A ton of people have left some pretty crazy things in golf carts. Here&#8217;s a pretty entertaining story from the perspective of the guys who find the forgotten items.

The game is just a chronic pain in the ass. Speaking of chronic pain, the author of this article has found a new way to practice golf that relates to his experiences with chronic pain.

The same really can&#8217;t be said about BJ Wie, but it is interesting watching how her parents influence her and her goals (something we never really witnessed with Tiger). This article is a week old, but its still a good read. [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelgolf.com\/blogs\/chris.baldwin\/2006\/05\/14\/b_j_wie_versus_earl_woods_will_they_ever\" title=\"Earl Vs.
