Twenty-year old Nick Dunlap, a college golfer at the University of Alabama, began this day with a three-stroke lead in the PGA Tour’s American Express in Palm Desert, California, the Tour’s second tournament of the year. Playing in the last pairing with stars Justin Thomas and Sam Burns, Nick Dunlap hung on like a cool veteran under intense pressure to win by one stroke to make golfing history. South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout came from behind to finish alone at second... Read more
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that are fighting the war in Gaza says Hamas’s tunnel system there is immense, between 350 and 450 miles of tunnels. Yet the Gaza Strip itself, which is located along the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, is only 25 miles long and 4 to 6 miles wide. Hamas’s military strength has been centered in its tunnel system in Gaza. The IDF therefore has announced that its goal is to destroy this entire tunnel system to prevent Hamas... Read more
PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray, from Raleigh, North Carolina, the guy they call “golf bad boy,” just won the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii, in a most dramatic fashion. He had gotten himself into a tie for the lead entering today’s last round by shooting a 63 on Friday and a 64 on Sunday. He lost the lead and birdied the last hole to get into a three-man playoff. On the first extra hole, a par... Read more
Former FBI Director James Comey had an excellent article in The Washington Post last Wednesday entitled “Donald Trump isn’t coming for us. The rule of law is coming for him.” It’s about the fear some Americans have that prosecuting Trump for crimes will result in so much violence from his MAGA crowd that the U.S. should refrain from trying to legally make the former president accountable for any misdeeds he may have committed. For, he has two federal and two... Read more
Until recently, the Israel-Hamas War in the Gaza Strip–which Israel enacted after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, resulting in 1,200 Jewish dearth–looked like Israel had no plan for Gaza and its Palestinian residents, a population of about 2,3 million people, after the war ends. So far, Israel reportedly has killed 23,000 Gazans and bombed the place so badly that 70% of the homes are now destroyed or unlivable. The Israeli military started its destruction in northern Gaza and has... Read more
When Gaza-ruling Hamas brutally attacked Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people in about one day, Israel launched a devastating military assault of the Gaza Strip that included artillery and dropping over 200 bombs weighing 2,000 pounds each. Reports are that 22,000 Palestinian have been killed. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the war will continue for “months.” But neither he nor his administration has been saying what Israel’s plan is for Gaza after the war. Then both foreign ministers... Read more
Scottie Scheffler just won the Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year for the 2022-2023 PGA Tour season. And it was for the second consecutive season. The last time anyone won it for two consecutive seasons was Tiger Woods in 2005-2007. This honor is bestowed by the PGA Tour. The selection is based only on votes by PGA Tour members who played at least 15 regular PGA Tour tournaments during the 2022-2023 season. There is a bit of controversy about Scheffler... Read more
Yesterday, I was zoom interviewed for about 20 minutes by golf reporter Chris Mascaro on his podcast, “Next on the Tee.” I’ve never met Chris, but he is really an excellent interviewer. He had prepared well by researching highlights of my golf career, both college and the PGA Tour. Today, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review published an article about the interview, unexpectedly I’m sure. The title of the article is, “Next on the Tee: Kermit Zarley recalls U.S. Open battle with Jack... Read more
For the past few decades, some scientists have claimed there is a massive reservoir of water hundreds of miles below Earth’s surface that has more water in it than that which is in all of Earth’s oceans combined, and perhaps much more. If true, could this water have been the primary source of Noah’s flood recorded in the Bible? Now, a team of geophysicists believe they have discovered a mammoth reservoir of water about four hundred miles under Earth’s surface.... Read more
