The golfer’s tan thread made me think of a new study my wife mentioned this morning. Apparently there is a new study that shows some of the more popular sunscreens could actually be accelerating cancer…

Interesting, short St. Louis Post Dispatch article on how Anheuser-Busch is using the influx of Asian players to the LPGA to its marketing advantage…

Interesting Wall Street Journal article this weekend on why the number of kids playing golf is shrinking.
Golf's Big Problem: No Kids (WSJ)
After reading this article it reinforced why I joined the club I did. It has a great junior program with a great executive course that is playable by kids.
Anyone ever been to FarmLinks located in Sylacauga, Alabama? I have a co-worker that is planning a guy’s trip there and I was curious if anyone had played there and if so what you thought about the course and accommodations?

I love to read and avidly read many different genres. I am curious what books the forum members can’t forget or have been influenced by. I put together a quick list below with some notes on several of the books that have been important in my life.
• The Bible (The most important and...
The talk about Black Jack gum got me to thinking about licorice. If you could only have one flavor of licorice the rest of your life what would it be? Actual licorice flavored licorice, cherry, strawberry, grape, other?
For me it’s a no brainer it would be the black licorice licorice. I...
Diane I am not saying this is your mindset but it is similar to the thought process that if you have a Southern accent you must be stupid. I always chuckle when I am involved in a business deal that involves a person from the South and a person from the Northeast. Often you see the...
This may already be a thread but I couldn’t find it.
I bought a set of clubs and started playing when I was 31. Before that I had only played once when I was 22. My wife and I decided to start the game together since it was a game we could both play well into our later years. She had...
How do you handle playing situations where the group in front of you is playing slowly? I have always played under the assumption that “playing through†should be offered by the slow group and not have to be asked for.
Yesterday, however, I finally had to ask to play through a twosome...
I am interested in buying a small travel humidor and was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a brand/type to purchase? I am looking for something that will hold approximately 10 cigars. Want to be ready for my golf trip in October! :banana::alien2:

Rawson's prescription for the LPGA

Roguepixel’s thread about his first eagle got me to thinking. Can you remember where you got your first eagle, birdie and par? I most definitely do. Didn’t bother including first hole in one since I can’t imagine someone forgetting that one (still looking for mine). :angry:
If the salary was the same would you rather be the commissioner of the PGA or the LPGA at this time in history?
It might sound crazy but I think I would pick the LPGA. It would be a very difficult job but I think there is so much potential to grow the popularity of that organization.
The reason I ask is Saint Louis County is considering passing a county wide ban on smoking in restaurants and other public places. I think this is just another way of taking away individual rights and my reasoning is below…
To me this is a private property issue and nothing else. I am fine...
