British Open Preview: Living In A World Without Tigers
This year, please welcome back Shane Bacon, golfing bon vivant from Dogs That Chase Cars, as he gives us a fantastic preview to this year's British Open. It can still be interesting without Tiger. Right?...
John Daly and Butch Harmon in Catfight on Eve of British Open
After swing coach Butch Harmon said Daly was more interested in drinking and having a good time than he was in being a good golfer. Daly, who is more interested in drinking and having a good time than being a good golfer, took offense. Now he's finally firing back from England. Sort of....
Brothers Hit Back-to-Back Hole in Ones on TPC-Sawgrass 3
Davis Massey is 11 and his brother Hanks is 9. If you really want to piss off your golfing friends, forward this link along to everyone who golfs and has never hit a hole-in-one. Which is basically everyone. Then ask, did you ever get a hole in one before? That question infuriates golfers. And now t...
Tony And Jessica Think That Journey Totally Rocks
It wasn't all fun and wetness at the American Century Championship golf tournament at Lake Tahoe this weekend. Tony Romo and a very orange Jessica Simpson spent some quality time at the Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick concert at Harveys outdoor arena on Saturday night. Here they are arriving for the festi...
Charles Barkley Knows Not Of These 'Blogs' You Speak Of
So I was mocked repeatedly for my "interview" with Charles Barkley on Thursday, when I introduced myself and told him that I would be blogging his rounds all weekend. Yes, it somewhat resembled Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney. But I'll have you know that from that brief exchange came the ca...
Don't Worry Golfers; Kevin Has Your Back
So if Kevin Malone were organizing a dream golf foursome, what three Office characters would he choose? That's a tough one (answer following the jump). One thing you should know, though: Brian Baumgartner has very little in common with Kevin Malone. Except that both are funny....
The Biggest Attractions In Tahoe Were Not Necessarily Golfers
It's true: Tony Romo did fall into a pond at the American Century Championship. And was rescued by a hockey player. But practically no one noticed, as Jessica Simpson was rocking the white dress with the orange whoozits and wowing the crowd with her intellectual prowess. Typical exchange: "Jessica! ...
Charles Barkley Reluctantly Puts Me In His Fave Five
When NBC Sports asked if I'd blog portions of this year's American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament, of course I said yes. At what other event would I get a chance to interview FOUR participants of Dancing With the Stars? But gradually more details emerged, and I was not amused. The sh...
Tiger Woods Still on Track to be a Billionaire by 2011
Even with the injured knee. This will make Woods the first sports billionaire. At least he doesn't have a hot swedish wife, or an island home, or a huge yacht that costs more than the GNP of Moldova. Then it might be kind of hard to root for the guy to make putts over man-boobed fifty year olds....
Jean Van de Velde Qualifies for British Open
Van de Velde, who memorably choked away the 1999 British Open with a triple bogey, was one of four golfers to qualify for next week's British Open. Even better for Van de Velde, he birdied the 18th hole to qualify....
Adieu, Trent Dilfer. Adieu.
As you read this I am speeding toward sunny Lake Tahoe, cranking the Beach Boys, with a big nasty redhead at my side (wait. Am I Randy Newman?). But already there's news from there in my absence. Trent Dilfer, perhaps the worst quarterback to ever earn a Super Bowl ring as a starter, announced on We...
Youth Golfers Get Blindsided By Boob-Infested Golf Outing
A golf team of pre-teen youngsters got a little more than they expected when they showed up for their junior club golf outing on Monday. Due to a scheduling "miscommunication" the lucky kids got to share the clubhouse with the annual Shotgun Willie's Charity Golf Tournament, an event sponsored by a ...
PGA Braces For A Year Of Living Tigerlessly
The PGA tour is now officially in trouble. Tiger Woods, athlete of the century, god amongst golfers and multi-blade razor pitchman, will have knee surgery to repair a torn ACL that will keep him out the rest of the 2008 season. Tiger, taking a break from having acrobatic intimate relations with his ...
Favre Golf No-Show Fuels Comeback Speculation
So I'm looking forward to the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament at Lake Tahoe more than ever this year; in addition to the usual suspects, the field will include Dennis Miller, the lovely and vivacious Rick Reilly and the par machine that is Joe Buck. I'm also curious to see how Charles Bar...
After Three Holes ... Rocco Up By One Stroke
Former fat guy and poker aficionado Rocco Mediate almost had a hole in one on the third hole par 3. He ended up with a birdie and is even through three. Tiger bogey'd the hole after shot out of the bunker went 15 feet past the pin....
Some Monday Afternoon Championship Golf For You
The US Open playoff — and how cool is it that they make the two people who tie play another 18 holes the next day? — tees off in about 20 minutes. As Jason Sobel put it, it's Tiger's knee vs. Tiger's brain. Or, as we put it, it's Tiger's knee against Rocco Mediate's male pattern baldness. Don't worr...
Today We Honor All Middle-Aged Slightly Tubby Guys ... And Tiger Of Course
You know, you have to feel for Rocco Mediate. The guy staves off Tiger Woods all day, the best player in the world on his tail, a 46-year-old man playing the tournament of his life, and his reward is to go 18 more holes tomorrow against the guy. The goal should be survival at this point....
In Case You Forgot Why Tiger Woods Got To Marry A Swedish Model
Like many humans and corporate executives before him, Tiger Woods began his round of golf on Saturday with a double bogey. But unlike everyone else, he finished the back nine with two eagles and a birdie. Only Dick Cheney sets himself up in a better position to shoot more types of bird on a weekend...
