Somewhere I can polish up my stroke and chipping prowess. Too bad I don&#8217;t have enough real estate for this sort of green, but a boy can dream can&#8217;t he?

It has an interesting perspective and I found it to be an enjoyable read. We&#8217;ll see today if Wie can qualify for the U.S. Open.

I found this golf-related entry to be pretty entertaining, thought everyone else would like a look at it. There are a few terms I&#8217;ve never ever heard of.

This was quickly cured as I looked into my mirror and reveled in the horrible transition between my very very dark forearms and my milky-white biceps. The google search for &#8220;golfer tan&#8221; returned a ton of results, this one was the best.

Let me tell you one thing about caddying in a scramble: it&#8217;s horrible. The round lasts forever. You&#8217;ve gotta track down three balls that your group isn&#8217;t even going to use.

The U.S. Open is so close I can taste it and I can&#8217;t wait to see Tiger again. The thing is though, will he bring his game? You can be certain he hasn&#8217;t been sitting on his ass for all this time, but will he be sharp? This article take a look inside this issue.
