Senior Open at Whistling Straits and Michelle Wie's Principal

Two quick thoughts: The Kohler / Whistling Straits website is the best one I have seen for bringing you closer to the action. The hole-by-hole profiles take place in the main window, with no p.i.t.a pop-opens or shrunken hooey. Each hole of the course has a real-world flyover from behind the tee to the green (no Second Life pseudo crap.) And just in case you don’t know the best way to play the hole, architect Pete Dye gives you his tips on how to navigate safely through the dunes, wetlands, and other frights of the Straits course.

On the Jim Rome show today, the Sklar Brothers had an absolutely hilarious take with the Principal of Punahou School, Al Neiman. Sitting in for Jim Rome, the hermanos brought in this rogue fake director of Michelle Wie’s school, and grilled him on why he harbors a grudge against Wie. Dude starts squawking about his cousin, twice removed, named Ron (coincidence? I think not!) who is a local pro, and is getting screwed out of invites thanks to Wie. Elaboration on Wie not showing up for the freshman spaghetti dinner, blowing off her prom date, and other hijinks capped it off. Best line from Mr. Nieman: “I’m her principal, not her princi-PAL.” Bravo, Brothers Sklar!
