Jackson Tribute Glove
In a ‘touching’ nod to the King of Pop, nearly all the PGA Tour pros at last week’s John Deere Classic wore gloves on just one hand. The one-glove tribute to Michael Jackson has really caught fire and is extending beyond the PGA Tour to all major world golf tours, a source has confirmed. “They’re all doing it… PGA, LPGA, European, Nationwide, Futures,...

Emo Erik was shocked to learn that Potomac State’s Jack Dempsey had stolen his 2008 Junior Division Title. So startled in fact, that he refused to turn in his scorecard at a recent men’s tourney, telling momsie that no way would he show a card over 80! The prima dona triple crown winner apparently has some kinks in his armour this season and pundits are wondering if he can actually...
