GPW: Blast from the Past
I couldn't let Jimbo's fledgling Golf Pic of the Week (http://golfpicoftheweek.blogspot.com) have all the fun. Here are some ol' pics from the archives. Remember the days when you had to develop film and hope for the best? I have an old briefcase full of pictures -- probably 35 rolls of film and these are the only decent ones in the whole lot. Unlike the 'High-Quality Golf Pictures' found over on GPW, these pics aren't that great (and I apologize for the red-spot on each one. If you think I'm rescanning all of them, you're crazy.) Hopefully, I can make up for it with 'Semi-Intelligent/Snappy Commentary'. Enjoy! You may not recogni

St Andrews Club Championship
I had the pleasure of watching my best friend Jefe compete in the championship flight of the St. Andrews Club Championship earlier today. Not the Old Course at St. Andrews, a.k.a. the Home of Golf, but the Lakewood Course at St. Andrews in West Chicago, IL, what we affectionately call the Other Home of Golf. We're still not exactly sure what possessed Jefe to enter the tournament, perhaps he was looking for another piece of hardware to balance out the Ballynizzle Cup that's currently sitting on his mantle. Or maybe he's trying to get tournament tested because he knows I'm gunning for him in 2011. The prestigious Club Championship is a two-day, 36-hole event played on both course

Top College Basketball Programs Over the Last 10 Years: The 1 Seeds
Just to get the methodology straight...the rankings are based on the average Colton Index ranking (body-of-work performance of wins and losses over an entire season, including postseason play) over the past 10 years. NCAA Tournament performance is weighted double (each game counts as two). Each season counts the same. To the extent that you don't agree with the rankings, it probably means that you weight these things differently. More than likely you weight recent performance and tournament performance more heavily, or internally rank teams on how you expect them to perform over the next 5-10 years. For each team, I show tournament performance by year as well as rankings for the first

The Kingsley Club Photo Tour
Back by popular demand, here is another one of Tim Bert's exclusive photo tours. This one features the Kingsley Club in northern Michigan. The Kingsley is a personal favorite of Wegoblogger31, although I'm not sure if anybody enjoys it more than Tim. You can see my 2008 write-up of Kingsley Club here.
