For all your golf fans out there..... 19 holes!


Legends Golf & Safari Resort in South Africa created the golfer's dream course including the course's "Xtreme 19th" hole. It is a par 3 whose tee is atop a cliff on Hanglip Mountain, the cliff is more than 1,400 feet above a green carved like the continent of Africa. The only way to get to the top is to take a helicopter and gain access to the tee. The prize for getting a hole in one on this final hole a whopping one million dollars!!!!!!!!

Can you guess the sport?

lets go boston!



This weekend I was able to catch one of the Boston College vs. Wake Forest games in a series of three, all weekend in the rain and cold Boston College and Wake Forest competed back and forth for a win, but in the end Boston came out with three wins (11-9, 5-3, 12-7). While I watched the game I realized that a few of the players on the field will most likely be drafted to the professionals by their Junior year of college!

Fighting



Its been questionable if to consider mma fighting as a sport and an actually fair game. Although boxing is a fighting sport, you can only use your fists, would you consider mma a martial art and fair sport just like boxing?

An Unlikely Top 10

When I think of Espn, I think of all the major professional sports on that I see on t.v. everyday. When I came across professional gaming and Halo on Espn's top 10 I was amazed and I had to do more research on how big Major League Gaming really was.



Season Opener

The 2010 season opener featured the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. For a season opener this game could not have been any better. The Yankees took an early lead in the 2nd inning and the red sox would not catch up until the sixth when it was tied 5-5. It wasn't until the seventh inning that the Red Sox would come back and take their first lead of the game. Pedroia's two run home run put the Sox in the lead and ultimately won the game for them.





The next game Yankees vs. Red Sox will be tomorrow April 6th.
