BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

More cheating from the golf course

In a recently concluded golf tournament, an official of a professional team and his group were caught cheating. It seemed that all scored par (three shot 44 while one hit 45 on a certain difficult course under difficult playing conditions) and the scorecards they turned in all had erasures. Upon further investigation, one of the caddies confessed that the scores were altered. They had two choices --- disqualification for signing the wrong scorecards or the matter goes public. These cheats chose the former of course. Now these guys are going to be expelled from their respective clubs. That, I'm sorry, isn't enough. You were inches from having your faces and names in the major dailies. Anyways, the story is going around anyways as the players from the tournament have learned of the cheating incident and they've been telling people "Did you hear about this shit that these guys pulled?" So you've been had.
