9 Golfers Sink 9 Putts into Same Hole, Video as Amazing as It Sounds

Apparently, the number of simultaneous putts it takes to astonish and amaze rests at nine.  Sure, four guys sinking four different balls into a hole at the same time would have been nice.

Golf-Hating Kangaroos Delay LPGA Australian Open

While I have never been to Australia, I would like to think that it’s a magical place filled with kangaroos around every corner.  Of course, I’m talking about the soft, cuddly ones portrayed on American cartoons—not the ones that act like a gang of thugs hell-bent on delaying a nice game of golf.  Welcome to the LPGA Tour’s ISPS Handa Australian Open in Yarralumla,...

Condoleezza Rice Drops ‘Roll Tide’ at Pebble Beach, Golf Shot Hits Fan in Head

Golf can humble anyone, no matter how accomplished they are. Just ask Condoleezza Rice, who managed to plunk a spectator in the head at Pebble Beach. Welcome to the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, where the golf is mediocre and the laughs are plentiful, mostly from the antics of one Bill Murray.
