Over the past few weeks, there have been some stories related to golf, which have not been posted on thegolfblog.com…
First, last week two women scored a hole in one on the same hole in the same group. According to SI.com, Golf Digest stated that the odds of a hole-in-one by two people in the same group is nearly 17million to 1. Granted, I’ve been lucky enough to have my own, but I could not imagine having two holes-in-one in the same group.
Second, Payne Stewart’s family lost their case against Learjet for being responsible for the airplane crash that killed Payne in 1999. According to the AP, the Stewart’s had been seeking $200 million in damages, even though their intentions were to provide for more aircraft safety instead of the money.
Third, Ryan Moore, the 2004 US Amateur and US Public Links Champion, has decided to turn pro after the US Open at Pinehurst No. 2. According to thegolfchannel.com, Moore will enter the Barclays Classic after the US Open to begin his professional career.
