SHARON MILLER
SHARON MILLER: was yesterday elected to the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame; CONGRATULATIONS! We are all so very proud of you! I first met Sharon ten years ago. She didn’t have any reason to know who I was, but I most certainly had read about and knew of her. On that Colorado afternoon, I just […]

Chris Basset
Playing at his home Club, Breckenridge Golf Club, on September 29th., Chris Basset did not one, but two remarkable things. Chris had a hole-in-one on the par 3, 8th. hole on his way to a one under, 35, on the front 9. Then, despite a double bogey on the last hole finished with a superb […]

“The FedEX Thingy”
That is how Ernie Els describes the inaugural FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour. I have to agree with the Big Easy. This hasn’t got me fired up, either. The whole idea of the FedEx Cup was, ala Nascar, to generate more interest in PGA Tour events in the latter part of the year. The […]
