Burke Goes After New USGA President
ESPN.com - GOLF - New USGA prez criticized for ties to Augusta
Associated Press
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The incoming president of the U.S. Golf Association will not give up his membership at Augusta National, despite protests from a women's group that his credibility is damaged by belonging to a golf club that has no female members.
Full Story
I think Martha Burke wasn't paying attention in High School Civics. Augusta is a private club, and under the first amendment to the Constitution (the same amendment that allows her to shoot off her mouth without repercussions) can restrict membership. The USGA is a public organization, and does not have that right. Fred Ridley also has the right to belong to whatever group he wants.
Burke clearly has a bug up her butt about Augusta, but I can't see what good her ranting is doing. With all of the womens rights issues around the world, you would think that the head of the Council of Women's Organizations would have something better to do. What about the denial of womens' rights in Iran? Or efforts to help women recovering from horrible human rights abuses under dictatorships in Afghanistan and Iraq? Or the so-called "glass ceiling" in the US?
Besides, I thought we had resolved that private life-public life dichotomy during the Clinton Administration. According to Libs like Burke, Slick Willie's private life was nobody's business, as long as it didn't spill over to his public life. Why doesn't the same standard hold for Fred Ridley?

Woods Heads To Boot Camp
SI.com - Golf - Woods wants to find out what makes him mentally tough - Monday March 22, 2004 4:53PM
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Tiger Woods sometimes adds green to his wardrobe in April, but that usually means a jacket from Augusta National -- not fatigues from Fort Bragg.
The day after the Masters, the world's No. 1 golfer will swap his spikes for Army boots.
Full Story
I wonder what Eilen thinks of this.

Daly climbs up to 53rd place in the world ranking in his bid to qualify for the Masters
Daly climbs up to 53rd place in the world ranking in his bid to qualify for the Masters
John Daly climbed to 53rd in the latest edition of the Official World Golf Ranking, which was issued Monday in London, and dropped to ninth on the PGA Tour money list with $1,269,646.
Daly, the two-time major champion who won the Buick Invitational in San Diego approximately a month ago and finished tied for 10th in the Bay Hill Invitational on Sunday, must make the top 50 in the official ranking or the top 10 on the money list after this week's Players Championship to qualify for the Masters.

I'm pulling for the guy. He is a real blast of fresh air in a PGA full of bland corporate golfers.

Campbell’s Putting Saves The Day
PGATOUR.COM - Putting powers Campbell's run
Campbell's stats for the week
Stat Number (Rank}
Driving Accuracy 69.6 % (T33)
Driving Distance 294.4 (15)
Putts per Round 25.8 (1)
Putts per GIR 1.633 (2)
Campbell's putter was clearly the hottest this week at Bay Hill -- ranking first and second in the field in the two major putting categories.
The old saw "Drive for show, putt for dough surely applies here. While neither his accuracy or distance would have put him even in the top 15, Campbell's putting secured him a victory. If he can keep this up, he may very well have a good shot at a green jacket on Augusta's tricky greens.

Is Nordegren Bad for Woods?
SI.com - Golf - Woods continues to struggle as Bay Hill winning run ends - Sunday March 21, 2004 8:40PM
ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters)—Tiger Woods’s bid for a fifth straight Bay Hill Invitational title ended in miserable fashion on Sunday when the world number one shot a one-over 73 in the final round to finish on even-par 288, 18 off the leader.
You’ve got to wonder what’s happened to Tiger. He’s been in slump for some time now. Is Elin Nordegren bad for Tiger’s game? Jack Nicklaus said that his own marriage was good for his game—and that the same would hold true for Tiger. But everyone reacts differently to love and romance.
