I don't know John Coyne. I knew a Kevin Coyne once, but he was from Rochester and spoke too fast, too young... I'd heard of John's brother, Tom Coyne; he's the fellow who walked around Ireland, playing golf. Understand, he didn't ride anywhere, just wa… more »

In honor of the unavoidable catastrophe to befall the European side at this year's Ryder Cup, I honor the champion USA side with the following rip-off, dedicated to USA Captain Paul Azinger. It is appropriate that the matches be played at Valhalla, for… more »

As a lad growing up in urban suburbia, I routinely tuned in on Saturday nights to Hee-Haw, a great television diversion from homework and chores. I recall the strands of a particular song that proclaimed "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at… more »

...or stay ahead of that freight train! Morgan Pressel, invisible since last year's gift Nabisco championship (thank you, Santa Pettersen! appears bent on reclaiming her "I'm really better than Michelle" status.

It seems that the folks at Sawgrass are not averse to low scores, unlike their neighbors to the (barely) north. Forget Augusta National; they had their 70 years as a major...there's more drama on the final 3 at TPC, anyway. We all like the US and Briti… more »
