Those clever blokes at In Golf We Trust can really put up some hi-test banter. A recent post about "what the golf world need more of" really tickles our fancy. Get a load of this...
You know what golf needs more of?
Cuba agreed Monday to relinquish hosting duties for baseball's 2009 World Cup in an effort to bolster the sport's bid to return to the Olympics.
The tournament is being shifted to seven European nations, the Italian baseball federation told the Associated Press.
Italy will host the championship final, with games also being played in six other European nations. An announcement was to be made in Rome on Tuesday, the federation said.
Retired slugger and admitted steroid user Jose Canseco confirmed Thursday that Major League Baseball wants him to help with its investigation into steroid use.
Canseco, 43, spoke Wednesday for 15 minutes with two MLB employees, who approached him before a book signing at Manhattan's Barnes & Noble.
The Toronto Blue Jays extended the Oakland Athletics to extra innings on Thursday night, but still failed to avoid a three-game series sweep.
Travis Buck's two-run double in the top of the 12th inning was the decisive hit as the Athletics beat the Blue Jays 3-2 at the Rogers Centre.
I wish people would make up their mind about Barry Bonds trainer. It seems every other week he’s either in jail or out of jail. The story is starting to get old and I’m sure Greg Anderson is tired of being a yo-yo too. I think if Anderson knew all he was going through he would been better off to just testify.
It would not surprise me after Barry Bonds retires Greg Anderson writes a book about what he knows, because then It won’t matter because Bonds will be out of baseball.
The Toronto Blue Jays look to keep their perfect home record this season intact as they host the Oakland Athletics at Rogers Centre on Tuesday.
Getting the start for Toronto will be A.J. Burnett (1-0), who is coming off an impressive start against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in the team's second game of the season on April 2.
A pitch hit the Philadelphia Phillies All Star second baseman, Chase Utley. He broke his hand and should be sitting for about one month. Abraham Nunez will most likely play second base for now. This is a major loss to the Phillies. He is hitting .336 with 41 doubles, 17 homers and 82 RBI. The Phillies have been playing pretty good baseball and might make the playoffs. Chase Utley said that he should be back before 1 month. If he does come back that soon that would be very good for the Phillies. I think the Phillies will make the playoffs. Look for them to be pretty good the rest of the season. Hopefully their star slugger comes back soon.
After winning a NCAA National Baseball championship what more could Texas really do this year? How about repeating as champion. The Longhorn baseball team is ranked number one in the first poll that is out this season and is the favorite to win it all again this year.
Florida is second in the poll followed by Clemson, Rice and Cal State-Fullerton. Texas brings back 14 letterman from a team that was 56-16 including pitchers Kyle McCullough and Adrian Alaniz who were a combined 20-7. Texas also has four field starters back who hit .300 or better last year.

Now that I hope I have the attention of Ontgolf.ca readers, I am going to focus on writing a series of golf swing mechanic tips that revolve around creating more power and distance. Additionally, I hope to subliminally create a superior knowledge of proper swing mechanics for those reading that would only listen if it was about hitting it farther.
Is there any sport that people play that more power would not be an asset? There must be some, but none that actually interest me, and those with power and distance surely appear to be the most attractive to the boys having a few while watching the big screen at the 19th hole.
