There’s been a shocking update in the Scottie Scheffler saga. The
world’s top golfer was arrested for allegedly “dragging” a police officer during a confusing and chaotic moment en route to the golf course.. As it turns out, ESPN reporters were also on the scene and revealed the true story. According to them, the Keystone cop managing the traffic went on an unhinged power trip and turned into a banshee. He was not “dragged,” the ESPN reporters claim. Once this news broke, charges were quickly dropped against Mr. Scheffler. We thought that was the end of it—aside from the massive...

Washington DC's woke Mayor Muriel Bowser will travel on a taxpayer-funded jaunt to Las Vegas with her team just hours from now. It
comes just weeks after the Democrat faced backlash for attending the lavish Masters golf tournament that cost $5,000 per person, Bowser personally revealed. The mayor will travel with a team of 14 on an 'economic mission' to the International Council of Shopping Centers at the Wynn Las Vegas on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, according to her public calendar.

ESPN broadcast the PGA Championship on Thursday and Friday, plus early play on Saturday and Sunday...CBS Sports has prime time rights on weekend play...ESPN has a really interesting new feature (new to me anyway)...If you subscribe to ESPN+ you can choose full time coverage of individual player groups that include Rory McIlroy,
Jordan Spieth, and Bryson DeChambeau (the longest hitter in the PGA)...Since many viewers just follow three or four golfers, that seems like a brilliant business idea to me.

Golf - Fred Astaire Dancing And Playing Golf [youtube video link]

| long ago | Fred Astaire
Fred Astaire dancing & playing golf. In
this video he makes the game look very easy, maybe not at PGA Tour level, but you can see the great man could play and had a low handicap of 10. Astaire wanted to incorporate golf into a dance routine. "Fooling around at Bel-Air one day," he recalled, "I did a few impromptu rhythm steps just before hitting one off the tee, and was surprised to find that I could really connect that way." So, maybe the game is not so difficult after all.

Greg Howells' wife told SFGATE she believes the playwright staged his own death On a summer evening in 1997, a theater director headed out to hit a twilight round of golf in Carmel Valley, the wealthy oceanside town on California’s Central Coast. There was a gentle breeze rustling the oak trees
and tall grass that evening, the sea air a mild 60 degrees. Greg Howells played 12 holes and was never seen again. His cart was found on the 13th tee, with no balls remaining in his bag and some clubs thrown down on the grass. A script of...

WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Joe Biden visited five cities in a multiday trip last week, former President Donald Trump was hardly seen in public, spending most of his time in South Florida. Trump has held just a single public campaign event since he locked up the Republican presidential nomination on March
12: a rally in Ohio funded not by his campaign but by backers of a Senate candidate whom he had endorsed. The events page on his campaign website has had nothing listed. Biden, meanwhile, has been barnstorming the country. After a trip to North Carolina on Tuesday, the...

CNBC ^
President Joe Biden trolled Donald Trump late Sunday after his Republican challenger bragged about winning not one but two “club championship” trophies at his own Florida golf club. “Congratulations,
Donald. Quite the accomplishment,” Biden tweeted. Other social media users already roasted Trump for his boast on Truth Social, which said, “It is my great honor to be at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach tonight, AWARDS NIGHT, to receive THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY & THE SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY.” “I WON BOTH!,” wrote Trump.

Marxist tyrant Letitia James took the first step in seizing Trump’s assets on Thursday after his attorney said he was unable to secure a bond to appeal the massive judgment in the NYC fraud case. Letitia
James filed judgments in Westchester County where Trump’s private estate and golf course is located. President Trump has four days to either pay the judgment or convince the appellate court to allow him to defer the payment pending appeal. Trump’s attorneys fought back in a court filing on Thursday. “By demanding an undertaking in the full amount of the judgment in order to appeal,...

New York Attorney General Letitia James appears to be gearing up to potentially seize Donald Trump's Westchester golf club and Seven Springs estate as the deadline looms for the ex-president to secure the $454 million bond in his civil fraud trial. The
attorney general formally registered judgements in Westchester County where Trump has the two properties just north of Manhattan on March 6. According to the county clerk's online database, the judgements were registered against Trump, the Trump Organization and his two adult sons Don Jr. and Eric. The action was first reported by Bloomberg News.

Letitia James says you can't trust Trump's claim he's unable to cover $454 million fraud bond: New York AG says ex-president's friend and golf partner who said he was rejected by 30 insurance firms is not reliable

New York AG Letitia James is dissing Donald Trump's claim that he can't find any company willing to help him post bond on his $454 million fraud judgement, ridiculing his effort to slash the amount saying the attester he relied on lacks credibility. Dennis
Fan, a lawyer in James' office, took on Trump's contentions in a new filing, just days before a deadline where the AG has said she could seize Trump assets if he doesn't pay the judgement. 'Defendants’ new factual allegations and legal arguments fail to support their extraordinary request for a stay based on a bond or...

A Barrow County man will spend the rest of his life in prison after being convicted of stabbing and killing his girlfriend. Ralph
Junior Butler, 59 of Winder, was accused of the murder of Yoland Hammond, 50, in August 2023.

Prosecutors say Butler hit another man and bashed his car window with a golf club and broke it. Moments later, he stabbed Hammond several times with the broken club. Butler claimed...

An online video has emerged that appears to show Russian soldiers riding a Chinese-made Desertcross 1000-3 "golf cart" as it's blown up by an anti-tank mine. The
footage (warning: graphic content) has been shared by multiple social media channels, including NEXTA Live, an eastern European media outlet. "Russian cosmonauts are training in the Zaporizhzhia direction," the publication said on Telegram. The Russian soldiers appeared to be riding a Beijing-manufactured Desertcross 1000-3 all-terrain vehicle, which resembles a golf cart.

It’s True. The Russian Army Attacked Ukrainian Positions In Open-Top Golf Carts.

Forbes ^
| 3/4/2024 | David Axe
It’s reckless, if not insane, to deploy an open-top, unarmored all-terrain vehicle—in essence, a heavy-duty golf cart—in combat just a quarter mile from the front line. But
two years into Russia’s wider war on Ukraine, Russian commanders are at least reckless if not not insane. Apparently this weekend, a Russian unit—possibly the 488th Motor Rifle Regiment—attacked positions held by the Ukrainian 60th Mechanized Brigade in Yampolivka, in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast. A Russian column including what appeared to be MT-LB armored tractors and at least one T-90 tank motored west toward Yampolivka. That itself wasn’t unusual. What was unusual was...

Why you should never retire; Pleasure cruises, golf and tracing the family tree are not that fulfilling

In an episode of “The Sopranos”, a popular television series which started airing in the 1990s, a gangster tells Tony, from the titular family, that he wants to retire. “What
are you, a hockey player?” Tony snaps back. Non-fictional non-criminals who are considering an end to their working lives need not worry about broken fingers or other bodily harm. But they must still contend with other potentially painful losses: of income, purpose or, most poignantly, relevance. Some simply won’t quit.

Haley: ‘Rogue golf ball’ is closest Trump has come to combat

GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley again slammed former President Trump for his comments mocking her deployed husband, saying a “rogue golf ball” is the closest the former president has ever come to combat. “The
closest Donald Trump has ever come to harm’s way is a rogue golf ball hitting his cart. It’s not surprising that he doesn’t understand the sacrifices made by those in uniform,” Haley wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Trump took aim at Haley’s husband, who was deployed to Africa in June with the South Carolina Army National Guard, for not being on the campaign trail with Haley...
