The President’s Cup will run from Oct. 6-11 at Harding Park in San Francisco.

The game originated in the 15th century on the links of Scotland, and somehow as time went on and people became more civilized, rules were adopted.

This year, however, was the end of an era as LPGA players played their final rounds in its’ longest-running event. Due to many factors Corning chose to not renew their contract for 2010.

I love the crisp air, the blue skies, and the bright sunshine. Ever since my childhood I have associated a beautiful fall day with Turkey Run State Park, one of my favorite places to go, especially in the fall. This is Covered Bridge Festival week so many other people are seeing the beauty of the fall in the trees, rivers and bridges in Parke County too!

If a player has been on tour for two years and fails to pass an oral evaluation at the end of 2009, she could be suspended. The rule is effective immediately for new players.

In this case that item is called “Patriot Golf Day 2008.” Sat, 02 Aug 2008 23:06:00 +0000 http://www.tribstar.com/on_off_the_course/local_story_215230730.html http://www.tribstar.com/on_off_the_course/local_story_215230730.html A couple of years ago I wrote a column about the changes that were going on at the French Lick Springs Resort. My husband and I finally got a chance to go back there, so I can report first-hand on the changes.

It is Indiana’s only Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, which is much better than a trip all the way to Alabama!
