All about the PGA Championship Carlos Monarrez gives you a primer on the history and hoopla of the youngest major August 3, 2008 Print this page E-mail this article Share this article: Del.icio.us Facebook Digg Reddit Newsvine What’s this? I t wasn't always a major, the PGA Championship. Of course, neither was the Masters. In fact, there really is no such thing as a major championship. It's only a customary title for a tournament and one that can change over time. It wasn't until 1960 when Arnold Palmer won the first two big events of the season -- the Masters and the U.S. Open -- and was about to play in his first British Open, that he and Pittsburgh sports writer Bob Drum concocted the idea of the four modern Grand Slam events, thus sort of officially marking the Masters and the PGA as majors. The PGA also was the last of the majors to enter the modern era of championship stroke play. The tournament had been a match-play event since its inception in 1916. Lionel Hebert won the final PGA under the match-play format in 1957 when he beat Dow Finsterwald, 2 and 1, at Miami Golf Club in Dayton, Ohio. In 1958, the PGA crawled out of its cave, discovered sunlight and switched to stroke play. Finsterwald edged Billy Casper by two strokes at Llanerch Country Club in Havertown, Pa. This PGA tournament also was the first to be covered by television. CBS broadcast three holes and Finsterwald's award ceremony. Here's nine other tales from the storied history of the PGA Championship. 1 The PGA and Michigan This will mark the third time Oakland Hills hosts the PGA, which puts it into a three-way tie for second with Oakmont and Firestone. Southern Hills has hosted the PGA four times. While Oakland Hills currently is Michigan's only venue under consideration for hosting a PGA or U.S. Open, it wasn't always this way. The PGA was held at Plum Hollow Country Club in Southfield in 1947, in 1953 at Birmingham Country Club sudan fact and in 1955 at Meadowbrook Country Club in Northville. The late Chick Harbert was born in Dayton, Ohio, but he spent much of his life in Michigan. He graduated from Michigan State, he served as the pro at Meadowbrook, won six Michigan PGA titles, five Michigan Opens and was inducted into the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame. Harbert won the 1954 PGA and twice was second. One of his runner-up finishes came at Plum Hollow, where $100 just may have come between him and the title. Jim Ferrier was his opponent in the final, and he realized Harbert would have a considerable fan base that might be tempted to help him, especially since there weren't ropes at that time to restrain the gallery. Ferrier hired two police officers for $100 and placed them on opposite sides of the fairway to keep things honest. After he beat Harbert, 2 and 1, Ferrier said, "That was nutrition fact for sushi the best $100 that I have ever spent." 2 Ross and the Haig You've probably heard quite a few names bandied about when Oakland Hills is part of the discussion. Ross, Hagen, Hogan and a bunch of Joneses. So, let's clear up the club's golfing genealogy. Donald Ross is one of the preeminent names in golf course architecture, and Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina is widely considered to be his masterwork. Joseph Mack, Henry Ford's advertising guru and one of Oakland Hills' founders, hired the Scotsman in 1916 to turn the Miller, Leach, Spicer and German farms off Maple Road into a world-class course. Upon first seeing the land, Ross proclaimed, "The Lord intended this for a golf course." He went va oaa fact sheet to work and created a gem that opened in online timed multiplication fact test 1918. That brings us to Hagen, as in Walter, as in the father of professional golf. In 1916, the same year Oakland Hills was founded, Hagen helped found the PGA of America with the help of department-store owner Rodman Wanamaker. Hagen already had won the first of his 11 majors at the 1914 U.S. Open when Mack hired him as the club's first professional. With a clubhouse still a few years away from being built, Hagen worked out of an old chicken coop during his one-year tenure. Hagen was born in Rochester, N.Y., on Dec. 21, 1892, and died Oct. 6, 1969, in Traverse City. He is buried at Holy Sepulchre Mausoleum in Southfield. 3 A horse head tale If you look at the Oakland Hills logo, you will notice a shielded crest that contains a golf bag -- perfectly understandable -- and a horse's head. Whoa there! Is Don Corleone sending a message to a member at the club? Not quite. Apparently, there were plans to have a polo field on the property when the club was founded. The polo field never materialized, and the understood explanation is that the logo already had been designed and no one got around to changing it. But hey, the horse is cute and it's a lot better than a monster. Heck, let's give the horse a name. We suggest Oakey. 