening to an old joke, but I have yet to figure out the punch line. Why can't we play foursomes? Ryder Cup? Nope. Presidents' Cup? Uh-uh. World Cup? 'Course not. Latest evidence presented by the prosecution: 200… more »

"The punishing schedule that Kevin Stadler has followed this year has taken its toll. More than 30 tournaments in countries as far apart as New Zealand and Scotland represent a lot of golf. So it is little wonder that Stadler missed his past two cuts, at… more »

With more than a hint of bitterness, I embark upon this blog. This blog, about a golf course that I will never play, assesses the enigma that is the Tiger formerly known as Eldrick. To borrow a few bars from a sports illustrated article on the next cou… more »

"Where are the LPGA fans obsessed with their tour’s Chris DiMarco equivalent?"
This quote, from a recent Chris Baldwin Blog, got me thinking lately. Heck, it even distracted me from my alma mater's great win in the ACC football championship. Doubl… more »

A poor young man failed in his attempt to sue a school district for the right to compete as a male on a female interscholastic athletic team. This hearkens back to Brian Kontak's bragadaccio about participating in the US Women's Open with his wee-wee in… more »

This is almost laughable. Is Carolyn Bivens broke already? Can't LPGA.Com afford real-time scoring for their Q-School? Around the corner at PGATour.com, the scoring system is the same as for any weekly event. The ladies are reduced to posting PDFs ea… more »

Sometimes numbers lie. If they don't lie, they certainly don't tell the whole story. I've spent the better part of 2006 using Steven Bowditch' misfortunes as fodder for at least one blog per month. You'd think I might have dug a little deeper, imagine… more »

Weep for Steven Bowditch on this Thanksgiving Saturday. In contention at the MasterCard Masters, the lad from NZ roared into contention with 68-69. For those who did not follow in 2006, it was the stuff of nightmares.
This is the guy who blows… more »
