There are myriad reasons for you to introduce your child to golf. Not only is it outdoor exercise, it’s a sport that requires discipline and concentration, but it’s a great bonding ritual for parent and child. Aside from that, there’s yet another reason to get your kid golfing: You will never get herpes playing golf. At least if you do it even close to correctly. Sadly, as some young Minnesotans have learned, the sport of wrestling can’t make that same promise. From a recent Associated Press article: The Minnesota State High School League banned competitions and direct contact between wrestlers in practice until ...

Here at the Golfer Supremacy Rankings, we do things a little differently. We don’t take money from big corporations to influence our rankings. We live on the wild side. We’re independent, strong and confident. We actually once shot a guy in Reno in the leg, just to watch him limp. That’s why we can be the only patented golf rankings system that doesn’t rank Tiger Woods as the No. 1 golfer. Sure, winning seven PGA Tour events in a row is a nice achievement, but we expect more from Tiger these days. He’s raised the bar. If he can’t win a ...

On a weekend that saw both Tiger Woods and Roger Federer continue to dominate in their chosen fields, the sporting world has come to realize that we are in the middle of watching two all-time greats at the peak of their powers. But while many complain that Federer hasn’t received the media attention that Woods has, there are others who are equally dominant in their fields who receive little attention from the mainstream media. Take San Francisco dominatrix Mistress Morgana, for example. Day in, day out, she does her job, leaving both men and women huddled in a corner crying in ...

For many years, I enjoyed the hockey in much the same way as my Australian Shepherd, Duchess enjoys examining a new bug. Sort of with a “hey, look at that. What else is on?” attitude. That was before my college days, when a guy I worked with at the University newspaper would bring his recreational hockey gear into the office after a game. The stink from his equipment was like death encased in Joy Behar’s colon. It was literally unbearable, and I was once a commercial fisherman, mind you. Since then, I’ve been of the opinion hockey should be abolished. First of ...

My fellow Golf Rankings lovers, This rite of custom brings us together at a defining hour — when decisions are hard and courage is tested. We enter the year 2007 with large endeavors underway, and others that are ours to begin. In all of this, much is asked of us. We must have the will to face difficult challenges and determined enemies — and the wisdom to face them together. We here at the Golfer Supremacy Rankings are proud to stand before you today and welcome those of you that count yourself as new fans to the game. We hope you will ...

This just in from Rush Limbaugh, the noted expert on the effects of Parkinson’s Disease: “Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it,” said Limbaugh on his show recently. Limbaugh, who never met a marriage he wouldn’t end in divorce, apparently has come to the belief that there are dangerous social and cultural elements emanating from the NFL, apparently in the form of doo-rags and tattoos. Just something to remember from Limbaugh: If you get hooked on pills, can’t stay ...

For those that would rather show their support of the U.S. troops in the Middle East via actions rather than rhetoric, the Evansville (Ind.) City Council and Red Cross could use your help. Recently, the City of Evansville started a program to send used golf balls to U.S. Troops in Iraq. The idea coming from the wife of an enlisted man who knew that those stationed abroad for long stretches were always on the lookout for some entertainment, and smacking around some golf balls is always entertaining. This is something that has been done in other areas, as well, with success. “I ...

Here’s a little-known fact about the PGA Tour: If David Duval breaks 70 during an event, it kick-starts a massive hyperbole machine, sending his fans into hysterics. Duval, who was the No. 1 player in golf about 75 years ago, has put together a couple solid rounds at the Bob Hope Classic, sending his fans into a hyperbolic frenzy. “As most people remember, DD put together a very promising comeback campaign in 2006. He’s only played one round, but it looks like he might be able to build on last year and make some serious noise in 2007,” wrote John Gorman at ...

Back when I was a professional wrestler in the Piss-Yourself-and-Run-Away Division of the now-defunct “Not Giving Much of An Effort Championship Wrestling” (NGMAECW), I learned quite a bit about how to promote myself. The crowd demanded dedication and determination and I gave it them, as every night I went into that ring and sprinted around, weeping and begging not to get hurt. And I gave it 100 percent. Because Americans like determination. It’s part of the reason why a show like American Idol is so popular. Some of those kids get up there and sing their brains out, giving it every ...

