Sports - 20 July 2006

I just read a book, and in it was a story about an American pro golfer who was invited by the King of Saudi Arabia to play golf with him in his kingdom. He was picked up by the King's private jet and to cut the long story short ... they played and had good times. Before the golfer flew off, the King wanted to give him a gift. The golfer politely refused and said that the King has been a gracious host and blah blah blah. But the King insisted .. so the golfer finally said that he collects golf clubs and maybe the King could give him golf clubs. So he flew home and a few weeks later, while he was wondering about what sort of golf clubs he'd get from the King of Saudi Arabia, one day he received a letter containing a deed to a 500-acre golf course in the US.

Now, is this story true and if so, who's the golfer? Does anyone know?

Are the Bills switching to those old-school blue unis w/ the white helmets for good this season? I know they wanted to in the middle of last year, but couldnt cause teams are allowed to wear their "alternate" uniform only twice in a season.

I know it's only late July, but The Tigers are playing with alot of heart and soul right now.

We finally took 2 of 3 from the white sox in this last series against them, and have proven we can beat them.

Is this the beginning of a new Dynasty?

I find it absolutely astounding that man did not serve any time for his part in the Palace incident. If that were anyone else, they would be serving time for years! He started it and fanned the damn flames! I know he lost millions in pay, but that's nothing to a star player like him with a supersized income.

Our legal system is warped.

It has hand, leg and grappling techniques. And unlike other styles of martial arts (kung fu, etc) you start learning self defense from the first day in class.
