Spring Semster: Masters Week

School is as busy as ever, but the end is in sight. I am preparing for a team negotiation in Copyright Licensing. My team is representing a website developer who has been contracted by a small toy company. The essence of the project is to negotiate and come to an agreement on the controlling contract. [...]

Tiger Returns

Tiger Woods returns to the PGA Tour today and tees off at 2:02p. I have been looking forward to his return for months. The PGA Tour is just not the same without him – either because he draws interest or people just want to be interested in him. From what I’ve seen and heard on [...]

Lions and Tiger(s) and Wolverines, Oh My!

Forgive the title, I couldn’t resist. The Lions won. The Tigers won. U of M won (finally). Tiger Woods won (easily), which meant the most exciting thing about the final tournament of the FedEx cup was finding out about the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo. Go ahead, look and see. The Sylvania 300 was [...]

THE PLAYERS Champion: Sergio Garcia

Sergio Garcia won THE PLAYERS Championship by paring the first playoff hole against Paul Goydos. Sergio won by playing accurate golf from tee to green and putting better than he has in three years. Confidence is a fickle attribute to acquire, retain, and, if lost, reacquire. This afternoon, Sergio took a major step towards recapturing [...]

Kim Wins the Wachovia

With Lorena Ochoa’s streak of four tournament wins being snapped by Paula Creamer this past weekend, we were left with Anthony Kim’s first ever PGA Tour win at the Wachovia Championship. He won in style, finishing Sunday five shots ahead of former British Open champion Ben Curtis. And all at the young age of 22 [...]

Byron Nelson Round 3 Recap

Adam Scott is playing well. His swing looks as Tiger-esque as ever and he seems to be steering the ball around the tight launch corridors of the newly renovated TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas course in Irving, Texas quite well. His three-shot will be enough for him to win today. The course is playing too [...]

The Streaks Lorena Ochoa has won four tournaments in a row on the LPGA Tour. Just this past weekend, she shot four rounds in the sixties for a nineteen under [...]
