I played the South Course after my senior year of high school, which is now 8 years ago. I think they were doing some kind of work on the North course at the time because I also wanted to play it, but couldn't. I thought it was a nice course, nothing really special about it. It was neat to watch the hang gliders like greenmonstah said. There is some really beautiful holes as far a scenery goes. I will also have fun next year telling every one that I played that course when the Open is on. I still have the score card, shot an 84 with back to back doubles coming in. That left a sour taste.

2003 GMC envoy. Works well for throwing the clubs in the back and also hauling around my bass guitar rig. It was also my first vehicle with four wheel drive, what a god-send. I could not take getting stuck in the snow with my two wheel drive truck anymore. Why do they make two-wheel drive trucks available to people who live were there is ice and snow? And why did god make me stupid enough to buy a truck with two-wheel drive when I live were there is ice and snow? Anyway, love the envoy and am looking at updating to a new model soon.

Jeff Gordon....Oh wait, never mind, you said athlete...(Just kidding(kind of)) Well after much thought it would have to be Tiger Lets examine Football Player.....I really am a wimp, I don't want to be somebody who gets hit all day. Baseball Player....162 games. 1 day off a month. No Thanks. Basketball Player....I would love to be able to dunk on a hoop higher than 7ft. However, it sure seems like they have to run up and down a lot. I am not huge fan of running, unless someone is chasing me. Hockey Player....I love hockey, but no one would see me when I am on VS. Golfer.....Perfect. Play in what ever tournament I want, when I want, and play a game I love. Who better to be than the best...Tiger.

I think Tomlin will do a great job. It seemed like a lot of the Vikes players really liked playing for him. It is a little crazy how fast he became a head coach though. Just two years ago he was a defensive secondary coach. Any way If you would all wear these nice purple sun glasses, have some of my Purple Kool-Aid, and forget everything you know about football you would all see how clear it is that the Vikings will win the Superbowl.

The one rule I would change would still be grounding a club in a hazard. However, I like the one about fixing spike marks. I realize it doesn't happen a lot, but new spikes worn by the wrong individual can cause some damage around the cup. I have come across it before and have knocked the grass back down and not thought twice about it. As mentioned, the fairway divot is another one I might consider if I was able to change a rule.

How about being allowed to ground your club in the bunker or hazard. I would love to be able to line up a bunker shot with my club resting on the sand. It seems to me that as long as the ball is not effected by grounding the club no harm would be done. I am unaware of the intetion of this rule but it sure would be nice to take some practice swings in the bunkers to get a feel for the sand.

I just did this the other day. I got some new irons and never had a chance to take them out on the course because we were headed down to our lake. I brought about 20 bad balls and proceeded to hit them in the lake (very well I may add). I hope it doesn't cause any damage to the wild life, never put much thought into possibly hurting anything.

I am glad you had fun at the Sioux game. Englestad arena is an impressive building. The Sioux is about all Grand Forks has, so we are quite rabid about our college hockey. It would be nice to see Winnipeg get a team again, I had some fun going to Jets games when I was younger. It was a shame that the Jets & Nords left Canada.

I use to hate the Devils. However, after a couple of Sioux players found their way on to the roster (Parise, Zajac), I found myself watching them more and enjoyed the style they play. I love watching the Wild play. Great atmosphere at the Excel Energy center and a lot of passionate fans. Their future looks good so I am excited to see them compete for the next couple of years. Oh yeah, lets not forget my SIOUX!!!

I really enjoy playing bass guitar and guitar. I also like collecting bass guitars, if anybody has some vintage basses they want to get rid of let me know. I am a huge sports nut, UND Sioux hockey, Minnesota Wild, Twins, Vikings, TWolves, & Kansas Jayhawks basketball get plenty of my attention and time. I enjoy being outdoors and spending time at our lake cabin jet skiing and relaxing. However, all these have somewhat taken a back seat to my new son. He is somewhat dominating my life at this point. Oh yeah, I suppose I shouldn't forget spending quality time with my wife

I would be up for some Fantasy Football. Picking from a division sounds pretty cool. Although, you might have to spot some points to who ever gets the NFC north this year.

I was wondering if anybody here has any experience or heard anything about electrospin's golf launchpad? With the long winters in North Dakota I think it would be fun and keep my game on point. I don't expect a real life simulator, as long as it is some what accurate and provides a fun experience I would think it would be worth it.

I wish KG all the best luck in Boston. This instantly makes Boston the favorite in the Atlantic and a top team in the east. Although it's sad to see Garnett go it was probably the best thing for the wolves as well. There was a good chance Garnett would have opted out of his contract after this year then the wolves would have got nothing in return. I will just have to be patient and watch the young wolves go through their growing pains. I will be cheering for the Celts in the east, good luck

Well it looks like Garnett is on his way out of Minnesota. I am sad to see him go and hope the best for him in Boston. He is a intense player who always gave 100%. He was also very involved in the community and did a great job as the face of the Timberwolves organization. It was to bad he was never able to get some quality players around him in Minny. Goodby mediocrity, hello lottery picks for the next several years.

Great coach and more importantly a great guy. He will be missed by many.

It is obvious that her sitting on the flag bothers people. You can't tell people what should and what should not upset them, nobody should be told how to feel. It is also clear that there are people, like myself, that are not bothered by it, which is also fine. It does not bother me, but seeing how many people are bothered by this it will make me more conscious in flag etiquette. Please do not interpret my lack of outrage on the flag situation as a lack of respect to our country and those who have made sacrifices. Her sitting on the flag just doesn't ruffle MY feathers. Since many are bothered by this picture it is clear she should make an apology.

This does not bother me at all. It is clear that it is not her intention to disrespect the flag. It was a mistake and I am sure she will not do anything like that again. It seems she was excited to have won her firtst event and I am sure flag etiquette was the last thing on her mind. I believe a simple statement from her on how she was unaware and appologizes for sitting on the flag should be more than enough to set things right.

I started to do the same thing in my back yard. I use two 5 gallon pales and hit about 75 balls back and forth while moving them further apart. My short game has got much better. I feel much more confident on the course with my wedge now, as before I was just expecting a bad chip. I just wish I would have started doing this earlier.
