I've got to assign blame for this boo boo primarily to Johnson's caddy, who as I understand it was not his regular looper. Even in the heat of the moment and with all that gallery tramping in the bunker he should have said something to his player to the effect, "local rules may stipulate that this sand is in fact a bunker so just to be on the safe side – don't ground your club."

There is plenty more blame to go around even on Dustin Johnson's part and while he handled it well and seemed to be philosophical about it, it has to hurt, big time.

Who do you think was to blame for this, if not his caddy?

I prefer to remember Dustin Johnson in better times, such as this candid and funny interview he did on Maginnes Uncut.

U.S. Open final round Sundays have always been special, to the eventual winners obviously, but a U.S. Open Sunday and Fathers Day falling on the same day at Pebble Beach is special and has always provided some sentimental moments. 2010 was no different and as a TV spotter stationed on the 18th hole I was able to get some exclusive footage of two contestants, PGA Tour players who went a step further to recognize the special relationship they have with their Dads.

On the 18th tee,  Drew Watney and Steve Wheatcroft exchanged their regular caddies for their respective fathers and played their last hole with Dad on the bag! I may have been the only one to know it because they didn't make any announcements or inform any tournament officials, they just did it! Are you listening Nike and Mr. Knight – here are two guys who "just do it!"

I am getting kinda tired of the grandstanding tactics that these high profile attorneys use when they have a weak case, blowing smoke to stir up the female population just to create a diversion with some catchy little slogan.

Just remember this little ditty ladies, if you are in need of slogan material: if he doesnt hit, you must submit -

Of course that's a bad joke but just look at this latest sleezy attempt to extort more money from Tiger Woods.

OMG! An ADULT film actress has been traumatized by yet another black weenie.

Buying ladies golf equipment

Women`s golf has always been popular, but is even more so right now, with great women pro players such as Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis leading the way.

Many women became interested in the sport of golf in the 1970s as Women`s Lib Movement was at its peak, in an effort to penetrate the all male golf clubs who refused to budge on their `no ladies` or restricted access for women policies. Nowadays, the same clubs have realised which side their bread is buttered, with women having plenty of disposable income available and ladies now have equal opportunities on the golf course. Hence there has been a huge growth in the market for specialist golf equipment for women.

The choice of equipment is staggering, with golf clubs, ladies clothing, shoes, golf bags, golf balls and golf gloves to suit all requirements, from premium to entry level standard. Golf clubs are available for every level of lady golfer, and most have that touch of femininity in their design.

Premium range manufacturers include Nike Golf, Yonex, Mizuno, and TaylorMade. They supply, golf irons, wedges, fairway woods, drivers and putters as well as stylishly designed golf bags in white and pink. Golf clubs are lighter weight and smaller to suit the women golfer. There are even boxes of golf balls on the market with that hint of femininity. Ladies golf gloves are also in smaller sizes and with design and comfort very much in mind.

Ladies golfing sweaters, polo shirts, weather wear such as fleeces, bright and colourful socks, and skirts, shorts and pants for women are making the golf course a visually stimulating place with vibrant hues contrasting with the drabness of the modern male golfer`s attire. Greg Norman has a trendy range of ladies golf clothing. Hi Tec and CDT Power make very feminine but practical golf shoes with a flash of pastel shade stripes. Rudy Project and Puma have the sunglasses for stylish image conscious golfing ladies who want to turn heads on the course, in startling blue or smoky grey. Ralph Lauren and Adidas produce excellent and fashionable ladies golf clothing.

Women`s golfing sets differ from those available for men in as much as they have wide sole irons for easier quality ball contact, with an undercut cavity to enable improved ball flight and increased distance. Produced with a low centre of gravity and perimeter weighting they create maximum accuracy, forgiveness and power. Ladies cart bags are designed and constructed using ultra light weight materials. For the novice woman golfer who is just starting out, the essential basics required are a cheap golf package set of clubs, which can be bought new for under £100 or used for considerably less. cheap golf accessories are readily available in classified ads columns of local newspapers or online. If eventually bitten by the bug, then is the time to upgrade to a better quality set of clubs to suit her standard of play. Most golf clubs still have a dress code and it is important to access what clothing is required. A good comfortable pair of golf shoes is perhaps the most important item of clothing, as well as a sun visa or sunglasses.

Healthy Perspectives is the New Low Carb

Don't we have enough problems already? To throw health problems on top of everything else, when we have the power to do something about it? Seems a shame, doesn't it? So what better time for me (or anyone else) to get serious about a plan to get control of my body back?

Fortunately the answer to all my problems may have just arrived on the scene in time to save me from myself. There may be a way after all to eat low-carb and not have to overload on protein. Been there done that!

Healthy Perspectives just opened their doors in my home town, and after attending several of their functions, tasting the food, perusing their shelves, I am excited about the possibilities.  Healthy Perspectives is about "creating your best quality of life "Naturally"

I attended their  grand opening and open house on April 16th and I got to sample some of the things you get to eat when you join their program. More about that later on but as an Atkins and South Beach advocate for many years I can tell you that this place is different. Last night I attended an introductory session given by Healthy Perspectives owner, Cindy Bryant. All I can say after that is – where do I sign?

This next bit is totally amateur video at it's finest but I was in a hurry to get it posted so I could talk to Cindy about my role in getting the word out about this wonderful program. And demonstrate to her and Daniel, her husband, just what a genius I am at online promotion and social media marketing!

In the first instance, a 2007 complaint launched an investigation by the Arizona Attorney General's Office's Civil Rights Division over the club's long-standing tradition of separate drinking and dining facilities for men and women members. After a protracted battle, the club ended up losing that one and opened up their dining facilities to all.

This time a female club member has filed suit in court, claiming that the club's board members breached their contract with her by taking full membership dues and failing to offer her the same services as men members.  She alleges that the club's female members are no longer able to play in tournaments. This lady decided she had had enough, resigned, and asked for her dues back. No way says the club.

My question to the board of Phoenix Country Club is, what is it about discrimination that you don't get? In this brave new world of political correctness you would think that these country clubbers would have it figured out by now. I have heard that most of the board there are attorneys and maybe that explains why they like to litigate so much but it must be costing the members plenty. Why not just give the lady back her money and get on with it?

Can anyone out there tell me why they would want another discrimination case lodged against them? Especially since they lost the first one! Does anyone out there feel that the club's board has a right to restrict ladies involvement in tournaments?

You don't have to dedicate yourself to any diet plan or low-carb regimen to lose weight. Just substitute what you might eat in carbs with fat instead, bacon vs donuts, cheese vs cereal, or a sandwich with mayo without the bread.  Doing this will have much less impact on insulin levels, where upswings cause weight gain.
