OK guys...what is the Ryder Cup ticket status? Just realized it falls on Florida weekend.

What is the plan for those going to the cup? Ryder cup Thursday, Friday and Sunday to Knoxville on Saturday?

I was playing today and really stinking it up. It was hot and I was ready to head in after my drive on 11 went OB.

I dropped one in the fairway just to practice hitting from the fairway (a rare event for me today). I noticed two dogs were on the green. I hit an 8 iron to the edge of the green. The dogs ran over to it and it looked like one picked it up. They ran off the green to a tree by the next tee and sure enough, I saw the dog drop it out of his mouth!

The laugh I got from it made me forget about how bad I was playing (I didn't play any better afterwards but my mood was way better)

No. If a ball is moved after coming to rest by an outside agency, it must be replaced (Rule 18-1.)

If instead the dog had dug a hole, and your ball had come to rest in said hole, you would have had to play out of aforementioned hole. This is due to the fact that, unlike a mole or a goper, a dog is not a burrowing animal, and you are not entitled to the special "burrowing animal" treatment under rule 25.

Are you sure about that? I think there's a decision somewhere in the rule book that says if you can actually catch the dog that stole your ball and hit it out of his mouth, you get free drinks or something.

found out that the great Jon Ward is a member at the club i work at. Apparently he is a pretty big a hole. I saw him getting into his car, didn't look like a very pleasant man.

You're judging someone on how the look from across the parking lot? I've met him a few times and couldn't disagree more.

don't know who's right or wrong about Jon Ward and don't really care, but the on air personality doesn't necessarily reflect the man.

Anybody seen the Kasey Kasem tirade?

That might be a local rule.

What happens if the dog swallows it?

looks like there's going to be a golf reality show with Hank Haney and Charles Barkley. i guess the goal is to fix Chuck's swing.
