The PGA Tour season returns to the mainland and is in full swing with the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (hey, a Phil Michelson sighting!) where you not only get to watch Tour players but you also get to watch the celebrities show off their golf games as well.
This week we have a recap of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, the rumors of Annika’s retirement, and the MIT crew getting involved in golf technology.

Charlie Hoffman built up a small fan base last year, with his crazy hair, his unique black X Scotty Cameron putter, and his ever-present smile. A Sunday eagle at the 18th helped him notch his first PGA Tour win. [Link]
