Obama's Penchant For Desert Golf Faces Scrutiny In Drought 

By Jesse Marx, Jun. 20, 2015, USA Today

PALM SPRINGS, CALIF. —One question for President Obama as he heads for Palm Springs, Calif. this weekend: whether it's appropriate to play on plush green golf links in the desert amid a severe drought.

"This administration's commitment to helping those affected by the drought is second to none," said White House deputy press secretary Eric Schultz Thursday in answer to a reporter's question on that topic before the president headed to the West Coast.

"I know that many courses have taken water mitigation steps aimed at water conservation," Schultz said.

That's true. Golf course managers convened a task force in 2013 to focus on reducing the water footprint of their properties. Since then, more owners have replaced some acres of grass with desert landscaping, and it's possible that more still will follow to cut back on watering during the drought.

PGA President's Ouster Shows Quick Reaction To Sexist Comments 

Rob Gloster, Oct. 27, 2014, Bloomberg News

Ousted PGA of America President Ted Bishop became the latest sports executive punished for making insensitive comments, reflecting a growing effort by sports bodies to react decisively on sexist or racist comments.

Bishop's removal came one day after he referred to England's Ian Poulter as a "little school girl squealing during recess," and a week after a Russian tennis official was suspended for mocking Serena and Venus Williams as the "Williams brothers."

MIAMI — Greg Norman says he is lucky to still have his left hand after a chainsaw accident.

The famed Australian golfer, who won two majors and 20 U.S. PGA Tour titles, posted a photo late Saturday on his Instagram account showing him lying in a hospital bed.

“Working with a chainsaw ALWAYS be respectful of the unexpected,” he wrote in the caption. “I was one lucky man today. Damaged, but not down & out. Still have left hand.”

Later he posted another photo with his left forearm in a foam device that helps keep the arm in place.

“Thank u all for your concern & good wishes. All well the morning after the accident. Here I am at the scene of the crime … w/my new fashion statement!” wrote Norman, who lives in Jupiter Island, Florida.

His daughter said he is recovering “nicely.”

“He will have a hundred percent recovery in a few weeks,” Morgan-leigh Norman said.

Her father had minor surgery to repair slight nerve damage, she said. The accident happened at his Florida home, she said. He went to surgery Saturday afternoon and was home that night.
