This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I would love to see some golf events go off the beaten track by OITLinebacker

For example I think it would be fun to have a bunch of pros play some sort of state or regional roulette wheel of a tournament. Have something like 4 different area courses and randomize the draw so you don't know who the partners are or which course you are on until the morning of. That said everyone would play every hole, just the first few days you wouldn't know which course and who with. By the last day you would know the course but wouldn't necessarily be playing on the same course as the guy who you are trying to catch or hold off.

I think that would be a lot of fun to watch. As a bonus you could send them out to some of the courses I played on in high school: 9 Hole Sand greens with a fun "breeze" of 35+ MPH with some 50+ gusts thrown in for good measure.
