However, instead of this year’s two-stroke lead, he had a four-stroke lead at the start of Sunday’s play in 2011. After a pedestrian front nine, Rory stood on the tenth tee at -11, with three others, including Tiger Woods, within one stroke of the lead. As I watched the scoreboard from

While Tariffs May Hurt, Uncertainty Kills

Much to the chagrin of many of my readers, particularly those who are University of Georgia football fans, I am an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame and an avid fan of its football program. Unfortunately, although it came close this year, Notre Dame (ND) has not won a football national championship since 1988, due in no small part to its diminutive placekicker, Reggie Ho. While Reggie did not have the strongest leg of ND’s placekickers, he was the most accurate. ND’s head football coach at the time, Lou

With the Augusta National Women’s Amateur championship on the line this weekend, some contenders and legends took time out to teach Augusta children, thanks to a bank with locations in the CSRA. Rain on the course earlier in the week didn’t deter legends like Suzy Whaley (pictured) from helping lead a clinic for Augusta-area High School female golfers and a community golf clinic for kids from Boys & Girls Club of Greater Augusta and First Tee Augusta.

“Signaling” Accountability

If you have been a long-time reader of my columns here in the Augusta Business Daily and previously in other venues, you know that one of the attributes I most value in leaders is accountability. That is why I have found a recent episode in our government most disturbing.  As you have probably heard by now, national security leaders of our country discussed potentially classified information on “Signal,” an encrypted messaging app, that while much more secure than a cell phone, is not nearly as secure as the government systems
