Milestone Victory Of Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods talks about his milestone victory in the BMW Championship at Cog hill. Traditionally, a golf hole is either a par-three, -four or -five; some par-six holes exist, but are not usually found on traditional golf courses. Primarily, but not exclusively, the par of a hole is determined by the tee-to-green distance. If the tee-to-green distance on a hole is predominantly downhill, it will play shorter than its physical length and may be given a lower par rating.

Woods

Tiger Woods captured his 60th career PGA TOUR victory at the BMW Championship and has the lead in the FedEx Cup points going into The TOUR Championship presented by Coca Cola. Tiger Woods again established that no one knows golf in the Windy City better than he does -- with his dominating performance at the BMW Championship. Tiger Woods took New York City by storm recently and Jason Sobel was there to chronicle his journey every step of the way. Phil Mickelson had never won when paired with Tiger Woods in the final round of a tournament. Tiger Woods sat down on the Hot Seat to discuss his greatest fear, hanging with MJ and the worst thing about being Tiger Woods.

Open and the first to win a major since Roberto De Vicenzo won the British Open in 1967. Heading into the final FedEx Cup tournament, the open candor of Mark Calcavecchia, ranked 18th, is a breath of fresh air. The former Open champion John Daly had a vivid and emphatic response yesterday to Tiger Woods' sermon on the benefits of physical fitness in golf. Womens golf does not have a globally agreed set of majors.

Player

Each player acts as marker for one other player in the group, that is, he or she records the score on a score card. The party with the lower score wins that hole, or if the scores of both players and teams are equal the hole is "halved" (drawn). In the case that one team or player has taken a lead that cannot be overcome in the number of holes remaining to be played, the match is deemed to be won by the party in the lead, and the remainders of the holes are not played. The number of major championships a player accumulates in his career has a very large impact on his stature in the sport. These are the four that Bobby Jones won in 1930 to become the only player ever to have earned a grand slam. A major result of modern equipment is that today's players can hit the ball much further than previously.

When the game is tied after the predetermined number of holes have been played, it may be continued until one side takes a one-hole lead, and thereupon immediately wins by one hole. The party with the lower score wins that hole, or if the scores of both players and teams are equal the hole is "halved" (drawn). The game is won by the party that wins more holes than the other.

24 Hours in Fukuoka City - Travel Journal

I visited a good friend, Keiko, in Fukuoka recently. It was my first long vacation since I started working.

Tenjin Station Upon arriving at Fukuoka City, we placed my luggage in a locker at Tenjin train station, and headed to a traditional garden called Yusentei. There, we had the view of the Japanese garden to ourselves while enjoying matcha (green tea). The path in the garden led you right up to the edge of the water, and was ornamented with a small waterfall. The name of the vila is indeed apt: friendship-fountain-restplace.

Yusentei Japanese Villa

After Yusentei, we walked to the city's popular public park with a big lake. There was another park that Keiko wanted to show me, but we could not find the place. So we decided to have lunch and stumbled into a street with a character that reminded me of my place in Barcelona's Sierra district: safe, upper class and good food.

Lunch at El Bacharro

As if in reminiscence of my memory, we settled for a restaurant that serves food from Valencia called El Bacharro. I had vegetable with cheese and anchovies 'fondue', a popular dish of the house. The place was small but everything was carefully placed. We were particularly intrigued by the carefully camouflaged toilet entrance, which was no more than a flat wooden plank that ran across the concrete wall.

Western food in Japan

According to Keiko, western cuisine is expensive in Japan, as Japanese food would be in most other cities. So during my stay, I was "treated" to western delicacies a la Japanese style a few times, e.g. the cheesecake that Keiko's parents bought from their weekend trip to an onsen (hot spring), and citrus muffins at a flower garden.

Court house

After lunch, we visited the courthouse, where Keiko frequented when she was still an working as a legal assistant. She tried hard to find a hearing that I would attend, but there was none that was not already in session or has ended. Still, it was interesting to see how open the courthouse is to the public. Anyone could walk in and sit into a hearing and the place resembled more of a hospital than a courthouse.

Cultural District

From the courthouse, we headed to a cultural district lined with museums, shops and temples. It was interesting to see the traditional sweets that Keiko gave me as a gift when she visited my home last summer.

We played with the traditional toys. There was one called Pabo, or something that mimicked the sound it made. It was a magical wooden book that clapped continuously once you set it in motion. The toy still rings vividly as I think about it now. Perhaps I should have bought one like Keiko said. But then we agreed that she would buy it for my first-born.

The porcelain artiste was in the musuem today. He was affable and chatty. We asked him to recommend a place to visit. He checked the time and replied that there was a Buddhist temple nearby that was still open for another hour. There, we could go through a test to see if we would go to heaven.

Buddhist Temple

The test was a journey into a dark passage way behind the alter of a big Buddha carved out of cypress. If you groped along the walls and touched a metal ring, then you are going to heaven. Silly as it may sound, I felt a real sense of cleansing after the test. For in the pitch blackness, ironically, it was as if someone shone a bright light into my soul. There was no way I could hide from my deepest conscience. (Of course, if you are wondering, Keiko and I are going to heaven.)

Canal City

We headed next to the glittering material world of Canal City, a popular mall with canals not unlike the Venice wannabes in las vegas. Watching the sunset unfold on the panoramic window of the cafe, "Sweet Museum", we knew it was time to go home.

Find PlayStation 3 Online

Now that the holiday shopping season 2006 is underway, one common question facing consumers is where to find the new Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3). Predicted to be one of this seasons hottest items, the PS3 is expected to be difficult to find both online and in traditional brick-n-mortar stores throughout the Christmas shopping season.

When the ps3 officially hits stores on November 17th, there will most likely be a frenzy of consumers trying to locate units online and offline. One way to stay a step ahead of the competition in getting your hands on a ps3 unit is to sign up for one of the ps3 alert services available.

Earlier this year Sony offered a preorder on the ps3 and retailers which participated in the event had people lined up overnight just to have the opportunity to purchase the ps3 when it hit stores in November. The preorders, which allowed individuals to buy the ps3 at suggested retail price, are now selling for two or three times that amount on ebay and other popular auction websites.

The ps3 is Sonys answer to Microsofts xbox 360, which was one of last years most highly anticipated holiday gifts. One difference with the ps3 to last years xbox 360 is the price tag. The ps3 has a significantly higher price tag at between $499 and $599 depending on what you want in the system. The price is higher because the technology is next generation. The ps3 games will be on Blu-Ray disc format, and the ps3 will be able to play Blu-Ray disc movies as well.

The ps3 faces stiff competition this year for consumers gaming expenditures. nintendo will launch its own next generation gaming system, called the Wii, on November 19th. Although the ps3 is expected to be more popular due to its large existing customer base, the Wii will be considerably cheaper to cost-conscious consumers.

No matter whether you are in the market for the Sony PlayStation 3, the nintendo Wii or some other popular holiday gift item, be prepared to spend a good time looking for the item. Several of the predicted hot selling holiday gifts are going to be scarce.
