A Quick Jim Gray Story from the US Open
This afternoon, I was looking through some of the pictures on my cell phone - trying to delete the crappy ones - and I came upon a picture of Jim Gray. Of all people. I snapped a quick pic of Jim when in the Lexus tent at the US Open in June. When I walked in, it struck me as totally bizarre...
Pete Kostis Suggests the USGA Create Their Own TPC Network
My buddy and e-mail nemesis Peter Kostis is back with a new golf.com column and, man, is he trying to stir the pot. Kostis uses the KonicaMinolta Website column to suggest that the USGA should abandon its century-plus tradition of trotting around our national championships to epic courses around...
Is the US Open Producing Mediocre Champions?
Since coming back from the Monterey, I've seen a couple of posts in different outlets/sites asking essentially the same question: is Mike Davis' setup philosophy producing mediocre US Open winners? Geoff Shackelford and Steve Elling have raised the point this week. Take a look at the US Open...

A Passing Plane at Pebble Asks "Tiger, Are You My Daddy?"
Tiger Woods hit a terrible drive to the left on the downhill par 4 third hole. As Woods was hitting his recovery out of deep grass with a very audible grunt, a plane passed over the third hole with a message for Tiger. It asked, "Tiger: Are You My Daddy?"
Can Dustin Johnson Hang On to Win the US Open?
Dustin Johnson really seems in control of this tournament and his emotions right now. The kid is young enough to not realize the enormity of what is happening here. It almost seems like he is just playing the AT&T for the third time, and he has every intention of winning the Clambake. The...
Tiger Fires 66, Talks About Getting His Game Back
Tiger Woods' third round of 66 in the US Open at Pebble Beach has him in position to win his fifteenth major championship. Woods began his round poorly, playing poorly on the opening seven holes - considered the easiest stretch of holes on the golf course. He made bogey on two after a poor...
