Mini Golf At Captain Bligh’s Landing

Monday, March 21st, 2011

Miniature Golf anyone? On Clearwater Beach, there is a neat mini golf place, on Gulfview Blvd., called Captain Bligh’s Landing. Although I haven’t played the course there, I think it looks pretty cool from the sidewalk. I imagine it’s probably a lot of fun.

So if you are looking for some mini golf fun while you are taking your vacation or holiday on Clearwater Beach, you might want to check out Captain Bligh’s Landing.

And don’t forget, the 34th Annual Tarpon Springs Fine Arts Festival is this weekend! Click here for more information.

On This Day In History – Happy Birthday, Tiger Woods!

Sunday, March 20th, 2011

On this day in 1975, in Cypress (Orange County, California), Eldrick “Tiger” Woods was born to Earl and Kultida Woods. The world of golf – and sport overall for that matter – have never been the same since.

How time flies! … And while we’re not in the habit of stepping out on limbs here around In Golf We Trust, we’ll say this with with dead-solid certainty: Treasure him while you can folks, because Eldrick “Tiger” Woods is the best golfer most of us will ever see in our lifetimes and he’s square in the middle of his prime. Happy 32nd, Tiger …

Is it really that long since little Tiger, aged 2, was shown swinging a mini golf club on the Mike Douglas Show on October 6, 1978 alongside his father, the host, and entertainer Bob Hope? Yep. Is it really that long since Tiger became the youngest player (at the time) to make his debut in a PGA Tour event, when he teed it up at Riviera in the Nissan LA Open in ’92 at age 16? Yep again …

It was during that tournament that Masters champ Sandy Lyle was asked if he had ever heard of “Tiger Woods” and Lyle replied: “Is that a golf course?”. And Tiger, asked about what he had learned in the event, said “I learned I’m not that good.” (Both still among our favourite Tiger anecdotes).
