Columbus, Ohio has more than just spectacular private courses
Golf.com/Golf Magazine
Not far from the airport – less than 20 minutes – lays the Scarlet Course, an Alister Mackenzie creation. Ohio State’s most famous golf son, Jack Nicklaus, reconfigured the course two years ago and returned the bunkers to Mackenzie’s original design.
Fans and students of Mackenzie’s most famous masterpiece, Augusta National, will quickly identify the legendary Scottish designer’s touch, particularly on the undulating greens.
But the Nicklaus vision is also apparent, especially the many bunkers that permeate the landscape. The combination has turned the Scarlet into an exceptionally demanding test of golf, perhaps as stern as Nicklaus’ most notable creation, Muirfield Village.
From the back tees, this course is a (Golden) bear, at a hearty 7,400 yards and a par of 71.
It is so challenging, in fact, that a Nationwide Tour event played there last year produced the second-highest aggregate score for the 2008 season. Ask Fred Couples, who didn’t even turn in a scorecard when The Ohio State Golf Club (which also has a Gray course) held U.S. Open qualifying in 2008. “And he played pretty well,” said General Manager Marc Lucas.

Oden hopes to make forceful change to his game
Yahoo! Sports
LAS VEGAS – Greg Oden(notes) was spent. The injuries, his inconsistent play, the expectations that came with being a supposed franchise-altering center – all of it had worn on Oden. The fun-loving free spirit who charmed the NBA as the No. 1 pick two summers ago had transformed into a brooding giant.

Pelotonia seeking generous bicyclists

The Columbus Dispatch
Finding enough bicyclists willing to commit up to $2,000 to participate in the inaugural Pelotonia Tour is proving to be an uphill climb for event organizers. Five weeks out, the Columbus-to-Athens fundraiser for cancer research is 540 riders short of its goal of 2,250. Organizers aren’t panicking yet, they say, but they’re getting antsy. “Am I nervous? Yes,” said executive director Tom Lennox, whose Web site (Pelotonia.org) continuously updates and displays the number of registered riders. As of yesterday evening, the count stood at 1,710.

Ohio State Buckeyes football predictions for the 2009 season
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Sept. 12 is a key date for the Ohio State Buckeyes. That’s when OSU will host USC, and that game will go a long way toward determining OSU’s chances of playing in the National Championship game. Of course, it doesn’t end there. The Buckeyes do have to play at Penn State and at Michigan. But college football previews are already making predictions. Several consider the Buckeyes contenders, and some consider them pretenders. Here are a couple:
