"Part of this saga makes me feel like I’m in high school again. Woods and Foley probably aren’t going 'steady’' yet. They’re likely just 'seeing each other.'"

Sean Martin all but wonders if Tiger and Sean Foley will be updating their Facebook relationship status to let us know they are working together after Tuesday's press conference.

But on a serious note, Martin observes this:

In a news conference Tuesday, Woods said he’s been trying to limit his head movement on his backswing, “so that I can start going down the line again, start using my legs again properly. I feel like . . . I can use my legs and my rotation the way that I know I can.”

“Leg drive’’ and “rotation’’ are two key principles of Foley’s teaching. He’s hardly the first person to emphasize these principles. But he focuses on them more than most. Foley once told me that technology “was the death of the ballstriker,” partly because it lessened the need to compress the ball at impact.

Hey anyone who dares to talk about a side effect of technology must be good. Tiger, you have my blessing.

Sea Island Sold For $179.5 Million

WSJ's Carrick Mollenkamp and Lingling Wei report that investors are walking away from $340 million in debt. Thanks to reader Stone for this:

As part of a pact expected to be announced Wednesday, funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management LP of Los Angeles and Avenue Capital Group in New York have agreed to pay $197.5 million in cash for Sea Island. Under the deal, Sea Island also is expected to seek bankruptcy-court protection Wednesday.

The 84-year-old resort is famed for its Cloister hotel, four golf courses, exclusive clubs, a private development called Ocean Forest Golf Club, and hosting a Group of Eight summit in 2004. Sea Island hit a financial wall when it couldn't repay debt taken on by Bill Jones III, the company's chief executive and the fourth generation of his family to lead Sea Island, as part of a $395 million renovation and expansion of the resort in 2006 and 2007.

Golf Channel Is Young Forever!

Wow, GC going all Jay-Z using a song with an Explicit tag! (That would be the part after the first 20 seconds, right? Explicity bad, eh?)

Either way, I just know this is going to bring in the kids. And a call from the Commissioner letting it be known that if they ever cue up this music during PGA Tour "product," that 15 year deal will come to a screeching halt!



Feherty: Monty Has Filed An Injunction To Keep "Story out of the newspapers"

Josh Hart reports the remarks made by CBS golf announcer David Feherty on Dan Patrick's radio show. You can listen the interview here.

Feherty, a golf commentator for CBS Sports added: "Apparently there's been an injunction filed to keep this story out of the newspapers."  

Host Dan Patrick, who seemed to know more, but wanted to say less, did add: "There are pictures..." and then began to talk about Monty's earlier divorce.

Brooks has more, saying that it involves photos and would explain a curious recent question from the Daily Mail about Monty quitting as captain.

That court fight allegedly involves embarrassing photos of Montgomerie obtained by the U.K. tabloid. In order to block the supposed photos from being published by NOTW, Montgomerie has allegedly obtained an injunction from London’s high court.
