David CannonWhiskey and golf. The two go together like, well, whiskey and golf, especially in Ireland and especially on the eve St. Paddy’s Day. So in honor of the holiday that drinks all others under the table, we decided to pair a few of our favorite Irish whiskies with a few of our favorite Irish golf courses, creating the ultimate Emerald Isle travel guide in the process. So kick off your spikes and belly up to the bar. The less said about the scorecard, the better, so let's just let the whiskey do the talking.

First off, I'm going to vouch for Susan Sarandon here. Not talking about her politics or even her acting career, which by the way, have you ever seen Stepmom? Wow, what a tearjerker.
But anyway, I'm here to say that the Academy Award-winning actress, like myself, is actually a very big New York Rangers fan. Just Google image search “Susan Sarandon Rangers” and there's a million pictures of her at Madison Square Garden, probably in some fire throwback jersey. I've even been at games where she gets thrown on the big screen as the “Celeb in the Crowd” in exchange for free seats. What a life. Does this make her qualified to talk about hockey on camera? Debatable.
For some odd reason, hockey fans found out if Sarandon was ready for the big time on Wednesday night, when NBCSN had her as a guest inside the glass alongside Pierre McGuire at the Rangers home game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Normally, the NHL's “Wednesday Night Rivalry” goes largely unnoticed, but i..

A few months ago we brought you the story of the misguided (though not entirely ineffective) youth hockey coach whose F-bomb-riddled pregame speech led to his dismissal.
Now as a wholesome counter we give you this clip of a young Woonsocket (R.I.) North Stars player that might be the best locker room address this side of Herb Brooks.

A few things here:
—Notice the little tyke to the player's right, most likely a kid brother, who briefly weighs whether it's appropriate to eat his lollipop during such a charged emotional moment. To his credit, he tries to hold out for a bit.
FacebookPinterestThen he recognizes this might go on a while and he's like, Hey, I'm only human—and this is cherry!
FacebookPinterest—What coach doesn't want this kid on their team (the hockey player, not the lollipop kid)? All heart, unafraid to show his vulnerable side. For all we know he can't lift the puck off the ice and he still can't skate backwards, ..

Got to feel for those gritty, upstart Harvard boys. Despite earning the No. 1 seed in the Ivy League, the Crimson had to play their conference championship game in front of Pennsylvania's hometown crowd (an environment that helped translate to their close loss to the Quakers). But this rag-tag band had bigger issues than opposing fans in their NIT matchup against Marquette.
Down as many as 14 points in the second half, Harvard closed the deficit to a two-possession game with 30 seconds left. Following a loose ball, a Crimson player found himself wide open in the corner for three. Unfortunately, as the ball came his way, so did a referee:

Got to love the ref not only brushing off his mistake, but then having the audacity to add some jazz to his “Ball, Marquette!” signal. Somewhere, TV Teddy Valentine is smiling.
Still, got to feel for this cats. It's bad enough to lose in this fashion. Even worse when it happens in t..

PHOENIX (AP) Michelle Wie is trying to have fun – and stay healthy.

”My goal is to play the whole year and not to take an extended break during the season,” Wie said at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup. ”That would be my whole goal. Keep my organs in my body.”

Organs?

Yep, last August – a week after helping the U.S. win the Solheim Cup – she had her appendix removed after being stricken before the final round of the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open.

She has recently fought arthritis in her hands, first with cortisone and now with collagen injections. She also is off to a fast start this season, winning the HSBC Women’s World Championship two weeks ago in Singapore for her fifth career victory and first since the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open.

”I’ve working really hard on my putting,” Wie said. ”During the offseason, I putt and chip for at least five hours a day. I just put in the time. It feels good that it’s paying off. … I think being confident with your putter, ..

PHOENIX (AP) The LPGA Tour will open next season with the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

The tour and Diamond Resorts announced the new tournament Wednesday at the Founders Cup. It will be played Jan. 17-20 at Tranquilo Golf Club at Four Seasons Resort Orlando.

The tournament replaces the Diamond Resorts Invitational, a PGA Tour Champions offseason event that Lexi Thompson, Brittany Lincicome and other LPGA Tour stars played the last three years.

vgajicFor the lucky few, Thursday and Friday of March Madness week are two of the greatest days on your calendar. Maybe you use that PTO you’ve been hanging on to, maybe you come down with the sniffles and your boss buys it, or maybe you get a vasectomy (OK, this one doesn’t sound so great). Whichever of these situations you fall under, you’re going to kick back and watch hours upon hours of uninterrupted college hoops over those golden 48 hours. Go ahead, crack that first beer at 11:45 a.m. for the pre-game show, you’ve earned it.
Then there’s the other group of people. The group that begrudgingly goes into work despite a full slate of games on the schedule. Sure, you can follow on your phone, or stream the games on your computer. Perhaps the boss even allows a little extended lunch in the conference room for projector-screen viewing. But that can only last so long, and it's just not the same. You can’t be diving into the copy room like Bryce Drew after watching a 13-seed taking ..
