This week, golf blogs and golf news sites from around the net are going nuts with everything from Wie stories to the British Open hoopla. Here’s linkage of that, with some other non-sense thrown in.
Also, Daily Golf Jokes had a great joke posted today.
One mid-afternoon on a sunny day, a golfer teed up his ball. After a few practice swings, he steps up to his ball and gets ready to drive the first hole. Just before he swings, a woman in a wedding gown comes running up from the parking lot. She’s got tears streaming down her face. Just as she reaches the raised tee, she screams out, “I can’t believe it! How could you do that?” The golfer calmly takes a swing and drives the ball straight down the fairway. He looks at the woman, as he puts his driver back in his bag and says, “Hey… I said ‘only if it’s raining.'”

Love him or hate him, Jack Nicklaus is a golfing legend. On the eve of his last British Open, Golf Digest asks, if this is really the end? [link]
Hole 3: Jail Birdie
Jail-Birdie. This course in Louisiana was constructed by inmates and designed by the prison dentist. For a second, I thought jail may not be that bad… until I read that the prisoners aren’t allowed to play. Check out the tee markers, classic. [link]

Hole 5: HX Hot Hot Hot
I’m not a Callaway player but boy would I have loved to have been the winner of this car, not to mention a year supply of HX Hot balls. [link]
Hole 6: Pink Cream
What a weird nightmare this would be. Okay, maybe it wouldn’t really be a nightmare with Paula Creamer in it. Giant swinging headcovers and Paula Creamer, every golfer’s fantasy. [link]
Hole 7: BO Pairings
This is the most amusing list of Open pairings I could find. My favorite is the Temperamental pairing of Pat Perez, Graeme Storm, Peter Fowler. [link]
Hole 8: Girl Go Home?
Maybe Michelle Wie should take a break from golf and stick to talking on the phone with her girlfriends like a normal 15 year old girl. [link]
Hole 9: Camo Balls
Can you imagine trying to find these balls in the woods? It’s hard for me to even find white balls in the rough. I may order some of these just for the hell of it. [link]
