...Republicans drift, he is riding a wave of popularity that is beginning to look permanent. Last week's TIME/CNN poll showed his approval rating at 59%, and it has not dipped below 50% in the past two years. He has quieted talk about his being disengaged (and having a golf fixation) by rolling out a string of popular new proposals, even as he promises to produce a balanced budget three years ahead of schedule. The speech is his chance to transcend Paula Jones, independent counsels and campaign fund raising...
...months, guys on golf talk shows have--in all seriousness--been asking, Yeah, but without walking between holes, where's the athleticism in the sport? That scary question is being posed by golf pro CASEY MARTIN, 25, who suffers from a blood disorder in his right leg so severe that excessive walking might shatter it.

An injunction allowed Martin to drive a cart in the year's first Nike Tour tournament, in Lakeland...
Last February, Congress Watch documented a typical outing. The Tobacco Institute flew 11 members, including Republican House leaders Tom DeLay and John Boehner, to the Phoenician, a Scottsdale, Arizona resort, for a "legislative conference," complete with morning seminars on the harmlessness of nicotine and afternoons free for golf and spa treatments at the Centre for Well-Being, at a cost of $62,890.

Want to earn discounts on golf lessons or a new set of clubs, for example? The American Express Golf Card, an Optima card issued with Callaway Golf, was designed for that. Or how about dollars off hotel rooms or a chance to rack up frequent-flyer miles? Among other programs, American Express offers Hilton Optima and Delta AirLines Skymiles cards...
...Studio Lounge at Hollywood and Cherokee," says Eugene Wilson, a golf caddy. O.K. One last chance. You walk in, and here it is. At last. You have entered a world in which the clocks stopped in the last minute of 1997. Or perhaps 1957. Of the 12 customers, 10 are smoking, and they can't believe any self-respecting bar patron would observe this kind of government meddling in their lives. Marlon Tolbert, a travel agent, is smoking a hot dog-size Honduran stogie. "My wife won't allow it at home, so where else...
