It sits directly behind the first tee of the Old Course. The window above the bench shows the reflection of a setting sun over the [...]

I thought I would call your attention to two completely unrelated items that caught my eye this week . The first one is a photograph of Barack Obama that appeared on the Huffington Post the day after the election. When I saw Obama take the stage in Grant Park in Chicago after being elected I noticed [...]

WOW. Has it been two years already? On this election day, you might think today’s AWT would be loaded down with political tidbits just waiting to piss you off again. Not so, mes amis. I have been reading bucket loads recently and this week’s AWT is an amalgam of odd bits and pieces from technology, [...]

Happy first full day of Autumn. So much for the golf season around the Boston area. I’d bet we have no more than 45 days left of playable weather. It’s bad enough that the season is shorter than Verne Troyer, does it have to go by so so quickly too? Ah well, we have the [...]

It is also the apt name of the golf course in Louisville, Kentucky that hosted the 37th Ryder Cup. For 4 days, I was in Kentucky watching the Ryder Cup as a guest of the hospitable Scottish [...]

I never tell stories out of school. Ever. But this one happened so long ago that the participants can blame it all on youth and ol’ demon alcohol. It was one of the funniest stories ever brought back Stateside by this group. Well, it was funny for us anyways.
