Clive Seymour, a 74 year old grandfather of 6, was aiming for the 10th hole at Hele Park Golf Club, in Devon, England, when he scored a hole in one. The only problem? His ball went into the 4th hole.
“It’s a great feeling, even if it was in the wrong hole.” Seymour said.
You bet it is.

Courtesy of the Courier-Journal, servicing the fine folk of Louisville, Kentucky and southern Illinois comes this headline regarding my favorite sporting event of them all, high school girls golf. The story itself isn’t that exciting but some headline writer made himself very satisfied with this one:
Freshman Talley Makes Best of Her Two Soggy Holes
UPDATED
Ha, so apparently they realized their error and changed the headline to “Freshman Talley Makes the Best of a Soggy Day”
Unfortunately I didn’t get a screengrab of it, because I’m an idiot, but, trust me, the above WAS the original headline. Now this story is just about high school golf, BORRRRRING.
Dave Glauser is just a typical dude from Toledo, he’s 61 years old, works as an auto parts salesman and enjoys playing sports. It just so happens though, that he’s awesome at sports. On Monday, while playing a round at Giant Oaks Golf Club in Temperance, Ohio, he fired in a hole-in-one. That’s pretty neat, but not extraordinary, lots of people have done that, even at his age.
However, this is now his 3rd hole-in-one, to go along with the 3 times he’s rolled a perfect 300 bowling game. According to about.com, the odds of an amateur golfer hitting a hole-in-one is 1 in 12,750 and for rolling a perfect game, 1 in 11,500. This guy has now done both, 3 times each!
“He’s very modest about it,” Glauser’s daughter, Allison Schroeder, said. “He pretends like he’s calling about something else and then he says, oh by the way, I got a hole-in-one. He’s very excited about it, but he’s not the type to brag.”
Glauser has no intention of slowing down, “I’ll keep going as long as I can. I’ll keep doing the same old thing, playing until I can’t play anymore. I just love the challenge and I try to keep active.”
Because I wouldn’t want anyone out there to not be kept up-to-date on the important college athlete signings, I bring you this bit of important news via Sports by Brooks; Wake Forest University recently scored the 2-time Arizona high school women’s golf champion. The young lady in question, Cheyenne Woods, has been nearly as dominant as her uncle, some guy named Tiger Woods.
The younger Woods, who has been playing golf since she was 5, received training from her late grandfather, Earl Woods, who was instrumental in making Eldrick Woods into Tiger Woods. Unfortunately, because of the distance between their homes, Earl was never able to give her the same kind of instruction that led to Tiger being on his way to the title of greatest golfer of all time. However, both Tiger and Earl watch(ed) video of her playing and provid(ed) advice and evaluation.
Cheyenne has already won the American Junior Golf Association Nike Golf Junior, the Big I Junior Classic and two U.S. Kids Golf World Championships and she also shares quite the resemblance to her famous uncle.
All the hoopla surrounding her doesn’t seem to faze Cheyenne, she told the Charlotte Observer: Continue reading ‘Another Woods Arrives to Dominate Golf’
Jon Daly and Kid Rock teamed up together at the Buick Pro-Am event in Michigan, making possibly the first complete white-trash team in golfing history. Showing that you can take them out of the trailer but you can’t take it out of them, check out Jon Daly teeing off using Kid Rock’s tallboy Budweiser can.
I only wish Daly golfed in a pair of overalls also, it would make the day that much more special. Someday… Also, I love the crowd reaction, particularly the guy who calls for Daly to shotgun the beer. Golf is branching out!

It was a nice Monday morning tournament at Eagle Trace Golf Course in Broomfield, Colorado, a group of young golfers, aged 7-12 were starting their tournament when all of a sudden a bunch of limosines pulled up. If this were an ABC reality show, these kids would be treated to a series of PGA stars who would come out and teach the kids some stuff and change their lives forever.
That didn’t happen.
Instead, out of the limos came the players of Shotgun Willie’s Charity Golf Tournament. The event, paired patrons of the classy local strip club with the strippers who served as caddies.
“It was mistiming,” said Eagle Trace Manager Evelyn Koch. I’d say that’s an understatement. “I cannot tell you the girls didn’t flash out there,” Koch continued, “But it wasn’t a free-for-all.”
For those young kids, this was probably the most influential day of their early golf careers. It probably made them want to play the game all that much more. The PGA should consider this as a potential marketing maneuver.
For the 144 patrons of the strip club who came out for the charity event, this day will also be long remembered. I didn’t even know that golf courses allowed Def Leopard and Motley Crue songs on the courses! Or that the hole flags could be used as stripper poles; they’re much sturdier than I thought.
The article goes on, getting more and more hilarious:
“There was nothing inappropriate going on around the clubhouse when the kids were around,” said golf instructor Dustin Moser, “There was a handful of girls that got a little out of control.”
Moser admitted several dancers were scolded for “top-dropping.”

The LPGA has recently seen an influx of interest in their events; it seems that they are moving away from the butch lesbian era and into a more fan (read: man) friendly lipstick lesbian era. For example there is Natalie Gulbis with all her FHM “fame”…
But everyone knows her, and frankly, she doesn’t do it for me. Then there is Ms. Anna “Country Club Charlize Theron” Rawson who knows how to get the ball in the hole and she does not have that same problem.
The Slanch Report has started an online petition asking the MLB Network to air the Dock Ellis no-hitter he threw on June 12, 1970 against the San Diego Padres. The moment was a seminal piece of baseball history and is certainly worthy of being rerun.
Please join us in this cause and sign the petition below so we can all share in this special and fantastic moment of baseball history. THANKS!
SIGN THE PETITION HERE! AND PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND PASS THIS ALONG!
