They&#8217;re anxious to see what we&#8217;ve selected for this week&#8217;s edition. So, all you guys playing poker in the locker room, count your chips and take a break, cause here&#8217;s volume two.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>Ringy-Dingy<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat do you think will happen if you take a cellphone to a golf tournament and it rings in Tiger&#8217;s backswing? I&#8217;ve got $50 on Stevie Williams doing the funky chicken dance after he elbow drops your phone.

He could spend his free time putting on the carpet of the Oval Office or and turn the National Mall into a driving range.

She&#8217;s won five straight, and that is completely impressive. However, I must admit, if it were Jennifer Rosales, I&#8217;d be completely intrigued.

If I were Ty Votaw, I&#8217;d be sanctioning as many LPGA events in Asia as possible. That seems to be where all the talent is coming from right now.
