Maybe The Players Really Is A Major!
/Granted, the evidence is thin, but how many tournaments would provoke this kind of passion...
Who knew laptops were so fragile?
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
Today's Twitter Wars And Other Assorted Embarrassing Tweets
/Seems we have a nice little Twitter spat developing between SI's Alan Shipnuck and Ryder Cup Captain Corey Pavin:
Or is it Mrs. Pavin putting the kibosh on Shipnuck?
And Stephanie Wei highlights an adorable Natalie Gulbis mistake. Make that, two mistakes.

Shipnuck responds to Pavin. Start at the bottom:
"Go thing I have already looked my card up for next year! Your Welcome."
/"Your Welcome" would be the gramatically challenged catch-phrase Bubba Watson is sporting under his Twitter persona.
FYI, his self-proclaimed bio on Twitter:
"Christian, Husband, Pro Golfer who enjoys giving back to help others grow in life! You're welcome.

Now I know they haven't hired the VP of PGA Tour Tweet Monitoring yet, but I'm getting a vibe that stuff like this will force their hand. Ian Poulter Tweeted a photo the other day and then apologized after apparently getting a lot of complaints, which is why the image and a couple of other Tweets sounding a wee bit iffy subsequently came down!

Pro Golfer Tweet O' The Week, Vol. 1
/The flood of fascinating, deep and almost-malaprops from pro golf's finest Tweeters has forced my hand: introducting, the Tweet O' The Week.
Ian Poulter, who displays a Brunoesque love for fashion and his own hair, also has captured Bruno's Tweeting vocabulary:
