With all the buzz about Sunday's Super Bowl, one very unique event that occurs this weekend often gets overlooked. The Ultimate Sports List has much representation from the world of golf, including the Masters, The Ryder Cup, The Open Championship and Pebble Beach Golf Links. While most golf events in TUSL.com involve either a championship or a course, one event involves only one hole - the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open. And it's not a diabolical Pete Dye created island green like #17 at TPC Sawgrass, or the famous #18 at Pebble Beach with the waves of the Pacific guarding its ...
Although February is the shortest month - and thankfully for those of us who live in the cold north - it is a month of big changes at The Ultimate Sports List TM.

We will also add a major merchandiser as a partner, and finally, an online sports gaming website that will allow you to play ...

I said goodbye to one of my best friends today. If you’ve never had a dog, or don’t like dogs, or just aren’t a dog person in general, you can stop reading right now. One of the advantages of having a blog, no matter what the topic, is sometimes you can use it for your own personal therapy. That’s what I’m doing today. If you read on, remember that this piece is more about me than it is about you. Thanks in advance for indulging me. We met on a hot, sticky summer Sunday in August of 1997. It was love at first ...

Manhattan Beach Open -- Full Speed Ahead!
When the AVP Tour announced last week that it was cancelling the rest of its season for financial reasons, the immediate thought was: What about Manhattan? The crown jewel, the "Granddaddy" of beach volleyball couldn't be cancelled, particularly as it was ready to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Well, the good -- no great -- news is that the city of Manhattan stepped up and the tourney will go on. Even better, the MBO will go back to its roots of side out scoring, lawn chairs instead of bleachers, and no admissions charge. And the players will play for pride and the ...
