Back in the 80's, Australian ladies golfer Jan Stephenson was the LPGA Tour's pin-up and once famously posed naked for a calendar by sitting in a bath tub of golf balls. As a straight talking Aussie, Jan noted that as the golfing viewers were predominantly male (and visual !?!), girls in the ...

Grand Slam of Golf

Kings of Leon

After my recent travels I've started to rediscover some of my old passion for music. My MP3 player has been a trusted partner and one which has made the miles go faster. One band I've always liked, since their first album (Youth and Young Manhood), is Kings of Leon. Besides making good ...

America won the 37th Ryder Cup in emphatic style at Valhalla, Kentucky over the weekend, claiming their first win in nine years by 16 1/2 to 11 1/2. Team US led from start to finish, and in reality, never looked like surrendering their advantage. Europe played catchup over the three days ...
