Kenny Perry Controversy

Maybe it's not really a controversy, considering it happened months ago when Kenny Perry won the FBR Open in Phoenix. What's done is done, right?

Nevertheless, the debate carries in several golf talk forums, thanks to YouTube clips like this one.

Now, I see nothing wrong here. As long as the ball doesn't move when placing the club behind the ball to hit the shot--isn't that OK as far as the rules are concerned? Or, is all that patting down a sign of improving his lie? Can you see more ball after he pats the grass down than before he did it? Hmmm...

What do you think?

"Not Your Father's Golf Tournament...

...or your mother's either."

That's the Puma Open's tag line, and judging by some of the videos that document last year's party, er, golf tournament, it's a fitting slogan. Hey would you expect anything less from one of golf's hippest apparel lines?

Last year, the 9-hole non-traditional scramble golf tournament visited 6 cities, this year they've bumped it up to 15. (It kicked off last weekend in Scottsdale. Click here for a full list of cities and dates.)

Highlights include trying to play one hole as fast as possible (finally somebody understands golf!) and a hole in which the only club you can use is a 7-iron (on second thought...). Post-round fun includes gaming tables and by the looks of things, drinking.

Cleverly crafted goatees highly recommended. Expect irreverence and a hell of a good time.

A Hair (hare) beats a Tiger

Sean O'Hair hung on to win to the Quail Hollow Championship (even with a couple late bogeys) and beat a field that included Tiger Woods.

Not that we editors know everything, well, we know a lot, but I've long believed that O'Hair is a player who really does have "the stuff." Psychologically he has some demons to slay (hopefully the Quail Hollow did the trick), and once his confidence catches up to his remarkable ability, the guy is going to win more tournaments and no doubt a few majors along the way.

Check out his awesome move right here.
