Nantz: Pebble Beach Is The World's Best Golf Course, So You Should Respect Bill Belichick For Playing It
Pebble Beach Golf Links (among the other courses associated with the Pebble Beach Pro-Am) is one of the most desired courses on Earth for hackers to play. Today's CBS broadcast of the event regularly referred to it as "The World's Best Golf Course." Yet for some competitors in the Pro-Am, CBS golf...
Bill Murray Is Wearing A Ghillie Suit And Punting Footballs At The Pebble Beach Pro-Am
I'd urge anyone watching this to try not to make sense of it. Bill Murray (paired with D.A. Points) is competing today at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in a ghillie suit, what appear to be gardening gloves, and at one point he punted a football into the crowd. It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wi...
How Dare Bill Belichick Golf Pebble Beach Just Four Days After Losing The Super Bowl
Nah, not really. That would be an absurd argument to make, just about as absurd as decreeing Rob Gronkowski and Matt Light can't go party in Indianapolis. It's a slippery slope. How many days after a big loss is it acceptable to have fun? Is a sedate sport like golf more palatable than dancing? How ...
Play Through At Your Own Risk: Golfer Might Lose Leg After On-Course Fight
A course marshall had granted a threesome permission to pass a slow-playing foursome, but a fight ensued. The victim suffered a punctured femoral artery, but during a 911 call one of the golfers said the victim "fell on a golf club or something." Which happens all the time. [Star-Telegram]...
Torrey Pines Cut Kyle Stanley One Of Those Oversized Checks Before His Epic Collapse At No. 18
And it was discovered under the grandstand, sometime after Stanley fell apart at the conclusion of yesterday's Farmers Insurance Open. Stanley had a three-stroke lead when he got to No. 18, where he tried to lay up, only to land his ball in the water, after which he three-putted. Who hasn't been th...
As A Golfer Considers His Shot, A Sound Guy Behind Him Absolutely Eats It
The Humana Challenge used to be the Bob Hope Classic, but what's Bob Hope going to do about it? He's dead. But while Bob was never particularly big on physical humor, even he would have gotten a kick out of this sound guy's entrance, stage left....
Former Pro Golfer Netted In Massive Sex Sting
Steve Thomas, who's played 78 tournaments on the PGA and Champions Tours (though none since 2010), was among 40 people arrested in an Osceola County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office sting operation. "Operation Red Cheeks" set Thomas up to believe he was negotiating for sex with a minor....
Tiger Woods And Tony Romo To Double-Team Pebble Beach
Tiger Woods will open his 2012 at next month's Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and it seems his playing partner will be Tony Romo, who's no slouch with a driver and always available in early February. Now let's all try to pretend that wasn't Romo in the cheating-on-a-pregnant-wife blind item, and Wood...
This Interview With PGA Golfer Matt Every Is A Train Wreck
Matt Every leads the Sony Open in Hawaii by two strokes, but his play is being overshadowed by this bizarre interview with the Golf Channel's Kelly Tilghman in which his 2010 arrest for marijuana possession (and subsequent suspension from the tour) is addressed. Every's defensiveness suggests he w...
Turns Out Tiger Woods' Ex-Wife Is The Homewrecker
Sure, Tiger was the one sleeping around and doing all manner of filthy things to all kinds of filthy ladies, but Elin Nordegren, apparently, is the one who left their children with a broken home. As reported earlier this week, Nordegren bought a $12 million house in North Palm Beach, Florida only t...

Caroline Wozniacki And Rory McIlroy Obnoxiously Remind Us That They Are Nos. 1 And 2 In The World
We should only be so cynical about young love, but young love should only give itself so many insufferable personalized nicknames and offer so many reminders that the young people in question—the Wozz in "Wozzilroy" is 21 years old and the Ilroy is 22—hold the best and second-best world rankings in ...
Steve Williams Wants To Shove Something Up The "Black Arsehole" of Tiger Woods
While attending a "caddie of the year" event in Shanghai, where he won "Celebration of the year" thanks to his ridiculous behavior following Adam Scott's win at the Bridgestone Invitational—including claiming the victory was the greatest of his career—Steve Williams was asked why he made such an ab...
Royal And Ancient Golf Club Updates Stupid And Ancient Rules
Golf's governing body, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club, has updated some of its stupid and ancient rules. Among other overdue adjustments: golfers will no longer be penalized with a stroke if a gust of wind displaces the ball. The organization is still grappling with dinosaur interference. [AP]...
