Is Kim the Real Deal?
The blogosphere is abuzz with excitement and speculation over rising star Anthony Kim’s win at AT&T National. Why all the fuss? Kim became the first American under 25 to win twice in a year on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods. Will Kim’s rising star fizzle out, or will he prove to be a bona fide rival to Tiger? What do you think?

Go to wsgonline.com to see a demo and tutorial, which will also give you a sneak peek at the new Kiawah Island Ocean Course that we are putting the finishing touches on.

Unexpected Start to U.S. Women’s Open
The U.S. Women’s Open at Interlachen Country Club is underway, and some of the biggest names—Sorenstam, Ochoa, and Wie—are nowhere near the top ten going into Round 2. How will it play out over the weekend, and who will you be cheering on?

World Series of Golf on CBS June 28 & 29
WGT is a proud sponsor of the 2008 World Series of Golf in Las Vegas, and a couple of us got to go and experience the fun. In case you are unfamiliar with the event, it’s an amateur-only tournament that has been described as “the texas hold ‘em of golf”. Players ante on each tee, and the player who wins all the money from the other players in his group advances to the next round.
The show will air on CBS June 28 & 29 from 2-3pm EST. Click here to check your local listings.
Here are some photos we took while we were there:

Did Tiger Make the Right Decision?
In a new video on ESPN, Tiger admits he is a “stubborn ass”. Do you think he made the right decision to go ahead and play in the U.S. Open?

Motor Caddies
Golfers love new gadgets, and I’ve always been fascinated by the remote-controlled, robotic variety. Part of the fascination is that I don’t actually know anyone who owns one, so I have no first-hand experience of them. Golf bloggers and reviewers reliably fawn over them, though I doubt they own one themselves. But they must be selling well, because they are becoming ever more loaded with features, and even Segway has joined the fray and come out with their own version. Do you own one, and if so, does it live up to the hype?

Happy Father’s Day!
Today is Father’s Day, a holiday often associated with personalized ties, sentimental mugs, and large quantities of meat and beer. Personally, I don’t mind these clichés. Father’s Day is about getting together with family and celebrating fatherhood, and if kitsch and food bring families together, great. As for me, my dad is abroad so I won’t be able to celebrate with him, but the rest of the clan is getting together for a BBQ and some heavy drinking.
How are you celebrating Father’s Day?

Will We See You at Torrey Pines?
The U.S. Open is underway in San Diego, and a couple of WGT staffers will be there tomorrow through Sunday to take in the action. We will be decked out in WGT shirts and hats, and we’ll send a nice gift to anyone we meet wearing WGT apparel. Hint: you will likely find us hanging around the 18th green. Hope to see you there!
