Bernie’s A Lucky Birthday Boy Sausage.
There is lucky sausages and there is lucky sausages but I was surprised to find a meat shop in nearby Port Washington bearing my name – Bernie’s Meats.
Check out the pics and thanks to everyone ‘back home’, including young Nikki and Jamie in chilly Bathurst, for the warm birthday wishes.
I may just decide to throw a sausage on the ole barbie over here in what has been heatwave conditions in upstate Wisconsin.
The Bog Golf Course In Saukville, Wisconsin Revisted Five Years On.
This week’s PGA Championship is not only the fifth anniversary of my first visit to Whislting Straits but it also marks five years I first visited – The Bog Golf Club.
Dear friend and colleague Karl McGinty and myself inspected The Bog during the 2010 PGA Championship.

However five years on, and ...

Bachhus Lotus Rock 97th PGA Championship Patrons.
It had been another long day reporting on the 97th PGA Championship and day abruptly halted by a voilent electrical storm that lashed the Whistling Straits area.
However in alighting from the media shuttle bus to the car par we began hearing sounds eminating from a barn-like structure on the edge of the car park.
A little investigating and it turned out the band is called – BACHHUS LOTUS.
And the lead singer informed me they are based just down the road in Sheboygan in upstate Wisconsin which ...
Tiger Woods Now Plays Tournament Guessing Game.
No sooner had Rory McIlroy ended a PGA Championship guessing game and now Tiger Woods has everyone wondering will he play or won’t he contest next week’s Wyndham Championship in North Carolina.
Woods has entered the event at Greensboro but then that doesn’t mean he will compete.
And given Woods has never contested the event in his near 20-year pro career he could very well decide to pull the play on his season.
Tiger Woods now plays a guessing game after missing the cut in the PGA Championship. ...
Darren Clarke Jokes Will Celebrate 47th Birthday ‘Getting Hammered’.
It was Darren Clarke’s 47th birthday but after easily missing the PGA Championship halfway cut he joked he was going to go out and ‘get hammered’.

Clarke added an 81 to his opening 78 to trail well down near the cellar in the season’s final major in a second round that included ...
