True to form, Woods only got better in 2000, when he capped off an impressive first half of the year by winning his third major, the 2000 U.S. Open, in Pebble Beach, California. The No.1-ranked player in the world, Woods outclassed the competition by a record margin, winning the tournament by 15 strokes and breaking the standard for a major tournament set by Tom Morris at the 1862 British Open. In July 2000, Woods won the British Open, becoming--at 24--the youngest player ever to win all four major titles: the PGA Championship, the Masters, the U.S. Open, and the British Open. A month later, he successfully defended his 1999 title at the PGA Championship in a playoff victory, becoming only the second player (after Ben Hogan in 1953) to win three major titles in one year. He won the Canadian Open, his fifth tournament of the summer (out of the seven that he played), in September.
Imagine the sun bursting through the trees for the first time of the new day, the smell of freshly cut grass still potent to your nose as you tee the ball up for a round of golf in the cool mist of a spring morning. "That is what brings you back every time, the smell of the air, the coolness of the whether and the beautiful surroundings that make every shot enjoyable." (Suess, PI) This is the game of golf in its finest and most exquisite time to many people and many people it has touched in its long history. Golf is a lifestyle and not just games to people that are avid in playing. The game of golf has a history that is rich in technological advances and personal accomplishments, which through time has shown to shape
Dunn finished 3-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored. LeBlanc went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI. Junior Nichole Aldridge (3-4) recorded the win in the circle for the Ladies, allowing six hits and three runs (two earned) with four strikeouts in seven innings of
Centenary got back one, but the Crusaders put the game away with five in the sixth. The Ladies committed three errors which led to three unearned runs for Dallas.
The Gents played a closer game then they are used to in the series finale, but the Maroon and White never trailed in the series as Centenary (16-3, 3-0 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) swept a doubleheader with a 12-0 win (seven innings) in game one and 9-6 in game two.
In addition to taking the Cape Breton championship that year, the Post Bombers captured the provincial and Maritime crowns. However, Verbeski believes that Glace Bay, and not Sydney, could just as easily have been the winners of the whole shebang. “They got a break and capitalized. We had two super players, captain Harvey Ellsworth and Port Morien’s Rodney MacIntosh, and they had two glorious chances in the third to either tie it or win it but they were foiled by Mike Novak, a tremendous little goaltender. Our goaltender, Billy MacMullen, played extremely well, too.”
The Ladies got back on the scoreboard in the seventh with a one-out sacrifice fly for the go-ahead run. Then, they followed that up with a RBI single for an insurance run and to make it a two-run contest.
With two out and a man on first Raj Davis of the Indians

Our town is notable for having several interesting golf courses. For those residents whose interests lie in other pursuits, those courses are a waste of large quantities of otherwise useful space that could be better used to construct another mall or store. For the golf enthusiasts among us, however, the preponderance of courses is a delightful benefit of living in this otherwise uninteresting locale, where the only saving grace is the plentiful supply of interesting people.
