We’re doing our best to catch up. We might be about 5 years behind this whole internet thing and web 2.0, or 3.0, or whatever.0 we’re on now, but we’re trying to claw ourselves out of the dark ages.
In our efforts to become enlightened, we’ve installed a nifty new wordpress plugin (don’t worry if you don’t know what that means) that allows our readers, or reader — you know who you are, to share the piles of crap that we shovel out to the world.
At the bottom of each post, you’ll see a bunch of icons. If you scroll over them, they will animate a la the icons on a mac. All of the icons lead to a different social media outlet, such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Facebook, Twitter, etc. If, by some miracle, you enjoy one of the dung heaps that you just read, you can click on one or multiple icons to share our crap with the rest of the online world.
Even if you don’t click on them, it’s pretty cool to hover over them anyway. But, do us a favor… if you like what you read, please click on one of the buttons. Even if you don’t know what it means, but you think the icon is pretty, it would really help us out. We’re trying to gain a readership here, and if no one reads our posts, then we’re just kind of spinning our wheels.
Thanks and let us know if there’s any way that we can improve your experience.

It’s been a busy few days here at the Fairway Bunker headquarters, and a few people have been giving us crap about not updating our fantasy golf picks yet (as if to say people actually read this stuff).
So, we’re going to try to satisfy your appetite a little bit without giving you the full-course meal. We’re just going to tell you who we’re picking instead of the normal format, due to the lack of time to get your picks in. So, here are our picks for the 2009 Travelers Championship from the TPC at River Highlands. If your team sucks this weekend, you know who to blame.
For our A-List, we’re starting Vijay Singh with Stewart Cink ready to launch on Alert-Five (a little Top-Gun reference there).
The B-List is pretty important. Make sure you play Hunter Mahan this weekend. He’s usually in the top-three at the Travelers Championship. We’re also starting J.J. Henry, with David Toms and Bubba Watson on the bench.
Unfortunately, Retief Goosen and Luke Donald aren’t playing this weekend. So, for our C-List, we’re starting Nick O’Hern, and we have Heath Slocum backing him up.
So, there you have it. Again, we’re sorry we weren’t able to get this out earlier to all 3 of you who actually read this. Also, we’re sorry we couldn’t go more in depth about why we picked each golfer. If you want the logic behind the picks, don’t hesitate to let us know and we’ll let you in on the secret.
Let us know how you do.

This is a fantastic look back at Tiger Woods’ legendary US Open from Torrey Pines in 2008. This is an ESPN video narrated by Scott Van Pelt. It does a great job of bringing back the memories and emotions that you felt while watching the performance. Truly legendary.
UPDATE: I had the video embedded, but apparently ESPN didn’t like that. So, to watch the video, go here.
