We have all made this humorous, which is great and fun, but there are grains of truth that could be legitimate headlines we would like to see:

Walking Makes a Comeback in Golf

Golf Reduces Chemical Use by 50%

First Tee Spawns Real Success Stories

Pro Tour to Play on Lesser Conditions as an Experiment

Interest in LPGA and Amateur Golf Increases

Famous GCA builds 6800 yard course, here's why!

Where to Start, ah yes

MELVYN HUNTER MORROW TAKES OVER AT THE R & A.

Throwing Clubs, Riding Cart, using distance aids and playing courses over 6,700 yard will now carry a Penal Penalty unless covered by an insanity declaration.

New Courses will only be allowed on Land Fit For Purpose and shares in JCB took a dive on the stock market this afternoon when Morrow appointment was confirmed.

But as I am already dead and living in Hell I suppose I must suffer the current poor discipline of golf down under suffers ;)

Greg,

I presume that would be a anticipated headline for you ONLY if the story didn't tell us that they were bought out by even bigger management companies?

It also suggests what would be a likely, if not desired headline

"Golf More Affordable but Golfers Still Complaining"

"We want better conditions and lower prices, they say"

Jeff-You wouldn`t consider her stealth? She hid pretty good behind Gloria Allred until Eldrick forked over the $10,000,000. ;)

If Woods paid her $10M, even after the 50% CA tax take, and Allred's fee of 33% (3M) she only has $2M left, but it would seem to be enough to not have to take a crappy private eye positions.  If she's not too bright, maybe she was attracted by the slang name for the position -  a dick.
