In a non-traditional move, Tiger Woods tweeted Wednesday that he plans to be back on the green for the first two FedEx Cup Playoff events. The 43-year old, aging 15-time major winner normally shares his plans with a late Friday announcement. However, this time was different. The FedEx Cup Playoff events will begin at the Northern Trust in New Jersey next week.
After missing the British Open cut at Royal Portrush, Woods decided to skip the WGC-Fed Ex St. Jude Invitational in Memphis. It is alleged that he had wished to go and rest up at his home before going out for another postseason round. One can imagine what he was thinking, after missing the cut and failing to join much younger players in the field to compete.
To date this season, Woods has played competed in 10 official tournaments. Outside of his major victory at April’s Masters, he has only competed in one major. What is on schedule with this is Woods’ plan of action and play dates that he divulged last year, stating he would play in fewer tournaments in order to preserve his health.

At the 2018 FedEx Cup, Woods was ahead of his comeback victory at the Tour Championship in Atlanta and made a hard push in the Playoffs. He teed up in all three events and finished T-40 at the 2018 Northern Trust before a T-24 at the Dell Technologies Championship and a T-6 at the BMW Championship.
With the new schedule this season, there’s one fewer playoff event, so it’s on to Atlanta after the BMW Championship in two weeks at Medinah Country Club in Chicago.

Sixteen-year-old Anthony Ford has been playing golf since he was 4. But getting him the equipment and lessons he needed, not to mention challenging competition and courses to play, was not easy for his mother.
To afford his golfing dream, Beatrice Ford moved her family from a three-story house in the Cascade area of Atlanta to an apartment in East Lake, one of the roughest neighborhoods in the city. The move meant Anthony would be able to attend Drew Charter School and join its free golf program for youth: The First Tee of East Lake, now The First Tee of Metro Atlanta.
“He’s been hooked on golf for a long time, and that prompted our move here,” Ford said. “Otherwise, I could not afford it. So that’s the reason why we moved here, so he could perfect his game as much as possible.”
From where Ford lives now, she can look outside her window and see the East Lake Golf Club, where Anthony practices. Early on, Anthony was coached by Elijah Walker, one of Atlanta’s first black golf pros and the person who launched the first city-owned junior golf program in the nation to expose inner-city children to the game. Over nearly four decades, Walker coached more than 1,500 African American children.
Anthony Ford helped Drew Charter make history in May by being part of the first all-African American team to win a state golf title in Georgia. The team finished in fourth place last year in Class A, which is the smallest class in public schools in Georgia. Ford, the captain, said the team used that finish as motivation to get a head start at conditioning and practice.
“The season doesn’t start until February and we’ve been training since September, just weight conditioning and conditioning,” Ford said. “So we’ve been at it for a minute. I know a lot of teams don’t start until the season starts.” The state title led to the team being featured on Golf Channel and invited to the Steve Harvey Invitational Tournament and a meeting with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. The team also played in the High School Golf National Invitational in Orlando, Florida, in June, finishing 20th.
On July 3, Ford learned that he was among 78 participants in the PURE Insurance Championship. After three years of attempting to get an invitation, Ford will compete against other First Tee golfers for the Pro-Junior Team title. Players were selected by a national panel of judges based on their understanding and application of the values and life skills learned through First Tee’s programs, as well as their playing ability.
Recommendations from golf coaches are also needed. Ford was recommended by his golf coach at Drew Charter, Nyre Williams. At the two-day Class A State Championship in May, Ford shot the lowest scores on his team, with a 78 on the first day followed by a 71, the second day’s best round.
“My mom and dad were more excited than I was,” Ford said. “My coach kind of gave me a hint. He was like, ‘When you wake up, turn on the Morning Drive [on Golf Channel].’ I kind of already knew, but when we actually saw it, my mom and dad started screaming.”
Ford will play in the PURE Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Poppy Hills Golf Course in Monterey, California, on Sept. 24-29.
Ford knows from experience that the best way to make golf diverse is having more programs like The First Tee.
“If we could have more programs like The First Tee that gives us free golf and classes that teach not only golf but life lessons,” Ford said. “Sometimes we don’t even play golf. Sometimes they bring a financial literacy guider to come in and teach us about real estate and how to do our taxes. … They teach us far beyond golf.”

