With Tiger Woods recuperating at home, this is when the PGA Tour marketers earn their bloated paychecks. First of all, they could take cues from other sports, which have long held the belief that to keep fans, they must first entertain them. From post-tournament kick-boxing to gunplay, whiskey and dancing girls, there are any number of existing ploys they could steal to keep the public interest ...
You will find any number of charlatans willing to sell you their total golf fitness regimens. These sleazoids always assume you're a golfer interested in a cleaner, healthier way of living and golfing. I've seen you out on the course, and I know that's not the sort of thing you're "into." So, from breathing exercises to strengthening your core, here's a look at how to get golf-ready. The easy way.
PGA Tour star John Daly apparently did not overindulge in any way yesterday, according to several stunned witnesses. Known for his erratic behavior and gambling, drinking and smoking habits, Daly had an uneventful day and then stayed home last night according to several insiders. Daly reportedly was in bed by 10 p.m.
Throughout the years, conspiracy theorists have postulated on numerous historic events. From the Kennedy Assassination to the Moon Landing Hoax to 9/11 conspiracy theories, a new truth has emerged - everything you've learned about everything is a lie. But this latest piece of information - based on months of research by groups of hard-working, patriotic Americans - shows the depth and depravity of the super-secret groups that quietly run the planet. What you are about to read will shock you to your very core, especially if you're a golf fan: There is no Tiger Woods.
In less than one year, U.S. President George W. Bush will leave the White House and look for a new job. But while Bush has said he will hit the speaking tour, sources near the White House are saying that Bush will likely combine his love of golf with his love of management, as he will design his first-ever golf course in Saudi Arabia. The new Al-Bush Golf Course and Country Club will have something for everyone, unless you're not a millionaire. The course will be the first in history to use a "trickle-down" theory of golf, meaning billionaires will get to tee off from six inches from the hole.
Ahmad Rashad came off a Pro-Bowl caliber career in the NFL and has now been an announcer and interviewer for more than 20 years. The popular former Vikings star is a pal of Michael Jordan and a certified golf nut, as well. And while you may note that he tends to ask softball questions in interviews, you'll see that he has lots to say about the world of golf and the current climate in the world of sports.
As Tiger Woods' chase of, and eventual conquest of, Jack Nicklaus' all-time record for major victories continues, many golf writers will do whatever they can to compare the two golf idols. Because as the years go by and Tiger chips away at Jack's records, there will be a lot to say about the two and which was greater in what. Whether it's
their swing or mental game, it's up for comparison. But how do Tiger and Jack match up in other fields, like being auto mechanics, or crossdressers.
When your golf swing has gone to hell, you're grouchy, rude and often incontinent. You hate everything and everybody. That's what's happening right now to Tim McDonald, who instead of hitting drives long and straight, is currently hitting his driver short and stupid and with a hook the size of the Florida Panhandle. McDonald has received tips from anyone and everyone and still his game is a complete mess. He's even looked through old issues of Golf Digest. So what's a golf writer to do when his golf game is embarrassingly horrible? Perhaps now's the right time to find some religion.
Though Michelle Wie's career has resonated with numerous young girls and their role-model-desperate parents, there's always been an unmistakable sleaze factor in her base. Let's face it, a lot of her fans are the same 45-year-old creeps who watch Disney movies with the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley. As she turns 18, though, will Team Wie embrace their star's sex appeal ala Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova? Senior Staff Writer Chris Baldwin considers this question.
Mike McDonald is a successful standup comedian who has worked with the likes of Drew Carey, Denis Leary and Stephen Wright. So why is it he only wants to talk about his golf balls? That's because McDonald has found his own niche with "The World's Funniest Golf Balls" which from container to ball is sure to give a golfer a bagful of laughs and guffaws. McDonald shares his humor about his project, which like his comic career, is seeing lots of success.
"Caddyshack," the hysterical 1980 film about the misadventures of the members and employees of Bushwood Country Club, has become one of the most oft-quoted films of all time. From the philosophical ramblings of Zen golfer Ty Webb to the crude one-liners of Bushwood member-applicant Al Czervik, "Caddyshack" quotes have become part of golf's comedic vernacular. Just in case you're getting rusty on your references, here's a crash course to get you back to word perfect on Carl Spackler's Dalai Lama monologue (and more).
