An overview of Presidents Cup in Gazette

Hi everyone In follow up to my last rant about a lack of press about the Presidents Cup, I found that the Montral Gazette did put together a nice package of information on the tournament (history, line ups, etc) – they dedicated quite a few pages.

Presidents Cup finally makes Canadian News

Hi y’all I don’t know about you, but as a Canadian, “eh”, I am pretty disappointed in the lack of attention paid by Canadian newspapers on the Presidents Cup.

Solheim Cup tarnished by bad sportswomanship

Well well well…isn’t this story interesting – and sad! I guess I have take back what I said yesterday that there would be a lot less bitching at the Solheim Cup than the Tour Championship. I was wrong – but I wish I wasn’t. Can you imagine publicly saying these things about another golfer? I thought we were all gentlepeople …
