Onion Soup...   Our take on golf, life and what's funny!

We've combined two of our favorite things; the
irreverent Chicago-based newspaper "The Onion,"
and the popular cable television show "The Soup,"
to come up with our own twisted version of things
...
 
                "onion soup!"
            
Check back often as content changes regularly (of this page not the soup).

                   Happy 2010!
   While we're wishing we didn't have to do this...

             

            The boys on tour are here...
             
          Yeah, now I'm in a bad mood...
       Hey, happy Winter from Briar Leaf!
     Stay warm with some free golf tips all winter from
     PGA Pro Jay Williams. Check out our Hosel Shots page.

         *********************************

                  A request to Mr. Furyk
                    
      Jim,
                    Congrats on winning the Chevron tournament and the
        trophy with the stuffed animal on it and, oh yeah, all that cash.
        Just a small request if you don't mind. Please, please stop 
        lining up and backing off right when it looks like you're ready 
        to play. It's confusing because we start talking too soon and it
        really slows down play. Also, the people behind you keep calling for
        a ranger to get things moving. 
                     Golf takes long enough. People are watching. Please
        try to set a good example.

        Sincerely,
        Every golf course operator in the country.

        

             You can thank us later....
    
You may have heard a little bit about this new driver from  
  Powerbilt Golf that is Nitrogen filled. We're here to tell you
  that this stuff is for REAL!

  Powerbilt developed the proprietary technology and other major
  manufacturers want to license it, but Powerbilt isn't sharing.
  They can't get it, but YOU will be able to! And in this area
  you'll be able to get it ONLY at Briar Leaf!


  They've expanded the technology to irons for 2010 too. This
  stuff isn't even available yet, but when it is (spring 2010),
  we'll have demos for you to LAUNCH!

  The best news is, Powerbilt is keeping the prices down! No $500
  drivers (they're under 3 balloons), with affordable fairways,
  hybrids & irons too.
Longer shots & affordable clubs...yeah,
  you can thank us later.

         The Best Golf Outing of the Year
       There's no doubt the players look forward 
       to the President's Cup every other year as
       it takes on the flavor of a really fun golf
       outing each time they play it. Here's why:

       1) You can't really win anything.
       2) You get to play with your friends.
       3) You get to play a really nice course.
       4) At least one dinner is included.
       5) You get lots of nice clothes!

        Until the International team wins one of
        these things, the President's Cup will
        never feel like the Ryder Cup.  
     
                   

         2 Smiling Guys with lots of Cash

                 
   Big Ups to TW on winning the FedEx Cup for the
   2nd time! Big Ups to Phil for winning the Tour
   Championship and finishing 2nd in the FedEx Cup.
  
   The PGA Tour gets a fresh bowl of soup for the new
   point system that actually kept some people (fans,
   not players, as I'm sure they were interested in
   all of that DOUGH!)interested in the Tour
   Championship.

            We didn't see this one coming...
                  
                                  
     The guy in the blue nearly won The Open, while
     the guy in the red went home early. I haven't
     heard of anyone claiming clairvoyance and saying
     they had Tom Watson losing in a playoff. BTW,
     I think some guy in green named Cink won the
     thing.