The unbelievable performance by 16-year-old Tadd Fujikawa at the Sony Open was a breath of fresh air, both on and off course. The tiny terror showed himself to be as adept with a microphone in front of him as he is with putter in hand. Some highlights: Q. Do you think after your performance these past few days, people will stop calling you Todd or Chad? TADD FUJIKAWA: Probably not. Q. Do you mind it? TADD FUJIKAWA: No, I don’t mind it. It’s just – I don’t really care. I don’t know why people call me Todd or Chad or whatever. I guess ...

Walking around the vast Golfer Supremacy Rankings Complex, one can really come to grips with one’s thoughts and aspirations. And while we here at the GSRs have made it clear that all we care about is producing great golf rankings, we realize that others have goals as well. One thing we’ve learned this week, however: Talking about your dreams is wonderful, especially if you have a trillion-dollar corporation to help you get your message across. Actually doing something about your dreams is quite a bit more difficult. Which is why, right about now, we are all about young Tadd Fujikawa. Golfer ...

In a rumor that is sweeping the globe while just inching across the U.S., soccer star David Beckham will sign with the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer tomorrow, making him by far the highest profile soccer player to play in the States since Pelé and the New York Cosmos days. “I’ve played now for two of the biggest clubs in the world. I’ve played at the highest level for 15 years, and now I think I need another challenge,” Beckham reportedly told Good Morning America. It’s likely the average American doesn’t see the significance of this move, which is ...

At the start of every year, I like to make a self-evaluation. I take a hard look at myself as a writer and person and try and work on my faults. I must admit, I have few, but there is one glaring issue I struggle with: I cannot make a prediction to save my ass. Seriously, I recently made some predictions for the Bowl Championship Series, and couldn’t have been more wrong, especially in the BCS Championship game, where I picked Ohio State to cruise over Florida. I did pick LSU over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl, but that was sort ...

Many of you think this is but a simple golf blog. In reality, however, it is and can be so much more. Because you have entered into: William K. Wolfrum’s Dance Party Golf Blog! All righttttt. Welcome to the Dance Party, babies. All the big stars, having the time of their lives, at the Dance Party. Hey look, there’s Rerun. Oh yeah. You get it, Rerun. Get it at the Dance Party. Hey, look who just wandered in the front door - it’s Swedish pop sensation Ace of Base. All righhtttt. Ace of Base, at the Dance Party. Things are going so good, I ...

Now that “Tinkerin’” Tim Finchem is running things his way at the PGA Tour and looking to maximize revenue, we suggest he take a look at college football, and notably its fan base. Golf’s austere approach keeps true, dedicated fans from emerging. And sure, golf has fans that worship the game and its players, but not in the way college football fans do it. You know, drunkenly. If golf could get fans like Alana Colette Connell of Alabama, it would capture popularity as it never had before. Connell - who partied before new Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban arrived, then kissed him, ...

This was a historic weekend over here at the FedEx Cup Golfer Supremacy Rankings. Sure, there were some amazing NFL playoff games, the build up to the FedEx BCS Championship Game, college basketball, plus NBA and NHL games. But when historians look back at this time and quit giggling about what a bunch of morons we were, they will look at this time and see but one thing - the FedEx Cup. Yes, the FedEx Cup is officially underway. The FedEx PGA Tour has revolutionized how we will look at golf now, as they have created an amazing points-counting system, slapped ...

With one round in the books in 2007 PGA season, one simple fact has emerged - the new FedEx Cup is an embarrassing failure. Am I leaping to judgment too quickly? Of course, but face it, can you imagine an entire year of hearing FedEx Cup talk? By missing the season-opening Mercedes Benz Championship, both Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson gave the FedEx Cup (the “FEC” perhaps?) a resounding “meh.” Of the stars there, early leader Vijay Singh made his feelings the most clear. “Well, there’s so much going on about FedExCup, I’m tired of listening to it, you know,” said Vijay ...

The rumors officially became true recently, as golf legend Greg Norman and tennis legend Chris Evert have come forward and admitted that they are dating. Scientists monitoring the two have concluded that the Norman-Evert coupling makes them the two whitest humans to ever come together in a romantic relationship, topping the Roseanne-Tom Arnold whiteout of several years back. Norman-Evert could hold the title for quite some time, unless the dream couple of Britney Spears and John Daly come together as some expect. Norman, who took time enough off of his heavy schedule of stockpiling money last year to divorce his wife, ...
