June 23, 2008 | 1 Comment
Golf, as any major sport, relies on it’s “superstars”, to create buzz. Herein lies the problem. Golf has the most recognized person in the world as it’s marquee player; Tiger Woods.

It was thrilling. Quite possibly the best theater in a Major Championship, in this century. The legend that is Tiger Woods, will be taken to a new level with this win.

Questions that keep………
June 1, 2008 | 4 Comments
The Sunday Manifesto (random thoughts keep finding their way back):
Why doesn’t Karrie Webb win every tournament she plays in? (in our humble opinion, she has the best golf swing, male or female).

Will the winning […]
