BALLY BANDON SHEEP RANCH, Bandon, Oregon: The only "gawf" course on the review list, it actually used to be manicured by sheep. Bring your gutta percha and use a brassie on the greens (they are fuzzy-not quick). The course is built on the windiest Pacific coastal cliffs in Oregon (fact) and has only 12 greens. Find your way around to 18 scores on this cross-country course by using the same greens several times from different tees. What ambiance! It's a great experience. "Caddy Shack" weather happens here, but not much lightning. For traditionalists, it's a private course available by special arrangement only. No more clues. NO COURSE RATING (very tough). COST: About $100 (daily fee) WALKING ONLY. Closed in summer due to no irrigation. Open as dictated by nature.

"Old Tom" ADTI
Almost Did The Impossible.
I don't blame Stewart Cink. If golf wasn't such an honest game, I'm sure that he would have taken a dive in the playoff with Tom Watson. Oh well, Watson has another shot at the Senior British Open next.
Congrats to Stew. It's his first major triumph, won under tremendous negative pressure, to beat a living legend.
It was a hollow victory for most of us, though.

XXVIII Review of "Jackson Hole"
JACKSON HOLE, Jackson Hole, Wyoming: This is the "must play" course if you happen to be visiting Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons. Stay in the area an extra day for this Robert Trent Jones, Jr. track. Featured are good drives at 6200 feet elevation and awesome scenery. R. T. J., Jr. fine tuned the course in 2007. I hadn't noticed that it needed it. RATINGS: 72.5/126 COST: $65 (off-season)-$175, I believe plus cart

Keeping Up With Other Sports News
On July 1, 2009, Ken Griffey, Jr. and Alex Rodriguez hit homers in the same game. So what? THEY ALWAYS HIT HOMERUNS, DUMBO. Surprisingly, it's only the second time two players with 550 home runs have done that. Hank Aaron and Willie Mays did it, before "juice" without the hops had sullied some records.
In fairness, I believe (hope) Ken has been career-clean.
