Another Tragic Golf Cart Accident:
A Tenn man commits suicide after his wife dies in a golf cart accident.
In my opinion, it’s another tragic accident that will only happen more
frequently as people drive golf carts on the roads.

Man, Sergio just can’t get a break…
Vijay Singh took the Braclay’s from his good friend Sergio Garcia,
who lost another close match.
Singh also took something else from Sergio - the lead in the FedEx Cup,
not to mention the 1.2 million for his forth straight win at the Barclays.
Here is what I’d like to see - Sergio either win or get in the top 3 for
the rest of the playoff and win the FedEx - he would definitely be worthy…
Oh, and how about the PGA wildlife? First it’s a bear and now it’s a gopher

A few days ago I posted an article about a specific golf rule on the
blog. It was all about what the rules say when you break your putter.
Well, as it turned out there was a few opportunites for that rule to
be invoked recently at the PGA Championship.
On the first hole that he played after the rain delay on Thursday, Woody
Austin broke is putter in frustration. So he played the remaining 3 holes
using his wedge.
Mike Wier broke his putter on Friday (he threw it at his golf bag)
and used his 18 degree hybrid on his last 5 holes - and he made the cut!

Another PGA Championship facts…
…Kenny Perry withdrew after the first round with a scratched cornea
and as such he earned the record of having won the most money in a season
without winning any money in a major.
With over 4 million this year, he’s crying all the way to the bank…

Share The Passion…for litigation?
The US Golf Teacher’s Federation is suing the PGA of America for
using their slogan “Share the Passion” in Public Service Announcements.
Geeez - don’t these guys have better things to do?

Hey dude, where did my ball go?
11 year old Allan Saylor was playing golf for just his third time
when he stepped up to the 150 yard sixth hole at a course in North
Dakota…
…and aced it.
When the golf pro asked if he knew what he did he said “no, not really” ![]()