4 Jonesing for Joneses Here's where everyone gets a little confused. Bobby Jones is the greatest amateur to play the game. He won his famous Grand Slam in 1930 when he captured the U.S. Open and Amateur and the British Open and Amateur. He finished second in the 1924 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills. Robert Trent Jones was an English-born, Cornell-educated course architect. He was hired to beef up Oakland Hills for the 1951 U.S. Open. And now the confusion: Bobby Jones' full name is Robert Tyre Jones Jr. Robert Trent Jones had two sons who also became course architects: Robert Trent Jones Jr. (who goes by Bobby, as in Bobby Jones) and Rees Jones, who was hired to update Oakland Hills for this year's PGA. And, while we're at it, don't forget about Steve Jones, who bares no relation to anyone but won the 1996 U.S. Open at Oakland Hills. 5 The PGA and the PGA Here's the deal. There are two entities that bear the name of the Professional Golfers' Association in this country: the PGA of America and the PGA Tour. The PGA of America was established Jan. 17, 1916. It runs the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup. Its stated mission is to grow the game and to set standards for the profession, which includes more than 28,000 men and women teaching pros. The PGA of America was one big, happy family until 1968, when a small subset of tournament players broke away and formed the Tournament Players Division in order fact family song and eric chandler to gain more control of its finances and schedule. Think of the Jedi and the Sith in "Star Wars" (we won't make any Tim Finchem-Darth Vader jokes). The Tournament Players Division was renamed the PGA Tour in 1975. The tour runs the weekly tournaments and the Presidents Cup. 6 The Hawk and the Monster Ben Hogan had won the 1948 U.S. Open with an unheard-of score of eight-under par. The U.S. Golf Association, which protects par the way mean kids protect candy, was black history fact on february 6th not pleased. Equipment technology and player ability was on the rise -- sound familiar? -- so Open courses were ordered to get tougher or get out of the way. Robert Trent Jones made Oakland Hills so tough that when an exhausted Hogan won the '51 Open with a score of seven over, he said, "I am glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees." Thus, the Monster was born. 7 Gary Player's willows We go from the most famous quotation about Oakland Hills to the most famous shot at the club. At the 1972 PGA, Gary Player was leaking oil down the stretch when he pushed his drive on the 16th hole. The ball landed in the right rough behind some willow trees in front of the lake that guards the green. Player used a nine-iron to smash his ball over the trees and over the water and stuck it four feet from the hole on his way to victory. But the willows, which apparently were placed there by Robert Trent Jones to absorb water, were decaying and were removed by Rees Jones during the update. During the tournament, the absence of the willows won't be noticeable because a massive hospitality tent will occupy much of what usually would be open space. 8 The best trophy in golf Quick! What's the name of the U.S. Open trophy? How about the Masters trophy? What the heck is claret and why does the British Open trophy look more like a gravy boat than a jug? Yeah, we don't know either. But we do know the Wanamaker Trophy -- named for PGA of America co-founder Rodman Wanamaker -- is far and away the best trophy presented at golf majors. Heck, its proportions alone are impressive: 27 pounds, 28 inches tall, 27 inches from handle to handle and 10 inches in diameter. Do you realize how much beer John Daly could drink out of this baby? And by the way, the world has Detroit to thank for still having the Wanamaker around. Hagen had won the trophy in 1924-27. When Leo Diegel ended his streak in 1928, Hagen admitted he had lost the Wanamaker. He said he had asked a taxi driver to deliver it to his hotel and it never arrived. It turned up in 1930 when a porter in Detroit found it unscathed while cleaning out the cellar of L.A. Young and Co., which manufactured Hagen's clubs. 9 Keep an eye out for ... If you're attending the tournament and you want to star-gaze, the practice rounds Monday through Wednesday are great days to snap photos and get autographs. The pros are relaxed these days while they play with their buddies. If you want an autograph, the best time to ask is after a player finishes on the ninth or 18th green. You have a better chance at getting a lesser-known player to sign something, and don't forget to have a Sharpie ready. If you have decided to plant yourself at one hole all day to watch a star-studded group walk by, be prepared for the media. You're likely to have your view obscured by a phalanx of reporters and photographers that travels inside the ropes. They will kneel when they can, but they won't disappear, and complaining won't help. Yes, you've paid a pretty penny for that ticket, but media companies spend thousands to send each reporter and photographer to an event so that they can work 10- to 12-hour days.

