The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) has issued its response to those demanding that they pull their Tour Championship from Georgia due to the state’s recently passed voter reform bill. And their response is, they aren’t going anywhere. In their statement, the PGA emphasized its commitment to the local businesses and charities that will benefit from the Tour Championship being played in Atlanta. “The Tour Championship’s commitment to East Lake has helped our partners transform distressed neighborhoods into healthy and thriving ones, which is a key to ending the cycle of intergenerational poverty,” the statement read. “The charitable and economic benefits...

Tiger Woods was quickly criticized after he broke his silence about the death of George Floyd and released a statement Monday evening on Twitter. The 44-year-old golfer said that his "heart goes out to George Floyd, his loved ones and all of us who are hurting right now. "I have always had the utmost respect for our law enforcement," Woods said. "They train so diligently to understand how, when and where to use force."

President Donald Trump was at his Florida club at Mar-a-Lago when the report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller was delivered on Friday. The news of no new indictments in the Mueller report was enough to cheer Trump supporters who attended a fundraiser hosted by Palm Beach County Republicans where Sen. Lindsey Graham was the keynote speaker. Both President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump briefly made an appearance at the fundraiser, thanking supporters and signaling their interest in what Graham had to say. The president and the first lady did not mention the Mueller report. “If Lindsey’s speaking, I want...

Nonetheless, real Americans continue to ignore racial and ethnic barriers, no matter what the politically correct classes instruct them. The results can be almost comic, on occasion, such as this from The Sentinel: On May 11, the male golf team of Lincoln University, an historically black college in Jefferson City, will compete in this year's PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship. The tournament begins May 11 in Port Lucie, Florida. The goal of the tournament founders was "to provide a national stage for players from minority colleges and universities to compete in NCAA collegiate golf events." That said, not all of...

The sickness spread at funerals. The Fore people, a once-isolated tribe in eastern Papua New Guinea, had a long-standing tradition of mortuary feasts — eating the dead from their own community at funerals. Men consumed the flesh of their deceased relatives, while women and children ate the brain. It was an expression of respect for the lost loved ones, but the practice wreaked havoc on the communities they left behind. That’s because a deadly molecule that lives in brains was spreading to the women who ate them, causing a horrible degenerative illness called “kuru” that at one point killed 2...

Testing tomorrow's headlines.

Greg Norman says he’s a lucky man. The golfer was involved in an accident yesterday at home on Jupiter Island — and nearly lost a hand!

EDGARTOWN Mass. (Reuters) - President Barack Obama delivered a somber statement on the death of American journalist James Foley after a video emerged showing Foley's grisly execution by Islamic State militants. Then Obama proceeded directly to a golf course to play 18 holes. That juxtaposition of events on Wednesday drew Obama a fair amount of criticism as he tries to juggle the U.S. response to rapidly unfolding world crises while taking some time to relax during a two-week August vacation that has been frequently interrupted. "Bam's Golf War," blared the cover of the New York Daily News, showing a picture...

Regulars at the Vineyard Golf Club in Martha’s Vineyard were gob-smacked when President Obama unexpectedly strolled onto a nearby green and they were immediately frisked.

I am sick to death of these so-call Black “intellectuals” spending so much time criticizing President Obama – not because I don’t feel that EVERY politician’s feet should be held to the fire, I do, but because most of the nonsense they’re spewing is pure, unmitigated, ignorance. And what makes it worse is it’s either purposeful ignorance, or ignorance due to a lazy-mindedness that could be corrected with less than ten minutes of objective research. The irony is, people like Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, the entire GOP, and a lot of other uninformed haters are severely criticizing the President, while...

The President will deliver a statement on Syria at 1:15 pm today in the Rose Garden today.

Today in Brief Acts of Criminal Stupidity, a burglary got a face full of concrete as he tripped over himself while stealing golf clubs from a Phoenix home. The only thing that could've made this video better is if it would've ended in an arrest, thus associating a name and mugshot with this act of criminal stupidity.

Maybe we should just let him stay out there  until January- when the adults take back over Remember how the press reamed W for his fondness of the game? Even when he quit so as to show respect for our fighting men and women overseas? As president, Barack Obama's now played four times what Bush did (24 outings) in his entire two terms in office [MSM: -crickets-] Although Dear Leader often bans cameras in a bid to prevent bad imaging, the numbers don't lie... this president is far more concerned with screwing around and taking lavish vacations than with fixing the gargantuan...

Like something out of the Old Testament, an affliction from on high has rained down on Faith Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Fairfax County: golf balls. One smashed the rear window of Pastor Bob Barnett’s Honda Odyssey on a Sunday. Another crashed through a church office window, and a third plunked the youth director on the head, knocking him down as he worked with a group of children. In all, 2,637 balls pelted the property during a recent year-long period, the church claims. Members know because they collected each one. The source is not divine, but the adjacent TopGolf, a state-of-the-art...

Another woman is coming forward claiming she had a long-term affair with Tiger Woods ... and to prove she means business, she's already hired herself a lawyer. TMZ has learned the alleged mistress -- that's number four on your scorecards -- claims this relationship didn't originate in Vegas, it started near Tiger's home in Orlando. The women -- a former VIP cocktail server (sounds familiar) -- has hired Orlando attorney Michael O'Quinn to address the media with her story very soon.

Over the last few months China has experienced something of an unprecedented wave of UFO sightings and events. It began with a series of significant UFO sightings that occurred at and around the time of the July solar eclipse. The rash of UFO sightings culminated with the August mass UFO sighting that occurred in the province of Shandong where countless residents saw and filmed two seemingly huge objects that appeared to be partially covered by cloud in the night sky. In the last month or so UFO sightings in China have died down to a point where almost none are...

Golfing for just the third time, 11-year-old Allan Saylor was whacking the ball around with a friend, not even keeping score. A hole-in-one? No big deal. The sixth-grader fired the ace Wednesday on the 150-yard, par-3 sixth hole at the neighboring Mandan Municipal Golf Course, using a driver borrowed from his buddy. --snip-- "I didn't even know what a hole-in-one was," she said. "We're not golf people."

Golfer starts fire with spark from club RENO, Nev., June 20 (UPI) -- Reno, Nev., fire officials say a brush fire was caused by a golfer who tried to play his ball from a patch of grass near the Wildcreek Golf Course. Reno Battalion Chief Curtis Johnson said the golfer hit his ball off the course and then struck an object with his club while trying to direct the ball back to the fairway, The Reno Gazette-Journal reported Wednesday. The impact of the club on the object created a spark that caused the brush fire, Johnson said. "He was totally...
