A 65 year old golfer died after his golf cart plunged 23 meters off a cliff when playing the second hole of the Pala Mesa Resort golf course in northern San Diego. The cart apparently veered off the pathway, travelled down an 8 metre embankment and sailed over the cliff.

Congrats to
Nick Flanagan on wining the
BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Nationwide tour. This is a consecutive win for Nick after taking out the Henrico Country Open a couple of weeks ago. Things are looking good for a crack at the lucrative pga tour next year.

It was great to finally see Peter Lonard hit some form in the Players Championship. I'm a Peter Lonard fan and it's been disappointing not to see him towards the top of the leaderboard more often. I definitely think he has the talent to contend each week, just look at some of patches he has strung together here in Australia.

We can't go without mentioning Peter's
Albatros on the second hole on Saturday. Good shot!

So yay, in their latest budget the Australian government has announced an increase in the solar panel rebate. It now sits at $8k. Nothing to be sneezed at and I'll happily take it when I finally get around to building my house. However I can't help thinking it's a bit of an election ploy to try and win back some marginal green votes. It still works out to be quite expensive to install a solar panel and I'm not sure how many people will take it up. So, could the money be put to better use? It would certainly go a long way towards insulating a house.