The back nine Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez comes around the turn with nine predictions (plus one for that golf tradition, the 19th Hole): 10 • With plenty of casinos nearby, John Daly will lose more money than he makes this week. 11 • Phil Mickelson won't sign any autographs Wednesday -- since he usually takes that day off during a major. 12 • Brandt Snedeker will outsmile everyone on the course all week. 13 • Adam Scott will have the fact act most photogenic gallery. 14 • Someone will pronounce Camilo Villegas' name "VAH-lay-gus" and not come within three ZIP codes of the correct "bee-JAY-gus." 15 • Boo Weekley won't know anything about Oakland Hills, which he will assume is being played in "DEE-troit." 16 • Some, or probably many, reporters will file their stories with a Detroit dateline. 17 • Some visitors from out of town will pronounce the state's name as Meechigan and assume it's the way Michiganders pronounce it. It isn't, and we have Bob Ufer and Fielding Yost to thank for the misunderstanding. 18 • Some visitors from out of town will decide it will be cool to visit 8 Mile. It won't be. 19 • Some visitors from out of town will decide it will be cool to visit the casinos. It will be, and boy will they get it. Just ask John Daly.

stirs debate Activists say Dallas' elephant will suffer if sent to park in Mexico By ANA LEY Associated Press Aug. 2, 2008, 10:21PM Comments Recommend DONNA MCWILLIAM ASSOCIATED PRESS Dallas Zookeeper Gavin Eastep, right, feeds treats to Jenny, an African elephant, as Reanna Streater cools her with water Tuesday. Share Print Email DALLAS — Jenny the elephant lazily poked her trunk into a bucket of fruit as her keepers at the Dallas Zoo hosed her during her morning bath, seemingly oblivious to the fact that she's about to be shipped from her home of 22 years. She's also certainly unaware of the controversy interesting fact on hot air balloons her departure has stirred. Zoo officials are planning to send fact about canyons Jenny, who became the zoo's lone elephant when her peru plant fact companion died in May, to a drive-through wildlife park in Mexico because African elephants become unhappy when left alone. Activists say it's a terrible decision, and that Jenny is a nervous 9,000-pounder italy fact who fears cars and would be miserable there. "It would be inherently cruel to move her to Mexico," said Margaret Morin, fact checking factcheck a registered nurse who heads a group called Concerned Citizens for Jenny. "We've grown up with Jenny. She's our family. She deserves better than getting sent to a drive-through tourist attraction in Mexico." The group and dozens of other activists gathered in front of the Dallas Zoo last weekend protesting the move, and this week Dallas City Councilwoman Angela Hunt wrote a commentary in The Dallas Morning News criticizing the decision. They want Jenny to go to a much larger park in Tennessee. Hunt said she's concerned because the Mexican zoo is not subject to annual inspections and regulations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and elephants in Mexico are also not protected by the U.S. Animal Welfare Act. "Jenny's situation is of great concern to many people I represent," Hunt told The Associated Press. "This is not an indictment of the zoo in Mexico, but Jenny deserves to be somewhere she will be happy." Officials at the Dallas Zoo, the Africam Safari Park near Puebla, Mexico, and even fact checker celebrity zookeeper Jack Hanna all say Africam is a top-notch facility where Jenny will be well cared for. "We know she is a nervous elephant, and with protected contact, she can approach people if she wants to and we can monitor her stress levels easily without anyone getting hurt or killed," said Africam owner Amy Camacho.
