House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs touched off a firestorm of
controversy today by announcing that President Barack Hussein Obama
intends to nationalize the Terrapin Travelin’ Trophy. Known to its

Welcome to
the revamped 2010 Dimpled Orb website. As we go online, Michael
Wood has been forced to withdraw from this year's event due to medical
circumstances. He will undergo major surgery soon. This will be the first Golf
Trip Michael has ever missed. Everyone in the field
will miss all that Michael brings to the Trip. We all pray that
Michael makes a speedy recovery and returns to the Southern Pines
Invitational next year.
We have made a few changes
to the website that
we trust you will enjoy. The new
Player Profiles for 2010 are here.
We have kept the Profiles for 2009 here
for performance comparisons.
The
Real-Time Leaderboard now occupies its own page, with links to daily
scorecards for each round. This will allow players and fans
alike to see how their favorites are doing hole-by-hole. The
Past Results now have their own pages apart from the Leaderboard.
The History of the Golf Trip is still here as a sub-page of
Special
Features.
This
year we're going to try liveblogging the Golf Trip. Be sure to
check out
Fans of the Dimpled Orb on Facebook, and Chuck's
OrbTweets on
Twitter, for the latest updates from time-to-time as the tournament
progresses.
We have also added a
Site Map here. This general
index can get you to about anything on the site if you'd rather dispense
with scrolling through pages to get there. There is also a Site
Search engine to the left that can help you find what you are looking
for.
Get ready, as the
Tournament is just around the corner. The
Invitation from Your Noble Calcutta Chairman, in absentia, awaits you
here.
The
pairings and tee times are
here. And try the interactive map or click on the link below
if you need directions
around the rockslides
to get to Southern Pines.
Good Luck, and may your
hunt for the Turtle prove fruitful!
