In week 33 of the season, Tiger Woods is 33rd in the Official World Golf Rankings.
But he’s #4 on another list and #1 on this list from the Miami New Times Food Blog that includes Bill Cosby, Mariah Carey, Madonna and Sean Penn. Check it out and take care of your server. (There’s an interesting altered picture of Eldrick, too.)

ROTELLA’S TOME SHOULD INTEREST YOU
By Fred DeCasperis
Most of us believe that confidence and positive thinking play a role in successful golf performance. A major figure supporting this is Dr. Bob Rotella, the renowned psychologist, teacher, and golf writer.

WOMAN’S INTUITION
By Timothy S. Wyld
Our Fantasy Golf guy offers insight to The Players
This week the PGA Tour heads to Florida for The Players Championship. TPC Sawgrass has what has become the most recognizable hole in golf. Some say that on a difficulty scale of 1 to 10, the hole ranks a 17!! It is the island green most golf fans immediately recognize – number 17.
Interestingly enough it may be the only hole that Pete Dye’s wife gets credit for designing. After excavating sand for the rest of the golf course during the design phase a large deep hole was created where hole 17 was to be routed through. Mrs. Dye told her husband to build an island green, and voila, we have the most devilish par-3 in golf!

CORNER OF HOLLYWOOD & TROY
By John Cooney
Okay. It’s a Tuesday night after a long day at work. Common sense tells me to enjoy a wee bit of God’s greatest gift to man; no, not golf! Wine! But I did find a way to throw a little golf into the mix… watching the Golf Channel movie of the week, “The Greatest Game Ever Played.”

ROUND II: NOT A GOOD DAY
By John Cooney
Not a good day. Started bright and early today with a good night’s sleep and cruised throught the first few hours. I was getting really confident during the morning session; how to fairly take a stance (you might be surprised), what you can and can’t do on the green and how to determine nearest point of relief. I’ve got this! No need for a lot of notes; I know this stuff! Before lunch, I was feeling pretty good about a high score on Monday’s exam.

John Cooney doesn't drop the ball at the USGA rules meeting
WOW…if I only knew what I was getting myself into. Being somewhat of a rules aficionado, I’ve thought I’ve kept up pretty well over the years with the most common rules issues and the changes that occur every four years or so. Now that I’ve got this great gig on CAPITALAREAGOLF.com, I thought I would credential myself by enrolling in the four day PGA/USGA Rules Workshop.

It’s a done deal, according to new owner Rafael Flores
Local restaurateur and golf course owner Rafael Flores confirmed to CapitalAreaGolf.com on Monday that he won the bid of the Normanside Country Club property in the Town of Bethlehem. He said he is the sole owner, with no partners from any other courses in the area.
“I’m pretty excited,” Flores said. “It made my day.”

Editor’s note: This is the second of three stories on the USGA Museum in Far Hills, NJ.
FAR HILLS, NJ – On a random day, you can find a meeting of a state golf association, an average golfer and his wife from California who made a side trip, and even members of the “Red Hat Society” walking the halls of the USGA Museum.
“Our trip started out real small and it just grew and grew and grew,” said Clara Farris, who is not a golfer. “He took me golfing one time and I did divots all over the golf course and said ‘that’s it.’”
Clara and husband Jack of Fullerton, CA were planning their first-ever trip to New York City and it expanded – to Philadelphia, Lancaster, Gettysburg and the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Jack was in the Air Force. Since Jack pays his dues to the USGA each year, he suggested they make a trip to the new Museum and they spent the day.

INSIDE THE ROPES AT TURNING STONE
By Dave Mahoney
http://www.davemahoneygolf.com
Over the course of my life, I have been to major championships, competed with some outstanding players, seen some of the most beautiful courses, but never had the opportunity to be inside the ropes with some of the PGA Tour’s finest players. This week at Turning Stone gave me an up close and personal behind the scenes look at the PGA Tour. Read the rest of this entry »
