           It was great going to look up the history behind my favorite sport, golf. When I looked up the hash tag #golfhistory I had found a statement saying that in 1297, the Dutch people played a golf like game with sticks and a leather ball. After researching the history on the game, I found out that in 1457 the game was banned from Scotland. After looking at the history of the game I went to look for historical golf courses. The Royal Lytham's, is a famous course that holds the British Open every year from July 19 to the 22. After typing the #golf, I found a tweet talking about how the Lytham's has 206 deep, treacherous traps witch are also known as sand traps.

Tiger and Phil

        I just read an article about Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods written by Farrell Evans. In this article Evans talks about how every time Phil or Tiger are in contention to win a tournament the TV ratings go up, and even more when this two are pared together and have a chance for victory. I agree with Evans, this two men know how to put on a great show. Phil amazing shot game and Tiger just making impossible shots anywhere on the course. Both of this golfers are playing in the Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia this week. One can only imagine how the ratings will be for this tournament.

diigo interest

       Being able to find people that have the same interest as is great because you automatically know you have something in common. Like me and majority of guys like fast cars or just cars in general. I found a group that talks about cars its not really about fast cars. For example, one of the post on the groups wall is talking about the new BMW 2011 Z4 GT3 that boasts a 4.4-liter V8 engine. Another group that I found on Diigo is a golf group. Being my favorite sport to play, it is always nice to read about the new technology that is coming out. The final group that I joined is something everybody can relate to is a group talking about movies. This group talks about the latest movies coming to theaters and ones that have been out for a while.
