 Caddy shack
- Milwaukee style
Golf
is practically a religion in the Milwaukee area with the amount of
golf courses dotting the western communities. We sent our writer and
golf fan Judy Steininger on a mission to find some funny adedotes from
local golfers. Here are some of the stories she heard while she was
out on the driving range.

 Garcia
builds an early lead
PONTE VEDRA BEACH,
Fla. - The flag was in a tempting location, back and left on the
13th green at the TPC Sawgrass with a pond running alongside the
left side. Sergio Garcia took dead aim with a 7-iron and the
ball never left its target.

Anthony
Kim cruises to win
at Wachovia Championship
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -
Knee surgery prevented Tiger Woods from attempting to defend his
Wachovia Championship title. Anthony Kim didn't disappoint fans
at Quail Hollow Club looking for Tiger-like brilliance.
|
Toms
breaks out of slump with 67 to take Wachovia lead
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -
Fans looking for big names to follow at the Wachovia
Championship had plenty of options despite the absence of
defending champion Tiger Woods.
|
Big
names, but no Tiger, at Wachovia Championship
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -
Thousands of fans screamed as if they were at a rock concert a
year ago as Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan made their way to the
first tee on the most anticipated pro-am of the year of the PGA
Tour.

Scott
beats Moore in playoff at Nelson
IRVING, Texas - Adam
Scott felt he needed to make a statement by winning Sunday. He
did, though, not quite the way he wanted to do it.
|
Scott
takes Nelson lead into final round
IRVING, Texas - Adam
Scott figured there was no point wasting his good play to take
money from his mates in Australia. So he cut short his trip home
to get back on the PGA Tour.
|
Watson,
North lead Legends
SAVANNAH, Ga. - No
wonder Tom Watson and Andy North campaigned so hard for a return
to team play in the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. They're very
good at it.
|
McCarron
having "lot of fun" at Nelson
IRVING, Texas - They
were words Scott McCarron had to wonder if he'd ever say again
in regards to playing golf.
|
Watson,
North lead Legends
SAVANNAH, Ga. - Tom
Watson and Andy North have been partners in victory before on
the Champions Tour. This time, however, it means a lot more.
|
Rested
Moore shares lead at Nelson
IRVING, Texas - Ryan
Moore got tired of trying to play through the pain: the sore
shoulder, the surgically repaired left hand that was still
bothering him two years later. So he took some extra time off
this spring.
|
|
 Wie
struggles to 75 in 1st round at Williamsburg
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The two best
players in women's golf played together and seemed to push each
other to keep doing better, the day ending with both high on the

and found herself in another playoff.
|
Sorenstam

AVENTURA, Fla. - At
last year's ADT Championship, when Annika Sorenstam's first
winless season since her rookie campaign came to a disappointing
end, she issued what seemed like a vow.
|
Sorenstam
holds lead over
hard-charging Creamer in Aventura
AVENTURA, Fla. -

the leaderboard entering the final round of the Stanford
International Pro-Am.
|
Sorenstam
stalking the lead at Stanford Pro-Am
AVENTURA, Fla.- While
almost everyone else in the field scrambled for pars, Annika
Sorenstam started her second round with three straight birdies.
|
Pressel
struggles on a tough opening round in Aventura
AVENTURA, Fla.
- Morgan Pressel is playing this week about an half-hour
south of her home, before plenty of friends who typically never
get to see her work up close.
|
Ochoa
makes it 4 in a row
REUNION, Fla. -

and catch a flight home to Mexico.

Nurturing
golf
A round of golf can be
a vital business tool. It can help break the ice in a new
business relationship or assure a client of a company’s
capabilities. The Executive Women’s Golf Association helps women become more confident on the golf course so
they can use golf to accomplish their business goals. |
Swing Spots
An abbreviated guide to golf courses near you... |
Founding
fore
In 1901, park
commissioner August Rebhan, considered by many to be the father of
public golf in Milwaukee, proclaimed: “Golf is altogether the best
open-air game ever devised by man. It is played in places where the
air is pure, it gives an incentive for long walks, and that it is
doing a vast good
for thousands in this city can no longer be questioned.” |
Reinhart on rules
With spring in
the air, Wisconsin golfers descend on driving ranges and golf courses to
enjoy the popular sport. Mequon resident James Reinhart is no
different — except he may not be swinging a club as often as he
would like. |
Kendall &
kids
Skip
Kendall’s year 2000 season earnings of nearly $1 million clearly
attest to his ability to play at a consistently high level in his
chosen profession. Although as of this writing, he has not won a
tournament, in last year’s tour he finished in the top ten three
times. |
She's under par
Chances are you won’t see Cathy Jo
Johnson’s name pop up on ESPN’s Sports Center when an LPGA event
is highlighted. She doesn’t have a big-dollar deal with a sponsor to
wear a corporate logo on her golf shirt and visor, either. And her
name is not quite synonymous with Wisconsin golf. |
It's
tee time for Charlie
With the coming of summer, most
16-year-olds are looking toward days of being able to spend time
hanging out with friends. That’s not the course Charlie Delsman is
pursuing. |
Golf
thrills keep coming
I love
to practice,” says Whitefish Bay’s Katie Falk,
president of Realty Executives. “I practice more than I
play.” |
|
The nasty nine
Golf
is a good news/bad news thing. The bad news? There aren’t enough
months to play it. |
|
Holes
we love to hate
Put them
all on the same course, and the golf widow would cease to
exist. |
|
Keep
it silly, stupid
Bob Brue
treats the United States Golf Association’s 14-club
limit with gleeful disdain.
