Chevez is an unbelievable fool, and he makes a fit symbol for all that is wrong with centralized communist governments. He also dislikes golf.

Anyone ride road bikes? I have a decent mountain bike, and used to ride road bikes a long time ago, but haven't for at least a decade. Maybe it was watching the Tour, maybe it is my ever continuing battle against enui, but lately I find myself getting revved up again about road bikes. I was...
So I was surprised on one has posted about this, although it is slightly absurd which may explain why no one has bothered to get involved. Anyway, a recent AP article does a good job of putting the players in their appropriate light. There are lots of funny elements to the developing feud...
A couple weekends ago was one of the first this Summer that wasn't rained out. So we packed up the mutt, no offense Max, and drove the 35 minutes up Hwy 50 to Quiet Waters park. The park sits on an inlet off the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis, and features a 70 yard stretch of beach devoted...
Here is the take of some of the golf writers for SI on Bivens, her leadership, her chances for survival, and the situation facing the LPGA. I enjoyed both the Yellow Tail and Corleone references. :D

Andy,
From time to time I have this problem. Here's what it feels like: During the downswing, I attempt to turn my shoulders and torso around my spine. However, I find myself thrusting my target-side hip down the line, which tilts my shoulders back (i.e., away from the target) and off their...
(Yes, Claire, there are in fact two Garys who own the vineyard used in this wine.)
So I've heard that 2007 may have been the best year for Cali pinot since they started making it. I like Loring's stuff, though I usually let it age a while before opening. Well, got an invite to a friend's...
Ha, fooled you. I don't have them, because I can't find them anywhere. If someone knows where they are posted, let me know. The USGA site sucks.
That said, Twitter has informed me that the following players either did or did not survive today's 36 holes (and apparently at least a 2 hole...
A video at GolfWeek in which Yani Tseng gives a tour of the home she bought recently from Annika at Lake Nona in Florida. Really hard not to like Yani; she's got such a vibrant personality, and just kills the ball. Her caddy looks rather cute, too (see below)...
I think she comes off reasonably well in this interview, but she really is a bit of a theorist. Not a lot of personality. Hope her gamble pays off:

{Surprised this thread hasn't been started, so if I missed it, please merge.}
So, dip that I am, I had no idea that Havre de Grace is within driving distance to me in Washington, DC. According to Mapquest, the supergirls will be 66.30 miles from my front door. That's about an hour and a half...
So I found one of these in my bag the other day, meaning I must have picked it up on the course during a recent round:
Mine is yellow. But I noticed it because it looked slightly smaller in diameter when held next to a regulation ball, and I gathered that "Robinhood" suggested it's designed...
As I mentioned in another thread, a friend who is a big wino recently got hitched, and as a result had to divest himself of some of his more bulky appliances, including his awesome EuroCave cooler. Nice guy that I am, I turned his loss into my gain and picked it up for a measly $100. (This...

Wifey and I, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of our mutual binding, decided a day off from work to play golf together at a good course was in order. Several of my friends strongly recommended Whiskey Creek Golf Club, a high-end...
Alright gents, as I said elsewhere, I failed in my efforts to become a Single Malt swiller extraordinaire (which thrills the Wifey to be honest), but there are a couple cigar shops near my office, and with all my virtues I could use some countervailing cardinal vices, so let's say I'm intrigued...
I thought this was amusing, and decided to pass it along. When I hit the "new posts" link just now, the following thread titles popped up in a row. It is a little bit "R" rated, so for your protection, I put it in spoilers.
Anyway, reading from top to bottom, it could almost pass for...
Just received this month's issue of Golf Magazine, and in the middle there is a two-page advertising spread from Callaway with full page photos of two of my favored LPGA players: Morgan Pressel and Vicky Hurst. The two captions read:
Under Pressel:
"We make clubs for the best golfers in the...
