Golfer wins space trip after bagging hole-in-one

After a hole-in-one at the KLM Open in Amsterdam, golfer Andy Sullivan has won a prize that is truly out of this world.
The Englishman, who found the cup with his tee shot on the 15th hole, bagged himself a flight into space courtesy of a Dutch aerospace company.

XCOR Aerospace pledged a 62-minute space flight to any player who could card a hole-in-one at the 15th at the Kennemer Golf and Country Club.

The trip is valued at between $95,000 and £115,000.

"My caddie just shouted to me, 'we're going to space'. I was in hysterics. It's just an unreal experience. I didn't play great through the round and then I hit a shot like that," Sullivan told the European Tour's official website.

Before boldly going where no professional golfer has gone before, Sullivan needs to run the idea by his wife.

Greg Norman almost cut his hand off with a chainsaw

Greg Norman is nothing if not a man's man so it's not surprising to hear that he was operating a chainsaw at his home in Florida this weekend.

"Norman, the Hall of Fame golfer and entrepreneur, was cutting back trees in his South Florida home when the weight of a branch pulled his left hand toward the chain saw. He said the blade hit him just below where a person would be wearing a wrist watch. He said doctors told him it missed his artery by a fraction of an inch."
Doesn't sound ideal! Norman said he knows he got lucky.

Trump gets scuba diver to fetch 3-iron McIlroy threw in water

When Rory McIlroy arrived at the tee for Friday’s second round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship, he likely didn't think he would cause such a ruckus by throwing a club into the water.

Not only did most of the golf world find it humorous, but even Donald Trump, the primary architect of the changes to the Blue Monster, found it amazing, and had a diver on Saturday afternoon retrieve the 3-iron that was heaved into the lake on the eighth hole.

World No. 1 Jason Day had a horrible week off the tee at Bethpage Black, but he somehow managed to scramble his way to a fourth place finish in the first round of the FedEx Cup playoffs with terrific shots like this 71-foot birdie putt Sunday.



One hell of a putt.....

Played TPC Sawgrass about 35 years ago. Coming off a birdie on 16, we went back to the Pro tees (never know if you'll get there again), and figured I was juiced, so took a nine iron, and plunked it about 4 feet short into the drink. Reteed (from the tee), with an 8 and greened it. Lipped out the put for a double bogey. And so contributed to the hundreds of balls in the lake. Looked at 18, and hit the ball more right than the tree, and had another double bogey to finish for a 43. First nine was over 50, but still an awesome experience.