As compact SUVs become more fuel-efficient and affordable and some low-budget subcompact cars became extinct, some small cars are finding their niche. One subcompact that won’t be counted out is the 2019 Toyota Yaris, which is well suited for city dwellers due to its smaller size, fuel efficiency and price.
The 2019 Toyota Yaris Sedan is very well equipped, economical and just right for parking in urban areas. A product of a joint venture between Toyota and Mazda, the Yaris is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine.
The small peppy engine was built by Mazda and generates 106 horsepower and 103 lb.-ft. of torque. When paired with an available 6-speed automatic transmission, the Yaris is great for navigating through dense city traffic, and with fewer trips to the fuel pump. The Yaris gets an estimated 32 MPG city and 40 on the highway.
The 2019 Yaris is available in three trim levels: L, LE. And XLE. The base model starts around $15,600 and goes up to $18,700 for the XLE.
I tested the four-door XLE with a sport driving mode that stood on 16-inch alloy wheels. The interior was accented with leather and leatherette trim, a 7-inch touch display for the infotainment system. After adding the delivery and handling charge, the sticker price came to $19,479 MSRP. A hatchback model was added for the 2020 model year.

Despite all that, Trump’s course lost money for the first time last year — running $122,000 in the red, according to a new filing with the city.
The loss for the past operating year, from April 2018 to March 2019, is the latest bad financial news for Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point. It comes as other Trump golf courses — from his Doral resort in Florida to his expensive courses in Scotland and Ireland — have reported declining revenue, or outright losses, during Trump’s polarizing presidency.
In the Bronx, Trump’s stubbly, Scottish-style course is built on top of an old landfill, with views of the East River, two huge bridges and the coast of Queens. It opened in April 2015, two months before Trump entered the 2016 presidential race.
Since then, the course — located in the district of liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) — has struggled. The number of rounds played has declined every year. Overall revenue has fallen 14 percent, according to documents filed with the city.

The latest filing — an annual “income statement” in which Trump’s company summarized the club’s income and expenses at the city’s course — was released by the city parks department after a public records request.
Beyond the $122,000 in losses, the filing revealed something else: a previously hidden dispute at the course, which pits the president’s company against the government of America’s largest city.

(July 14, 2019) This explosive Broadway play is packing in the seats at the Shubert Theatre in New York City. It is a swift take on Jeff Daniels towering figure of Atticus Finch in Aaron Sorkin’s effective adaptation of Harper Lee’s novel ” To Kill A Mockingbird.” The story is told by the little six-year-old girl Jean Louise Finch nicknamed Scout. She is a rebellious girl who has tomboy tendencies. The storyline is based in Maycomb, a small town in Alabama in the 1930s where Scout lives with her elder brother Jem, and her father, Atticus, who is widowed.
With a running time of 2hours, 35 minutes, audiences will see against all odds how writer Aaron Sorkin has accomplished this stage-worthy version of Harper Lee’s classic American novel “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Directed by Bartlett Sher, the moving, suspenseful performance reflects a superb casting genius. Sometimes funny, most-times predictive, the heart and soul of the play is smartly crafted and follows the narrative of the novel to a tee. It does an excellent job reflecting how family and justice interact in a society filled with racial conflict.
Scout, Atticus’s precocious 6-year-old daughter and the narrator of the story reveals the intricate delicacies of relationships during a period that demands change. Just as it’s parent novel, the stage play will warm your soul and stir your conscience with reflections of how inequality and a lack of self-worth create a world that dehumanizes the less fortunate.
For the most part, these protests have to do with Lee’s liberal and historically accurate use of “the n-word.” (Although it’s startling to hear the word used so often on a Broadway stage, the producers earn points for refusing to sanitize the script.) But broader issues of race and class also continue to fuel complaints. Lee based her warm-hearted but wide-eyed bildungsroman on her own childhood growing up in the segregated Deep South during the Depression.
The judgment theme is depicted in the circumstances that befell Tom Robinson, a poor African American field attendant who is accused and put on trial for rape. He was charged with trying to rape a white woman Mayella Ewell. Atticus is appointed by Judge Taylor as Robinson’s defense against the disapproval of many of the town’s citizens. Despite the apparent evidence that proves Tom’s innocence, the jury convicts him. The racist nature of the white supremacy society places all odds against Tom
“Mockingbird,” although beloved all over the world, has always been a headache. To be sure, it sold 50 million copies when it was published in 1960, won the most prestigious of literary prizes, inspired an Academy Award-winning film starring Gregory Peck, and is taught in countless school classrooms all over the country. Nonetheless, the novel is constantly under attack by religious, civic, and parents’ groups demanding that it be removed from school libraries and classroom curriculums.

(July 26, 2019) It was an occasion to remember for 99-year-old Herbert “Herb” Dixon. His long-traveled path in golf had gained him an ultimate victory, induction into the Polk County Sports Hall of Fame. On this auspicious evening of June 11, 2019, Brian Burns, Publisher Ledger Media Group, and Mark Jackson, Director, Polk County Tourism & Sports Marketing, welcomed hundreds of guest at the Polk County All Sports Awards at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Florida.
Dixon will turn 100 years old on September 16, 2019.

