Best Hole-In-On Ever

I was watching the Golf Channel today, and they had a count down of the greatest hole-in-ones ever. It does not take a genius to know that Tiger Woods would take the top spot. They chose the hole-in-one he hit at the 1997 Phoenix Open, on the Par 3 16th. The reason it was selected, was due to Tiger's status and the reaction of the crowd. They went nuts from the time it left the club until he pick the ball out of the the cup. They even threw their beer on the tee box in celebration. Below is a video to relive the memory. Enjoy!

These Are the Days of Our Lives, Starring John Daly


Last Sunday the Soap Opera that is John Daly had another episode. While at a Hooter's restaurant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, reports say Daly was allegedly so intoxicated medical personnel were summoned to tend to an almost unconscious Daly in front of the restaurant. After being uncooperative with the medical personnel, John was taken to jail and held for 24-hours. John Daly may single handily force the PGA to implement a conduct policy similar to the NFL. Will John ever get it together? How long will his sponsors continue to put up with this behavior?

Feel Good Story from Q-School


In Key Biscayne, Fla., Erik Compton over came tremendous odds to pass the first round of Q-School. Just five months ago, Compton had a heart transplant. Despite the pressure, he came from 7 shots down, shot a 4 under 68 to move on to the second stage of Q-School. Here's a link to the full story on The Golf Channel.

Q-School is full of good stories, such as Michele Wie finishing second in the first stage of the ladies Q-School a couple of months ago. I'm sure as we get closer to the final rounds, we will have more compelling stories from both the PGA's and LPGA's respective Q-School. Last year The Golf Channel provided some great coverage, and I look forward to watching again this year.

Ballesteros' 3rd Surgery Was Successful

I know many of you have been following Seve Ballesteros and his battle with brain tumors. As many of you know my mom recently had brain surgery to remove a couple of tumors, so I know how the family must fell right now. Here is an article from today discussing his third surgery this month (Article on The Golf Channel). We're pulling for you Seve.

Tiger Woods Caddies @ Torrey Pines

On Monday, Tiger Woods revisited Torrey Pines, where he won the 2008 US Open. This time he caddied for a total stranger. Tiger drove the golf cart that resembled a Buick, imagine that. The most interesting part for me was the photo on this Yahoo article that shows Tiger in a deep squat while helping read the line on a putt. The knee must be mending just fine. Here's the video.

Par Fore Golf Blog Raised $3100 for Breast Cancer

Par Fore Golf Family with Liz Hurley (white shirt)

Last Saturday was a very emotional day. Over the last couple of months, I have been able to share the story of my mother’s battle with breast cancer (here is a link to my original post), while I took part in the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run 5K. Let’s get to the good stuff first. I started a contest for those who donated to my cause, and I ended up raising $3,100 for the event. The event in total raised $116,660.00, but I think it will end higher than that because several companies presented donations on race day. The event had nearly 4,000 participates, which makes it the largest race in North Alabama. One of the most touching parts of the day, was to have people I’ve never met tell me how they had never met me, but felt like they knew me already. They were saying this because they read my story on my race page. I think it touched a lot of people because I tried to be as honest as I could be about what it’s like to deal with cancer. I still find it hard to be honest all the time about her situation. When people ask about her condition, I find my self saying she’s OK right now. When in reality, physically, she’s not the same person she was three months ago. This weekend, my son and I look forward to spending some quality time with her. Thanks to all who participated; you truly made a difference.

Below are the winners of the Par Fore a Cure Contest.

1. William from Texas won the Left-handed Medicus Driver from Medicus.com and the Medicus Foundation.
2. Tracey from Alabama won the Right-handed Medicus Driver from Par Fore Golf Blog.
3. Nathanial from Alabama won the 2 year listing from ScenicRentals.com.
Congradulations!

2008 NJCAA National Championship Preview

Last week at the Robert Trent Jones River Course in Hampton Cove, Alabama, 18 of the best college golf teams from around the country battled it out for two day. This was the second year for this fall tournament and it did not disappoint. Darton College of Albany, Georgia won the event in a play over Lon Morris CC. We expect to see many of these team back in the Spring to battle it out on the same course for the 2009 National Title. I was a little surprised to see last years champ, Midland CC, finish in 5th. Below is a link to the final scores.
