Being a TravelGolf.com blogger is a job full of perks. We get to travel all over the globe to play golf and write about it, for one. I mean, that’s a seriously cool perk. But there are others, like seeing Cheap Bastard spend an entire evening trying to hook up with Heather McMichael at the office Christmas party. It was disturbing, but you couldn’t take your eyes off of it. Another perk is that we get to see random search-engine queries people used to get to our blogs. They don’t give out anything else, like IP’s or anything personal, just the ...

Having seen the leggy rara avis that is Heather McMichael comment that nothing may be deemed a golf blog without two mentions of Michelle Wie, I realized some important things. First of all, trust me on this, be happy that Chris Baldwin is fixated on Michelle Wie (that made my quota). If it wasn’t for her, he’d be writing about his laundry, an electric bill that seemed slightly higher than normal, his favorite cereal (Frosted Flakes, extra sugar), etc. Seriously, talk to the guy on the phone, you’ll want to gnaw your arm off to escape.

When John Daly missed a three-foot putt to lose in a playoff to Tiger Woods at the World Golf Championships in San Francisco, Woods gave a look of dismay and later said “You don’t want to win tournaments like that.” It was at this point that Colin Montgomerie lost it and just went totally kung-fu on Woods, Daly, the fans, the media and the poor saps who were just there to clean up the course.

After reading Jennifer Mario’s absolutely gushing blog about South Korean golfers dominating the LPGA’s Office Depot Championship, I realized something needed to be done to present a more balanced picture of Korea. I mean sure, South Korea has great athletes, doctors, scientists and whatever other types of professionals Koreans need. Sure the South Koreans have food and freedom. But North Korea has something that totally wipes them off the map (figuratively, not literally, at least as I’m writing this). The Great Leader, the Sun of the Nation and of Mankind: Kim Jong Il. Put aside any notions you may have about the man. ...

Golf is very well regulated, which is good, for if it weren’t a simple golf tee would considered a dangerous weapon and be taxed accordingly, making a bag of 100 tees cost upward of $78,000. With that in mind, welcome to the Weekend Rules, where today we’ll be looking at if golf etiquette can be considered a legal issue. Today’s Scenario: Lance Fingley III, CEO of EndlessProfits Inc is behind some trees in a small gully on the fairway. Being the omnipotent master of industry that he is, he doesn’t bother to yell “Fore!” when he hits a screaming hook into the next ...
