The glitz guys of golf … and Dufner
Jason Dufner took the week off this week in North Carolina, just like all the other big-time guys on the Tour do after they win. Jason Dufner … big-time guy? Yeah, why not.

Mother Nature and other proud mamas
Jan. 20, 2012, 12:21 a.m. PST In the fast-twitch world of blogs and tweets and tubes, it’s only right that Mother Nature has her say, too.
