Once again, the sports world has been reeling the past couple of weeks regarding a professional athlete and his off the course problems. This just happened to be all about the #1 athlete in the world, Tiger Woods.
We all tend to put professional athletes on a pedestal as our heroes. They play the game, break records and their life is great in our...

We just came back from the Solheim Cup in Chicago and what a tournament that was! U.S.A. beat Europe 16-12 in match play competition. We have never lost on home soil and this tournament proved that we were strong as a team.

Carolyn Bivens is the commissioner of the LPGA and is currently in the hot
seat. The LPGA is losing tournaments and sponsors and everyone is losing
confidence in their leader. But is Carolyn Bivens the problem or the
solution?
Fifteen members of the LPGA met recently and sent a letter to the LPGA board
of directors to request Carolyn Bivens to step down. Who do they think will lead
the LPGA now while the country is still in a...
