Case in point, where the heck did Kelley got the idea of Dominik Hasek faking his injury. This is the playoff and the last thing Hasek will do is fake the injury. I can see him do it if it's only a regular season, but playoffs. I am not really a Sabres fan, but it just disturbed me that someone like him will get someone in trouble for the sake of being popular. I'll say the lawyers, agents, and the reporters are all in the same boat, SCUM of the EARTH!!! That's my two cents.......

That's not a knock on Woods at all, he seems like a great guy. Go watch When We Were Kings, if you haven't already, and you'll see what I mean. If that comparison is the closest, then there shouldn't be one. -*- TurboEDIT v1.60a+ [MSP96] --- Ezycom V1.48g0 01fa0167 * Origin: Milky Way, Langley, BC [604] 532-4367 (1:153/307) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 114 SPORTS Ref: E4X00001 Date: 04/27/97 From: TERRI MONFORTON Time: 07:52pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: WINGS YAAAAA RED WINGS!

Let's pay homage to his accomplishment -- He won by more strokes than anyone ever has, he scored lower than anyone ever has... what does it matter what color or race he is? BTW, I think he pointed out, he's actually 1/4 more of Asian decent than African-American. MY>> He's a tremendous golfer. He's better than Nicklaus was, MY>> compared to their contemporaries.

I think the market will expand. How that may play out is anyone's guess. Here's mine: Joe Hacker can afford to play at most places but plays at City Park because tee times are not hard to come by. That will be the first noticeable change. Tee times will be much harder to come by. Joe will move on to some private club and bring his golf budget with him. Now, the people who were at the private club all along can't get tee times whenever they want so they move on to somewhere else and so on. The pro shops will have to adjust accordingly to their new customer's budgets. The ultimate result will be more golf courses, more players, more pro shops, and more competition for a bigger pot. I'm not necessarily suggesting that it will be cheaper although that's not out of the question.
