18 Holes With Joe Looney By: nfl sports game | - I had the unique privilege of getting to play a round of golf with Wake Forest senior offensive guard Joe Looney at the Atlantic Coast Conference Kickoff in Pinehurst earlier this summer.

Dufner Seems Numb After Throwing Away Major Win By: icefire | - Jason Dufner showed little emotion at the PGAChampionship. Not when he seemed to have the Wanamaker Trophy wrapped up, norwhen he threw it all away.
As the sun set on Atlanta Athletic Club, he just seemed numb.
Dufner ended up on the wrong end of one of the greatest comebacks in majorchampionship history Sunday. Keegan Bradley overcame a five-shot deficit withthree holes left in regulation, then beat Dufner in a three-hole playoff.
The U.S. Open winner finished up his PGA Championship on Sunday with asecond straight 74, sending him to 11-over par and tied for 64th. He said hisinjured right wrist felt better and he was simply glad for a few days off.
Though McIlroys not heading home to Northern Ireland, hes off toCincinnati.
I hear its nice up there this time of year, he said with a grin.
Great putting is so often the decider when it comes to most tournaments, and on the days you are really putting well it is truly a great feeling (not for your opponent!).
But if you can't drive it in the fairway, you'll probably be putting to save par at best rather than putting to make birdies.

Afamily Past Time: Paintball By: greg7dejst | - If touch football is not for you, why not play a little kickball with your kids. Set up a diamond similar to a baseball diamond. Now the pitcher rolls a large soft ball, like a playground ball, on the ground to the "batter." Only in kickball, the batter kicks the ball and runs to first base. Since the ball is soft, the fielding team can throw the ball at the runner to get him out. Since the kicker will almost always manage to kick the ball and foul balls are rare, this is a classic game to ... Tags:paintballfootballvolleyballsportsFamily
