An American wedding, Tiger Woods and sleep deprivation

washburnespngolf11122005.jpgSo sorry for my silence recently. Been pretty damn busy. Went to the States a little while back for a week, caught a cold and attended a wedding (photos). Sleep patterns screwed up, several deadlines converged and now I’m pulling long shifts while filing stories from the HSBC Champions golf tournament, which is an annoying commute out to Songjiang District. Why people buy million dollar villas this far from downtown is a mystery to me — Thai Food Station doesn’t deliver out here. Anyway, here’s a story I filed for ESPN.com last night. I hope to get back to regular sleep and posting patterns soon.

  1. Nice ESPN articles Dan.

    You make an excellent point regarding the availability of only private courses in China at this time. A few public links would be awesome to bring the game to the masses…. or relative masses. SOMEONE should do it, and Shanghai would be an excellent place to do so. Or maybe someplace 50 - 100 km away, just off the train!

    Now, the question is, can it be done at a relative profit, or is sponsorship available to make it viable?

    Have a great Thanksgiving!
