In an effort to revitalize the Ladies European Tour and create new opportunities for women golfers in Europe, the LPGA and LET have joined forces.

There’s a rule on the PGA Tour that states if a regular member plays fewer than 25 tournaments in a season, he has to add an event to his schedule he hasn’t played the prior four seasons. Perhaps, this should be a requirement of golf writers as well.
Tasked with covering a fall event for the first time, I felt a bit like those tour pros trying to round out my schedule—save for the fact I wouldn’t be attending one with the chance of earning a fat check. I wound up choosing the RSM Classic, because, well, honestly, the other options were gobbled up by a colleague. But upon arriving at Sea Island Golf Club on St. Simons Island, Ga., it didn’t take long to realize I had lucked out in terms of a work assignment. I soon began taking (bad) photos with my phone to document my experience covering the final official PGA Tour event of the year (and decade!). Here’s what I saw.
At approximately 12 miles long and three miles across at its widest point, St. Simons Island is about the size of Manhatt..

Welcome to another edition of The Grind where we doubt this year’s Thanksgiving dinner will live up to the continuous feast we enjoyed down South this past week while covering the RSM Classic. My mouth is still watering (and my arteries are still clogging) just thinking about this spread:
FacebookPinterestEven the media center fried chicken was finger-licking good. But while my stay on St. Simons Island was fun—and filling—I wasn’t quite able to deliver more golf history like the last time I was in Georgia. Unless, you count a guy who hadn’t won a four-day golf tournament since the 2011 Indiana Amateur winning a PGA Tour event. Admittedly, I did not see that coming. But again, I may have been too distracted by all the southern food. Anyway, grab a plate and sit down while we serve up a big helping of everything happening in the golf world.

This going to sound really odd, but I promise you it's true: Some people really, REALLY hate Bill Walton. They hate his babbling. They hate his rambling. They hate that he's happier than they are and they hate that he almost exclusively doesn't stick to sports. These people are wrong. These people are idiots. How do we know this? Because Bill Walton was on the call for ESPN's coverage of the Maui Invitational on Monday night, and the Maui Wowie-fueled results were pure, uncut entertainment. From shouting about drinking children's blood…
