...Crimson got more than it bargained for in this tune-up. Stow Acres is a true test of golf even in the most pleasant of conditions, featuring such obstacles as a 6,939 yard par-72 bear with three par-5s over 500 yards and six par-4s measuring more than 400 yards, including a Tiger-esque 478-yard ninth. Making a tall task even taller, yesterday’s golfers were battered by bitterly cold temperatures, blustering winds and intermittent rain all round long...
Nevertheless, Klein was up to the task. Amidst the miserable weather, Klein drained a seven foot putt on the par-5 18th hole to finish with identical front and back round scores of 38. That gave him a total of 76, four over par and good enough to tie Babson College’s Fabio Silvagni for first at the end of regulation...

Out of bounds specialists should try the 557-yard par 5 number 10 at the Phuket Country Club, phuketcountryclub.com, where an errant 240-yard slice over water might reach the green in one. North of Phuket, the final hole at the Thai Muang Beach Golf Course has something of a water hazard?the Andaman...

They reach the 339-yard par 4 in two; I chop through jungle and sand to land in four. But I still have a chance to catch up on the green. I'm zenning over my putt when Sawat surprises me by picking up the ball. She lines up the putt then draws an imaginary arc where I'm supposed to roll it. "Left to right," she says, pulling the flag to pinpoint...
