@kontrolle: Those khakis could be soooo much worse. They could have pleats. And given the affinity of many European golfers on the PGA for pink and white trousers, be glad they are just khaki. I'm also a firm believer that if your pants have belt loops then you should be wearing a belt.
@telecomic the thoughtful red panda: I heard he only practices to get rid of the whole image of being The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain just to lose his ball and have his friends make fun of him for the Remains of the Day.
@telecomic the thoughtful red panda: Some say playing golf takes both Sense and Sensibility. But I think Hugh Grant has reached the Edge of Reason by taking Extreme Measures to pursue a game which is little more than hitting a ball into the Lair of the White Worm.
She's a nice gal with a good sense of humor. The team gets followed by national press because of Cheyenne, and I think their coach really appreciates it, but they also had a great year this year.
An exemption issued not on merit - rather on the whim of a major sponsor of the sport or an event. For instance, if Brand X Automobiles are sponsoring such-and-such a tournament, they may issue a sponsor's exemption to Player A such that Player A automatically qualifies for the event.
This, just as in Michelle Wie's early trips to the LPGA is a move by the sponsor to drive attention towards the tourney with their name on it.
@stacyinbean: As a Vanderbilt alum, I've kind of always felt bad that we totally ripped off the Wake Forst mascot. Like, they're identical, down to the ridiculous large head.
@jigglyball: I can't imagine why anyone would want to copy that! My ex went there and any time he'd don Demon Deacon apparel I'd pout b/c I thought the thing was ugly (and scary, yes I'm 5). My college mascot was a damn Boston Terrier!

How still we watch the tee /
Above thy green and spotless lawn /
The silent balls whiz by. /
Yet in sand traps curseth /
Golfers deep in shit /
The hopes and fears of all the years /
Are met in thee today.
