Every once in a while I like to see what’s going on in the world of golf that doesn’t always relate to the actual game. Sometimes you get to a real good story ala Tiger Woods and his problem…where I still fail to see where the problem is. Joking! Regardless, it’s interesting to see that although some of these tour pros can be famous they still have regular joe problems.
Leading off is a rather funny tidbit of how Rory McIlroy departed Newark International Airport for the Irish Open only to land without his clubs. Somewhere between Newark, NJ and Dublin, Ireland his clubs magically separated from him. I can go on but I think his tweets to United says it all.
Hey @united landed in Dublin yesterday morning from Newark and still no golf clubs… Sort of need them this week… Can someone help!?

Next in line, and I must say, I was in shock when I heard Phil Mickelson could have been tied to an insider trading investigation. No way! Lefty? Philly Mick? I don’t believe it. He comes off too good of a person. Not that I know him personally but he definitely seems that way. Granted this might not be breaking news but its definitely something new to me and quite scandalous for the golf world. Apparently, there are stories out freeing good ol’ Phil from these nasty allegations. Hopefully, it works out for you Phil…by the way I got a hot stock for ya’!
Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
