With Tiger Woods mania driving every kid to pick up a set of clubs and hit the links, what better time to take a whack at golf stocks. That's the pitch for a new golf fund, due out this fall, that will invest in equipment, apparel makers and course developers. But before you pull a Big Bertha from your wallet, remember that Asia's woes have been a drag on industry stars like Callaway Golf and Family Golf Centers...
...immediate information that software, print maps and even GPS devices lack. At weather.com for instance, you get a forecast for your projected route. (My favorite among these kinds of sites is Intellicast's Golfcast, which has among its many real-time forecasts weather maps that show "hazardous" conditions at golf courses.)

When America at last committed a human life to the venture, Shepard advanced the space program by an evolutionary quantum leap.

Whatever foibles this space pioneer carried inside him, they never poisoned the camaraderie among the original seven Mercury astronauts named by NASA in April 1959. Not too long ago, says Kluger...
