I learned about the Divot Card today. The Divot Card is a golf discount card that gets you “free” greens fees at Blackhawk, Chapel Hill, Cooks Creek, Cumberland Trail, Darby Creek, New Albany Links, Oakhaven, The Links at Echo Springs, and Westchester Golf Courses.
I put “free” in quotation marks because it’s not really free. You have to pay for cart rental when you go to any of these courses, and the “free” golf is limited to Monday through Thursday. The Divot Card also includes 3-4 additional discounted rounds (basically cart is thrown in for free) at these courses on weekdays. Some courses limit these additional rounds to Monday through Thursday. Others add Friday, and some even add one weekend round.
The Divot Card also gets you discounts off limited items at the pro shops of these courses and usually some free driving range balls. Cooks Creek went el cheapo and didn’t throw in any driving range balls with its Divot Card affiliation.
The Divot Card expires at all courses on December 31, 2008.
Despite all the limitations, if you can play Monday through Thursday, for $79 the Divot Card seems like a good deal. I’ll probably get one so I can review all these courses. I’ve only reviewed Westchester but still have to get the front nine on film.

Tiger’s shot on 13 ultimately did him in
Woods pulled off a miraculous shot at 13 which gave him the confidence to try what would have been an even more miraculous shot at 15, a slice 5 iron from 228 yards. The shot on 15 turn out to be ill advised. He did save par but in reality a par on 15 is a bogey especially when you are 3 behind at the time.
2007 Masters: A complete bore
Besides the lousy announcers (Faldo excluded), the 2007 Masters was a complete bore. Sure there was a little intrigue with Tiger trying to fight his troubled swing and come from three behind, but Masters tournament organizers had made the course so tough that the back nine on Sunday (typically the most exciting 9 holes of golf) was devoid of excitement. Where were the slew of birdies and eagles that allowed competitors to make a final 9 charge?
Granted Woods did have a back nine eagle and then completely blew it on 15 going for another, there were no other notable fireworks. Perhaps Masters tournament geniuses will figure it out next year and bring back the opportunity for the most exciting nine holes in golf.
