Follow US Women’s Open on Twitter
You gotta love it when very traditional institutions adapt technology- the US Women's Open is now on twitter and although some of the twittering is more about Wii Golf inside the tents if you like your information in small random doses then by all means go follow them.

There are a lot of golf courses being built in Asia and Latin America for retirees like me. If you’re ever in the Philippines, you should try them out.

Are most of the golf courses in the Philippines in Manila or spread out all over the archipelago?
