I went through the rest of my Gary Player interview today. Great conversation. We pretty much wrapped up the water talk last Friday, but there are still quite a few gems in here. Like, the greatest golfer he's ever seen (Ben Hogan), shooting under his age for three consecutive rounds (he did it ...

Governor Paterson has announced a deal with party leaders that will allow him to withdraw his proposed taxes on non-diet soda, music downloads, porn downloads, movie and concert tickets, golf courses, cigars, massages, beer, wine, and more — all seemingly predicated on a notion of making New Yo...

Welcome to First Word, wherein Eater and its correspondents sit for hours at steamy community board meetings to bring back the first word of new establishments and what they're up to.

Be sure to stop by Waggle Room's Fantasy Golf sponsors, 14stix.com and GolfStakes.com! We have the second of three World Golf Championships this week.  It is the CA Championship and it is played at Miami's Doral.  The Blue Monster is a fierce course if the wind is blowing.  If the win...

The last time I did this was on Friday, January 5, 2007, more than two years ago. I understand it was useful, had a fan or two. I've been asked to bring it back on a regular basis, and I said "what the hell, why not." I understand it was also helpful when it ran between 6 and 8 a.m. Not sure I'll be...
