A one-seater golf cart? According to Tim McDonald’s recent piece, the wheels are in motion. Now, pardon me for being a little conservative again (see: cell phone blog), but as much as I’m for squeezing in a round of golf in the time it takes to play normal recreational activities akin to golf like polo and wallyball, maybe we’re forgetting the simple yet beautiful paradise of two guys, some titanium sticks, and a revved-up buggy for two.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a proud child of the “ADD Genration” and nothing is more frustrating than lounging on a ...

Friday night left me searching for answers. Not because all-night happy hour left me clueless as to what I did with my belt and debit card, but how my Detroit Pistons, the “class act” of the league, let this debacle happen in their Palace. . .and how I could somehow tie this to golf for my blog. . .
It’s funny how if you dump liquor on people in a Jay-Z video, it merely confirms everyone’s having a good time, especially for the girls who oddly enough wore a bikini to the club. But if you do it to a ...

The BCS is at it again, with a computer producing inconclusive results and a lot of angry sports media. And you know what? Maybe the World Golf Rankings could learn a thing or two.
When Vijay Singh took over Tiger’s post as the golf world’s #1, where was the outrage? Where were columnists screaming at the system? Have you ever seen what goes into these world golf rankings? Its mind-boggling.
But the biggest difference? No writer polls involved! Hmmm. . .might this be a coincidence? Well, lets make golf interesting and develop a more erroneous system. Hey, at least it’ll ...

Believe it or not, some residents of a golf community actually think it’s YOUR fault when your drive strikes their humble abode lying just 20 yards right of the fairway.
A few weekends ago I was visiting some friends in town for business in Jacksonville for the weekend with my brother. Though they had a cushy pad at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort (so that’s why accounting fees are so high. . .), finding a tee time or $200 to play it was a long shot, so we found a reasonably priced course down the road, Windsor Parke, a nice public ...

just don’t get it. Golf is one of the few getaways of the modern, tech world, where we can lose ourselves for four hours. We can forget the troubles of paychecks, girlfriends, and bosses and replace them with more acceptable troubles of sand, trees, and the occassional bad etiquette.
Who wouldn’t choose the latter?
But for some reason, I keep finding more and more cell phones in use on the golf course. This is everything from someone trying to strike a sale, to buddies calling up friends to see what’s going on that particular night. Am I alone in saying ...

Terrell Owens has made headlines of his own despite helping the Eagles to an undefeated record and yet another year of hope for the city of gridiron heartache. So how on earth could one man’s end zone dance and whiny comments send the only undefeated team in football to page 3?
TO is one of the best in the game today (I still put Marvin Harrison ahead because he shuts up and plays football). Will he be a legend? That remains to be seen. These antics he comes up with, whether its a sharpie or a dance or instigating a ...
