Chad Campbell and is Sasquatch driver held on to win the “star studded” Bob Hope in Palm Springs. -25, aim low sheriff. Putting won the tourney for him though, with an average of 1.60 putts per GIR.

I was punching in course info into the Eat Golf Course Directory when this thought came to my mind.
Years ago I was in Mesquite Nevada with a buddy golfing and gambling in the desert. We went into the then Peppermill to gamble one night. The craps table was packed so we figured it was a hot game. When we squeezed in and started playing, the man throwing the dice was non other than Arnie himself!

There’s a company called Soldius from the Netherlands which makes a golf bag with solar panels on it. This might be good for golfblogger‘s ridiculous item of the week. The solar panels allow you to charge your cell phone or blackberry.
If you’re golfing and you use your cell phone so much that you need to recharge it on the course, then you should just go away. I understand having a cell phone in case of emergency, but jabbering away on cell phones on the course is a big no-no in my book.
