When you come to think of it that is the secret of most of the great holes all over the world. They all have some kind of a twist. C.B. MACDONALD
I'm thinking any kind of supplement called "The ____" is probably not going to be a good thing. But deer antler spray?
Eric Adelson and Adam Watson report that Mark Calcaveccia and other Champions Tour players have had to end their ties to a deer antler spray product containing IGF-1, a growth hormone on the banned list of the World Anti-Doping Association and all major sports organizations.
Mike Hlas was at Zach Johnson's first foundation fundraiser Monday and the former Masters Champ sprung a shocker on the gathered attendees.
Busy, busy, Sunday.
Caroline Masson will try to hold off Inbee Park and Meena Lee to win the Women's Open Championship at suddenly vulnerable Carnoustie.
Anthony Kim must fend off Scott Stallings, Gary Woodland and Webb Simpson to win at the Greenbrier.
Olin Browne tries to hold off Pavin, O'Meara and age shooter Hale Irwin.
Pepperdine's Jeff Gove made two eagles Saturday (video included!) and goes for his fourth career Nationwide Tour win.
And most important of all, Shackleford faces Belmont winner Ruler On Ice and the surging Coil in the $1 million Haskell at Monmouth Park.
Jim Achenbach isn't too wild about the low scoring at the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic U.S. Senior Open, but considering last week's weather, the rain and the extra time the old geezers have been spending in the gym, the vulnerability of Inverness was inevitable.
After 36 holes Zach Johnson bagman Damon Green remains 4-under in the U.S. Senior Open and on the edge of the top 10, setting up a possible weekend run after a similar hot start in the Senior Open Championship at Walton Heath. 
Dave Hackenburg previews the U.S. Senior Open at Inverness where a peculiar sounding rerouting has taken place to help with gallery flow.
If the pitchout rough in Canada isn't your think, Walton Heath is looking splendidly rustic in the bits of Senior Open Championship coverage I've seen. Unfortunately, no Peter Alliss appearances planned.This would be a non-story except that the LPGA has one of the most admired Hall of Fame entry standards and this will muddle that a bit.
Beginning in 2013, Evian will be designated as a major championship, the LPGA’s fifth, sources told Golfweek.
The LPGA’s number of major championships has been a moving target over the years. The tour’s current majors – Kraft Nabisco Championship, Wegmans LPGA Championship, U.S. Women’s Open and Ricoh Women’s British Open – have been a foursome only since 2001. Before the British Open achieved major status, the du Maurier Classic was the tour’s fourth major, from 1979 to 2000.
I was enjoying Lee Trevino's interview with David Feherty on the new Golf Channel show and interspersed between the awkward stand-up stuff with the paid seat fillers, he revealed that his year's Toshiba Classic was his final tournament appearance. Naturally, I'm kicking myself for not having gone to watch. I hope it's not the case...
Robert Karlson is peaking at the right time for the U.S. Open, leading in Memphis.
Yani Tseng (who else) is leading the LPGA event in Springfield.
And Bob Tway is trying to win on the Champions Tour for the first time.
Oh and the U.S. Open week fun starts Monday. I'll be reporting to you live from there with some first impressions of the course Monday afternoon and evening.
