The Ryder Cup of Curling?
Ol' Dirty Tom Morris... just great.
The Hogan then Nike then Buy.com Tour is officially the Nationwide Tour now... and the Senior Tour will from now on referred to as the 'Champion's Tour' - and Hale Irwin feels like one... more here.
Tiger has been spotted in Michigan spitting out murky, brown water...
First Colin Montgomerie says he will no longer play in the US due to heckling issues, now he has announced plans to win one more big Euro event and then call it quits in general - taking solace in his Ryder Cup performance as "his major".
Controversy! -- Tiger Woods eschews the team uniform and headcovers and acts all subdued during Ryder Week so do you sit him next time?
Controversy! -- Champagne corks were flying as Tiger was putting - Sergio was all over the course - literally... but somehow we are to think that the European celebration is charming while similar behavior was evidence of "ugly Americanism" in '99?
A naked Parnevik and an earthquake kick off Ryder Cup week.
A Farmington, CT woman qualifies for a 2003 PGA Tour event... so many good players are from that area of the state.
However, she may not play for a variety of reasons... great foot in mouth quote by Davis Love at the end of the story too.
$128,874.44per event... compared to her peers she is better than Tiger when compared to his... Annika Sorenstam is on pace to break her own single season earning record and still is not getting any press coverage.
The very public fued between Martha Burk and Hootie Johnson has escalated in the past week - so far there are now no advertisements planned for the 2003 Masters telecast, and it has become obvious that Martha really needs to do her homework before taking her next step and going after CBS.
No Four-peat for you! was the cry heard as Craig Parry proved for the second week in a row that Tiger is beatable... it was his first win on the USPGA Tour in 236 tries.
"It will stink for a while" says Justin Leonard... come on guys (see below).
Can we get an F Bomb out of Mickelson? how about the less controversial "s" word... ass?...anything? bueller?
Last place at the British Open? ...2001 PGA Champion David Toms. Someone has to be there and it was still good for $13,141 - which should cover travel and lodging costs nicely.
Day one at the Open and Monty proclaims tht his chances are dead ...keep buggering on my man!
My new favorite article ...for some reason.
The Hogan/Nike/Buy.com Tour has a new name ...TBA - however it seems like the catchy "The PGA Tour Nationwide Series" has an early lead. It just rolls right off the tongue.
58 visas were granted to "golfers" from Nigeria and Ghana... to enter the UK to qualify for the Open Championship -- guess how many actually showed up at the course?
Now what? "Be Nice to DL3" pins? Although I do agree that many of the fans new to the game need an etiquette boot camp - just wait until it gets to the point where it is like he's trying to make a free throw at Cameron Indoor Stadium.( FYI - he went to Chapel Hill)
Is this season it for Arnie Palmer? This article with comments from the king - may leave us with just a few more events on the senior circuit and an epnoymal tasty beverage... (and Bay Hill too).
Spalding will introduce a Hogan ball next month called the Apex Tour for $58 a dozen... Haven't we seen the company go down this road before - and which ball will be cannibalized? The Strata Tour? Ultimate? Some will just not survive without Tour player support and from this release we see that all their players are already on this new ball.
An article that suggests Monty should get physical with his hecklers and pull a Greg Norman on them. Isn't having your caddie wear 2 "Be Nice To Monty" pins just an invitation for New Yorkers to really drop the hammer on him at the U.S. Open?
"Whining doesn't get the ball in the hole... so just shut up and play". Good stuff.

Bethpage Black... Allister Mackenzie for less than $40 per round... and it has always been tough to get a tee time. But not this tough - sleeping in your car for two days straight is no guarantee for golf now that the U.S. Open is right around the corner.
Someone recently paid $425,000 to play a round of golf with Tiger Woods (I do not even think he hangs out for a hot dog after the round)... now in a Willy Wonka -esque deal YOU have a chance of playing with him for free (if you find the golden ticket).
Big John Daly suffered a minor stroke from an allergic reaction to pyroxene... found in bananas, cheese, and certain diet pills.
The Tiger Woods credit card... member since '02. Click here to see and apply (if you are Canadian).
The LPGA is in a contraction phase that only Major League Baseball could love... the SPGA Seniors are losing events right and left... and yet we need another PGA Tour event with a guaranteed $1,000,000 prize? thank you, Wachovia.
