The month of June has arrived and many people will be taking advantage of the warm weather by hitting the links and enjoying some relaxing golfing action. One man who enjoys golfing very much is professional golfer John Daly. Daly has won two major golf tournaments including the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 British Open. Daly remains one of the most popular and intriguing figures on the PGA Tour because of his weird golfing outfits and his personal problems off the tour. Many of his personal problems deal with his battles with alcoholism and marriage as he has been divorced four times already. Another issue that Daly has dealt with is gambling. He claims to have lost between US$50 and $60 million over the past 15 years. Daly’s own health has been questioned many times by critics for his poor athletic appearance on the tour. His love of beer, cigarettes and diet coke has made it difficult for him to lose weight. Here is Daly discussing what he thinks makes for a great diet.

After April showers comes May flowers. This month ,we don’t bring flowers but we do bring to you some blood splatter in the form of the film ‘Tucker & Dale vs. Evil’. Tucker & Dale vs Evil is a 2010 Canadian-American horror/comedy film starring Alan Tudyk, Tyler Labine and Katrina Bowden. The plot is about a bunch of college students that are going camping in West Virginia . They meet two lovable West Virginian hillbillies (Tucker & Dale) and assume from their looks that they are a bunch of inbred rednecks who are going to kill them in the woods with a chainsaw. Instead, Tucker & Dale are headed to their “fixer-upper” vacation cabin to drink some beer, do some fishin’, and have a good time. When one of the college kids gets hurt and is taken in by the two men in order to heal her; the other college kids fear for the worse and try to kill the two hillbillies but only end up killing each other in weird accidents. Our quote comes from the scene where the police sheriff shows up and sees a bunch of dead bodies all around the cabin. The sheriff suspects that Tucker & Dale killed the college kids but Tucker tries to explain to the sheriff that he thinks there might be some sort of weird suicide cult killing each other in the woods. Let’s read shall we…

The ninja remote is our second gadget that will help to make you even lazier than you were before. In the past, you would need to get up off the couch and change the channel on your television manually. Then, technology improved and you would need to change the channel with a remote control device. Now, we give you the opportunity to not only change your own channels but those of your neighbours as well. Let’s be honest; some people have poor taste in television programming. This remote control will allow you to change any channel from a nearby television within a 400 ft. area. In addition, you can change the volume of their television if you have an annoying neighbour who likes to crank up the volume while they’re watching their favorite movie. Furthermore, There is also a ‘Bomb Button’ that causes the television to change channels and volume at random for five to fifteen minutes. If the bomb button doesn’t suit your needs, we recommend the ‘Jam Button’ which will cause any nearby remotes to stop working. It’s one thing to mess with your own channels but it’s an even lazier thing to mess with everybody else’s channels without even having to lift your own butt off the couch. This great prank device has been graced as our second gadget of the future.

Mini-putt is the holiday leftovers after a large feast of a meal. It’s a sport that anybody can play and still compare themselves to any great golf legend. It’s hard to describe a golfer as a real athlete when any normal person can go on a mini-putt course and shoot a golf ball through a windmill and essentially do the same thing that any professional can do on a real course. I will admit that I’m a rookie when it comes to mini-putt golf courses. In Canada, you’d think that with all the land that we have that it wouldn’t be so difficult to destroy some natural wilderness and shove a pirate ship made out of plastic right on top of some gravel. Instead, we build huge golf courses that the average joe can’t even gain membership into. In Montreal,we used to showcase a television program on a French Canadian sports channel that was called ‘Defi mini-putt’.

These guys really took the show seriously and there was cash prizes for the winners. There were 18 holes with such names as ‘Le Totem’ and ‘La Disco’ and every course had a skins challenge with the cash prize increasing after every round of golf. Unfortunately, the courses were your typical green synthetic lawn with no obstacles which doesn’t add any suspense to the game. Luckily, there are many cool mini-putt golf courses around the world that have some wicked course designs and we will show you some of these cool concepts right now.

-The first miniature golf course on our list is one that I’m proud to have said that I actually went to. Around the World in 18 holes is located in Lake George, New York and features a different nation for every individual hole. Some of the nations featured at the course include China, France and the USA. This place is a great childhood memory and is one of the reasons that I’m writing this fun article in the first place.

Have you ever wondered why it’s weird that certain teams have weird names that are uncommon to their location? We’ve always watched our favorite sports teams on the television or at the event and cheer them on passionately but have no clue what the name of the team has in common with the city or state that they live in. Usually, sports franchises are moved because of poor fan support or a bad economic situation (debt problems or a recession). In addition, teams can move because another city or state offers a brand new arena or stadium to the current owner which makes it very tempting for them to pack up the franchise and move somewhere else. Moving a team can be controversial. Fans get upset when their favorite team moves to another city but sports franchises are treated like any other business (under antitrust laws) and are free to move as they wish even at the rejection of other league owners or sports league executives. Some franchises (Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Browns,Winnipeg Jets) have seen the team relocate to a new city only for another team to move back to the same city at a later date and keep the same franchise name. Let’s look at a few good and bad team names and figure out what’s the issue with them.