Dixon savored every moment of the special event, patient and focused, a quality he is well-known for on the golf course. He was born on September 16, 1919 in Dade City, Fla. Dixon started caddying at the Bartow Golf Course in Bartow, FL at the tender age of just 15. There, he consistently played every Monday—the only day that caddies could play the course. To earn a living, he held a number of jobs including work as a citrus fruit picker, an employee of the Atlantic Coastline Railroad, a long-distance truck driver, and as security he worked in Bartow schools for the Polk County School Board before finally retiring.

In his younger years, pursuing his passion for more competitive rounds, Dixon began to play in local African American tournaments. One of his fondest memories was when he made his debut at the nationally recognized National Negro Open Tournament. Among the fine list of competitors was Charlie Sifford, a favorite of the crowd. Not only was Sifford a favorite, but Dixon learned that Sifford had also won this popular tournament five years in a row. Dixon, a rookie at the tournament beat Sifford by 1 stroke, 69-70 and won the 1951 National Negro Open.

As Dixon ages, he continues to enjoy his favorite sport, and his golf score refuses to keep up with his age. He still posts scores in the high 60s and low 70s, nearly the same as in his younger years.

They Did It Again.
Come this fall, Herb Dixon will turn 100-years old on September 16, 2019. The avid golfer who has seen decades of change in America is still keeping his tee times playing with friends and in tournaments. At the 2nd Annual Washington Park/Rochelle High School Golf Scholarship Tournament, 99-year-old Dixon and his teammates Jerry Lewis, Charles Flagan, and Lawrence Hunt won with a score of 59. Tournament Director Jay Williams presented the awards on Saturday, June 8 at Huntinghills Golf and Country Club, Lakeland, Fla., and said, “A fun time was had by all and I wish to thank everyone who attended and supported this annual outing.”
The most excitement happened when the foursome made an Eagle on Par 4 #17, playing 272 yards. After player Jerry Lewis’ tee shot that landed on the back of the green–about 10 yards from the hole–two other players also missed the holes. That’s when Dixon took a close look at the hole, focused in, and used his steady hand to putt the ball in for an eagle.

ROC City Rumble Winners (L-r) Phillis Meti, Kyle Berkshire
Berkshire Becomes New World No. 1 in Open Division;
Meti Wins Third Tour Event in Four Starts This Season
World Long Drive Season Continues with Tennessee Big Shots benefiting
Niswonger Children’s Hospital; Airs Monday, Aug. 12, Live on GOLF Channel
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (July 24, 2019) – World Long Drive celebrated its No. 1 ranked hitters in the world on Wednesday evening, as Phillis Meti (Auckland, New Zealand) continued to cement her position atop the Women’s Division, while the Open (men’s) Division produced its latest No. 1 ranked hitter in Kyle Berkshire (Orlando, Fla.), as each captured the inaugural ROC City Rumble at Home Team Sports Park in Rochester, N.Y.
For Meti, the victory marked her third time hoisting a trophy in four tour events this season, putting the three-time World Long Drive champion on track to attaining the most decorated season ever amongst the sport’s Women’s Division. The defending world champion utilized a 320-yard drive in the final to narrowly edge out Alexis Belton’s (Ruston, La.) 319-yard blast.
“I struggled hitting the grid earlier today,” Meti said. “To be able to [hit the grid] on seven balls out of eight, all over 300 yards in the final, that’s something positive that I’m going to take into the next event. It gives me better confidence to show that I can do it. It gives me reassurance that I’m on the right track.”

Entering Wednesday night, Berkshire was ranked No. 3 and had accumulated a remarkable streak of 10 consecutive tour events where he’d advanced to the televised portion of the competition, with the last time of not achieving that feat coming back in July of 2017. More importantly for the 22-year-old, it put an end to a long list of close calls in televised tour events, shaking the proverbial monkey off his back en route to becoming the sport’s new No. 1 ranked competitor in the Open Division. Berkshire needed only one ball in the final match, bettering Martin Borgmeier’s (Munich, Germany) 369-yard drive with a 380-yard ball that wound up being the longest drive of the night.
“It feels great,” Berkshire said. “I just locked in on what I was trying to do. I really only worried about what I could control, not what I couldn’t control. I don’t feel any added pressure because I never put pressure on myself in the first place to become No. 1. My job is to hit the ball as far as I can as often as possible. That’s what I’m worried about.”
World Long Drive’s summer stretch of the season will conclude next month with the Tennessee Big Shots benefiting Niswonger Children’s Hospital (Kingsport, Tenn., Aug. 10-12), which marks the final tour event of the year. Three weeks later, the season-culminating World Long Drive Championship (Aug. 30-Sept. 4) will be staged on the Texas/Oklahoma border at WinStar World Casino and Resort, with the coveted world championship title belts on the line for the Open, Women’s and Masters (age 45+) Divisions. The World Long Drive Championship will culminate live on back-to-back nights under the lights on GOLF Channel, Tuesday-Wednesday, Sept. 3-4 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
