Playing golf in a fishbowl isn’t easy. “You get so much attention,” he once said. “It’s really hard.”. Woods was 15 when he shared that insight. The year was 1991, and he was an ascendant junior talent the likes of which the game had rarely, if ever, seen. At 2, he already had appeared on national TV with Bob Hope. At 3, he had broken 50 for nine holes, and, at 8, he’d broken 70 for 18. At 15, Tiger won his record sixth Junior World Golf Championship, carding a final-round 69 at fire-breathing Torrey Pines South. In the wake of that victory, Dana Haddad wrote in the Los Angeles Times, “Don’t let his big eyes, bony arms and knobby knees fool you. Eldrick ‘Tiger’ Woods of Cypress, just a babe at 15, is the man-child of golf.”

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — It was a rough day for Charlie Woods in his debut in a national championship Monday at Oakland Hills Country Club, the 15-year-old from Jupiter, Fla.—and from a famous golfing bloodline—struggling in just about every phase of the game to shoot a disappointing 12-over 82.

Billionaire Joe Ricketts has ordered crews to immediately stop construction of his long-planned Sublette County luxury resort, and restore the area to its natural condition. A project that would have made a tourist destination out of the tiny, sleepy Hoback River basin community of Bondurant has been called off because of protective wildlife stipulations that abbreviated the construction season. Ricketts sought an exemption from the seasonal restrictions, which he claimed in a memo obtained by WyoFile would have increased the cost of building the high-end all-inclusive resort by $60 million to $100 million, but his request was denied .
