Home :About Us
Who We AreIt is fairly common for sites to have an About Us section. Saying who you are and what you do is basic politeness in any conversation. Trust and credibility are major issues on the Web. Explaining who you are and where you come from does matter and we make the following promises to our audience: We'll provide you with accurate, engaging content. Like a friendly neighbor, we'll give you information that you can trust. We won't make you dig through a haystack to find the needle. We'll make it easy to learn the basics of the topic we cover and we won't confuse you with unnecessary jargon. Our content is succinct, digestible, and entertaining. So many About Us pages are a waste of HTML. Though not everyone wants to know more about you, there are those who do. This page will tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and some things you don't) about us! Pay attention, we'll be giving a quiz! Starting in 1996 I gleaned the web, newspaper articles, magazines, pictures, etc. which I wanted to keep and along with some original content add the things I'm interested in and I hope you are too. I come from Missouri originally and operate this site from Oklahoma. I have a construction background, but since the stroke I do this Web Site. The Contact Us, The Small Print, and a Link Exchange are located on the contact page. Pasture pool is a derogatory term for the noble sport of golf, but anyone unable to see the humor is possibly also under-appreciating some of the best things about golf. Being outdoors, walking on smooth green grass (Golf is a good walk spoiled. - Mark Twain), and concentrating on perfecting a physical skill. It was Arnold Palmer who came up with the idea of the modern Grand Slam, back in 1960 when he was flying to Britain to play in his first Open Championship at St. Andrews, the one where he met Tip Anderson. During the transatlantic flight, he fell to talking with his journalist-friend Bob Drum about Bobby Jones's 1930 Grand Slam and suggested that the idea might be revived with the modern major tournaments: winning all four in one season. Drum and other journalists started to use the term in their articles, and so the notion took root. Palmer did not achieve the Grand Slam, of course. To his regret, he never won the PGA Championship. Nicklaus won all four titles at least three times over, but not in succession. All are recognized as a part of the world's two most prestigious tours, the PGA TOUR in the United States and the PGA European Tour. In order of their playing date, the events that make up golf's modern Grand Slam are: April - The Masters; June - US Open; July - The Open Championship (known in North America as the British Open) and August - PGA Championship. No player has yet met the modern definition of golf's Grand Slam. The term "Grand Slam" was first applied to Bobby Jones' achievement of winning the four major golfing events of 1930: the U.S. and British Opens, and the U.S. and British Amateurs. The modern definition could not be applied until at least 1934, when The Masters was founded, and still carried little weight in 1953 when Ben Hogan, after winning The Masters, and US and British Opens, did not compete in the PGA Championship because of the timing of that event in relation to the British Open. Only five golfers have won all of golf's modern major events: Gene Sarazen, Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Woods. Americans love sports. As recreation, entertainment, and work for millions, sports provide significant shared experiences for this diverse nation. The players, spectators, and providers of sports - men and women from varied racial and ethnic backgrounds and economic circumstances - have all contributed to the American sporting experience. Many non-westerners confuse rodeo with the Wild West show, assuming that the events are rehearsed and the performers are actors, with the winners determined in advance like a professional wrestling show. Far from it. The contestants put up stiff entry fees and are competing hard for the prize money. Rodeo performers are as tough and well-conditioned a pack of athletes as exist in the world of sports and few can match their ferociously competitive spirit.
