GolfBlogger: Golf News, Golf Reviews and Golf Opinion

I recently played in a golf outing at Warren Valley golf course. It’s not in good shape, and I question its actual pedigree, but it’s billed as a Donald Ross design. And it’s readily accessible to the public as part of the Wayne County rec system.

I’ll have more photos and a full write up later.

Tiger apparently has taken out a $54 million mortgage for a place in Florida.

I suppose that after the divorce, the cash flow is a little tight.

More college spirit.

Drive for Show, Putt for Dough.

In this golf game, players score points for holing out on the first putt.

Once all players are on the green, distances to the hole are evaluated. If the player furthest away one-putts, he scores four points. The next closest then has a chance to one-putt for three points; then the next for two, and the closest to the hole for one point.

If a player holes out from off the green, he scores five points. A player who three putts is penalized 1 - 3 points, as agreed upon before the round.

One Putt can be played for fun, or as a betting game. In the latter case, a previously agreed amount will be paid to the winner based on the difference in the total scores.
