A Texas Practice Range Gives New Meaning To Hitting The Bulls Eye.
On route to Austin for a first visit ahead of covering this week’s Shell Houston Open we passed by a practice range that on closer inspection gave new meaning to hitting the bull.
Here on the outskirts of Dripping Springs and located some 21 miles south-east of Austin the first practice range where the targets were not just the markers.
At 107-yards there is metal outline of a Texas steer, 171-yards to the bus on the right and six yards further to the left school bus.

Harrington ‘Like Kid In A Candy Store’ Going Back To Augusta National.
Triple Major winning Padraig Harrington is like a kid in a candy story ahead of returning to Augusta National and the Masters.
What a difference a year makes in the make-up of the affable Irishman who this time last year had slumped 164th in the world and with the Dubliner needing to capture the Shell Houston Open to keep alive a 14-year unbroken Masters run.
That dream ended with a second round 79 on the Golf Club of Houston course to miss the cut for a first time in eight appearances in America’s ...
Halted At A Texas Red Light By A Truckload Of Australia’s Finest.
Here we were on the Monday after Jimmy Walker captured the Valero Texas Open and happily driving down Texas route 290 on route from Austin to Houston when I was brought to a screeching halt at a red light by a truck load of Australia’s finest.

All I know is that I could have got out of the car and got down on my knees bowing to ...

Walker Wins The Valero Texas Open But Bernie Left Holding The Trophy.
It has to be the heaviest trophy I have ever picked up – the Valero Texas Open trophy.
The trophy followed new champion Jimmy Walker into the media center but somehow I ended up getting a photograph with it.
And thankfully I was not asked to hold it up over my head and it weighs a ton!
Warren Misses Maiden Masters By .0094 World Ranking Points.
Marc Warren was taking his young family north of San Antonio for a flight from Austin and back to the U.K. unaware he had missed out on contesting a maiden Masters by just .0094 World Ranking points.
That’s all the points that separated Warren from England’s Luke Donald who could consider himself fortunate to be competing in the year’s first Major and his 11th straight Masters.
Donald, who sat out today’s concluding Valero Texas Open, dropped two places from No. 48 in the ...
