Desperate Tour Wives

The Florida Times-Union's Garry Smits writes like, a million stories previewing the fifth of golf’s four majors. One of them is a look at Tour wives and how they are not all just retired flight attendants. They do amazing charity work, and Smits quotes the head of PGA Tour player relations to back up this assertion!

Also this weekend… John Huggan is really down on the US majors , except The Players Championship. He says it should be a major. Unfortunately, Huggan’s piece will not qualify for GS.com’s first ever “inane golf writing watch” because it’s way too interesting and funny. This contest will search long and hard to find the first and subsequent stories by bored newspaper columnists reciting the wordy mantra of PGA Tour Vice Presidents: “the Players should be golf’s fifth major.” To win, Huggan needed to make the ridiculous assertion that golf needs a fifth major (and the TPC is it!).

Also, Golfweek's Rex Hoggard celebrates the crop, err, rough at Bay Hill becuse it returned sanity to the flogging that took place at early Tour stops (of course, with this ridiculous rough come 5 hour rounds, an inspiring Kenny Perry win and peace on earth).
