I just joined lastminutegolfer.com/columbus. It’s free to sign up and join. From what I can initially tell, Last Minute Golfer gets you discounted golf if you are willing to fill last minute tee times. It’s probably similar to what flying standby used to be. You got a cheaper fare just to fill the seat at the last minute.
To extend the airline metaphor some more, Last Minute Golfer also offers frequent golfer yards which you earn in a variety of ways including booking tee times through the site and by rating courses that you have played. It appears you can trade in those yards for further discounted greens fees.
Last Minute Golfer also offers a handicap service so you can get and maintain a handicap.
I’ll keep poking around the site and report more on what I find.
If you decide to sign up, tell them that RickSpringfield (that’s right – no space) referred you. I was listening to Jessie’s Girl at the time I signed up.

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.
