I can't believe there isn't a topic already created talking about one of the best sporting events on TV, NCAA March Madness. Since retirement I haven't wagered any $$ on the tournament but I still fill out my bracket, hoping to beat the average participant. Gardner-Webb gave #1 Virginia more than it wanted taking the lead into half time before eventually falling 71-56. UC Irvine beat #4 Kansas State in the South. Villanova had trouble with St. Mary's. Iowa upset Cincinnati, and one of the best was Tennessee over Colgate in a very close game. Michigan State had trouble with Bradley, I thought Izzo was going to blow an artery with his finger wagging. Marquette exited early. The Big 10 is being represent well with the first six games won. I have Duke, Gonzaga, North Carolina and Tennessee in the final 4 with Duke the eventual winner.

PGA Tour Working On Program to Provide Access For College Stars | Golf Channel The PGA Tour might soon have a new feeder system – college golf. Two quotes stand out to me. … and… Making the leap from college to the pros often happens at a terrible time of year. Either you bail on your team mid-way through the season (in November or thereabouts), or you are stuck trying to make it as a pro with status on no Tour after the NCAA tournament in May.

Is anyone else watching like I do? I watched the women last week (it was not quite as exciting as the past few years), but hopefully the men's event will be as good as recent years.

When: May 16-19, 2017 (Practice rounds are May 14, 15, and we probably won't still be playing May 18 and 19th ). Where: Howey-in-the-Hills, FL. It's early, obviously, but I wanted to let some people know that I'll be around Orlando in early May, and you're welcome to come out and watch.

I have been enthralled with the Golf Channel's coverage of the NCAA Championships for the last several years, and I imagine this year will be no different. This year, they are hosting it at Eugene Country Club (just off the campus of the University of Oregon). For those who haven't watched, here's a quick rundown of the format: Days 1-4 - 72 hole individual stroke play to determine the individual National Champion, as well as (and more importantly) the eight teams who will compete in the team match play finals. Each team has 5 players competing and the 4 best scores for each day count towards the cumulative team total. Day 5 - Quarterfinals and Semifinals of the team match play. 5 singles matches. Day 6 - Team match play finals. First the women, who started Friday, with the first day of TV coverage being yesterday, or the final day of the individual. The individual championship is one thing (a Freshman from Duke ran away with it this year - winning by 7 or 8 shots), but the team fight for the final eight is the most intriguing. It's so easy to make up or lose one, two, three strokes in a matter of minutes. Yesterday there were 4 or 5 different teams holding down that 8th spot throughout the day, which ultimately went to home team Oregon after Oklahoma State and Arizona had chances on the last few holes to catch or pass them but fell short. The final totals from yesterday: Anybody who is watching, feel free to discuss it here (I'll probably disappear until late tonight because I'm recording it all and will watch later) ... and if you weren't planning on watching, I recommend you give it a try. It's a lot of fun! Here's a few random photos: Individual champion, Virginia Elena Carta (will also be competing in team match play) The #4 seeded Washington University team. This was the pivotal moment in OK State missing out - that girl went bunker-bunker-bunker on her last hole, leading to a triple (I believe) and they fell 3 shots short.
