Watching golfers on the Old Course from Rusacks Hotel in St. Andrews better than any TV
Send feedback »I don't watch TV much these days. Maybe it's because I live in a foreign country and can't understand much Czech, or maybe its because I can simply pirate old South Park episodes to my computer, which is really all the entertainment I need at the moment… more »

Today I stand before you a changed man. Three days after my arrival in the UK, I proudly admit I can drive on the left side of the road and roundabouts are cake (but I didn't say I agree with them...). However, I still never fail to walk to my car and st… more »

The tabloid-obsessed UK is all over the new Madonna adoption of an African one-year old, who apparently has checked into the celeb's London estate. This story is everywhere in Scotland, even more than Bill Murray's party-crashing in St. Andrews. Paparazz… more »

So I'm not the only one who notices a few scantly clad, easy-on-the-eyes women near the top right corner of WorldGolf.com. First, Bruce "The Guru" Stasch is going after these girls, all while putting his manliness up for auction. Then a disgusted… more »

Curse of Johnny Damon - not A-Rod - has Yankees doomed for a long time, much like Ryder Cup
1 feedback »Much to the dismay of the New York media and fans, A-Rod, the popular scapegoat in the Big Apple, didn't lose the series for the Yankees vs. the Detroit Tigers. He could have put up Derek Jeter-like numbers and the Yankees still go home early, the games… more »
