Golf
Golf is a sport in which individual players or teams hit a ball into a hole using various clubs, and also is one of the few ball games that does not use a fixed standard playing area. It is defined in the Rules of Golf as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules." It is said that the first ever game of golf may have been played at the Bruntsfield Links in 1456, claimed by the history of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society. Golf, in essentially the form we know today, has been played on Scotland's Musselburgh Links since at least 1672, while variations of the game had been played throughout the British Isles and the Low Countries of northern Europe for several centuries before that.

Golf Channel's Highway 18
Did you watch the first episode of Highway 18? It was actually a lot of fun and a lot of heavy breathing :)
I had the privilege of interviewing Ashley and Ashleigh (the blonde leading the blonde) after the show to get their reaction to seeing themselves "in action". These ladies know how to have a good time. :)
I think this series is going to be a hoot.

Yardage books at course
Just curious how many of the courses most people play have a yardage book? I played a course today (Brookwood) that I could have definitely used one. Constantly off the tee I was walking out trying to find the flag and see what club I needed to tee off with. Is this how it normally is?

How long do I get at the turn?
I got up this morning at 6, and feeling unusually motivated I was at the course at 7 and played 9 holes before work. I finished at 9 am.
Now it is getting close to 5, and I'm thinking of going, playing the other 9, and submitting the 18-hole total for handicap purposes.
Can I do that?

Michelle Wie To Play On PGA Tour Again
After forgetting to sign her scorecard, Michelle Wie got disqualified from the State Farm classic last weekend. But that embarrassment is not enough to keep her down. Or, keep her focused on the LPGA. She simply refuses to concentrate on women’s competition alone. She announced yesterday that she would be going up against the men yet again at the Legends Reno – Tahoe Open later this month. This is the 8th time she has played on the PGA Tour.

My good pal Luke Swilor is finding his game
The last time my buddy Luke Swilor and I squared off in the famous “Guru/Swilor Three - The Redemption” match, Luke was not hitting on all cylinders. In fact, if he were a V6, I’d say four of his injectors were clogged.
Now Luke is on a roll, dropping rounds in the 60’s and notching [...]

Weather at Royal Birkdale was a horror show
Tools Sponsored by The clubhouse at Royal Birkdale is a sleek, white, art-deco structure that stands out amid the stately courses of upper-crust British golf clubs like Ian Poulter in an Amish village. But for this week’s wind-blown British Open, the R&A should have replaced the Birkdale clubhouse with the Bates Motel, because it was a horror show out there.

Top amateur Chris Wood smelling like a Rose
Tools Sponsored by SOUTHPORT, England — It’s Justin Rose all over again. As at Royal Birkdale in 1998, the winner of the Silver Medal for the best amateur finish in the 2008 British Open is an English lad who chipped in on 18 — this time in the second round, not on Sunday. Still, Chris Wood, 20, shot a two-over-par 72 in the final round to finish at 10 over and in a tie for fifth with Jim Furyk.

Harrington repeats at British Open and ends Norman’s dream
Tools Sponsored by SOUTHPORT, England — While the rest of the field wore layers, Padraig Harrington wore shirtsleeves at Royal Birkdale on Sunday. He has convinced himself that terrible conditions are inhospitable only for everyone else, turning himself into a sort of golfing Wall-E who eats up garbage (wind, rain, rough) and spits out pars.
