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... |

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... |

A dry run at Augusta I find it difficult to fathom why there is so much angst over how far the players hit the ball. The best solution at the moment seems to be to limit how far the ball flies. Is this really necessary? Why not just make the fairways narrower and grow the rough? |
