Boo Weekly missed a three-foot putt on the final hole at The Honda Classic on Sunday to blow an opportunity to win his first PGA Tour event. The Golf Channel aired coverage this morning at 8:30, and by 9:00 it was obvious Boo wouldn’t redeem himself.<\/p>\n

This week we have a recap of The Honda Classic, the greatest streak ever, and a story about a tennis pro turned golfer that is truly unbelievable.
\n
\nHole 1: Same Time Tomorrow<\/strong>
\nBoo Weekly missed a three-foot, three-inch putt in his quest for his first PGA Tour victory. Now he gets to have a little extra fun on Monday with Camilo Villegas, Mark Wilson and Jose Coceres. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 2: Vroom, Vroom<\/strong>
\nThe Honda Classic has moved to the Champion Course at the PGA National Resort and Spa in West Palm Beach, FL. Depending on the time of year, you too can play this course for as little as $115. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 3: Your What Hurts?<\/strong>
\nJohn Daly withdrew from the Honda Classic due to injury after stopping mid-swing because a spectator snapped his picture. Darn those paying customers! [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 4: The Big Callaway<\/strong>
\nErnie Els is the newest golfer to jump to a new equipment company after leaving Titleist to play with Phil the Thrill at Callaway. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 5: Greatest Streak?<\/strong>
\nDick Friedman argues that Byron Nelson’s streak of 11 straight PGA Tour victories is the greatest streak in sports. For me, Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak is the greatest. Let the debate begin. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 6: Big Break Retreads<\/strong>
\nIn a great show of originality, the Golf Channel gathered up a bunch of “memorable characters” from the previous six seasons. Great, more whiny personalities and bad golf. I think I’ll go watch C-Span instead. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 7: Career Change <\/strong>
\nScott Draper was a tennis star in the making until Obsessive Compulsive Disorder took over his life. Now he is trying to make it to the PGA Tour. His life story is better than any fiction you may read. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 8: Tiger’s Tourney<\/strong>
\nSo let me get this straight, he won’t play the International but it’s ok to host his own PGA Tour event in Washington, D.C. on the same weekend? [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Hole 9: Productivity Drain<\/strong>
\nThe Masters has added additional coverage on their website for this year so you can get less done at work. [Link<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
