One of my favorite e-newsletters is a new one from the folks at The Wire. It's called Tour Van, and gives you a synopsis of what each week's winners on most of the major tours were playing. Check out Nick Watney's bag last week: Driver: Titleist Pro T… more »

It's funny how one thing leads to another. I was reading the results of the ACC golf championship (see my penultimate blog entry) and started looking for Michael Quagliano on the Duke side. Seems like dude didn't make the starting five for the Blue Dev… more »

I'll try my best to be pithy... Blog o' the weekend...Beverly Ferguson on wind. It killed Davies and Ochoa in Florida, and delayed Heritage to Monday. Glad I learned to hit knockdown shots as a kid. Early call for British Open underdog...Markus B… more »
