New golf toys One thing really stuck in my head from the recent PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla. Visually, there was nothing close to Wilson's Deep Red driver ($369) at the show. The club may be too pretty to use. Its unique sparkling-burgundy finish was mesmerizing...   |

No more real golf Let's all just scratch Valderrama off our scorecards, shall we? As the recent WGC American Express Championship proved, it's not a great golf course. The 17th hole, where balls keep rolling off the green into the lake, is a travesty. That green really does belong on a miniature-golf course... |

What's wrong with Tiger? It's another telltale sign of Tiger Woods' dominance that it seems like bigger news when he doesn't win than when he does. We almost expect him to win.

Too many signs Autographs are meaningless and pointless -- and now, sadly, all about the money. A celebrity signs a card or a program, and 10 minutes later that item is up for bid on eBay or for sale in some collector's shop in the mall. If I was a celebrity -- say, Woods -- I'd simply say, No autographs... |
