Fortunately for the Empire State duffers among us (if not for our golf partners), the New York Court of Appeals recently affirmed a lower court ruling that a golfer has no duty to warn other players by yelling “fore!” before their errant shot strikes another golfer. The incident giving rise to the case occurred in October 2002 on the Dix Hills Park Golf Course on Long Island. Dr. Azad Anand and Dr. Anoop Kapoor were golfing buddies and one morning in October their group had just hit their second shots on the first hole. Walking ahead, Anand found his ball resting in the fairway rough but was unaware that, farther back, his playing partner had already begun his third swing.

  • Super Bowl Shuffle” Sets America Rapping 20 Years Ago
    35TH ANNIVERSARY OF NFL-AFL MERGER From April through June 1966, Lamar Hunt exchanged correspondence with Dallas Cowboys general manager TEX SCHRAMM, who was acting on behalf of Commissioner PETE ROZELLE on a possible merger between the AFL and NFL. On June 8, 1966, the two leagues announced an agreement in which: · The nine AFL clubs (expansion Miami was added in 1966) would pay a total of $18 million over 20 years to join the NFL. · Pete Rozelle would serve as commissioner. · The leagues would play a championship game following the 1966 season. · Existing franchises would remain at present sites. · A common draft would be held, beginning in 1967. · Two new franchises, one in each league, would be added by 1968 (Cincinnati and New Orleans). · Interleague preseason games would be played in 1967, and a common schedule would begin in 1970. The NFL-AFL merger was approved by Congress on October 21, 1966, when an anti-trust exemption was added as a rider to an anti-inflation tax bill. President LYNDON B. JOHNSON signed the bill into law. In August 1969, after spending 36 hours behind closed doors, NFL and AFL owners announced the creation of two 13-team conferences – the AFC and the NFC. Three NFL clubs – the Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers – joined the AFL clubs in the American Conference and the remaining NFL clubs composed the National Conference. How those conferences have fared since: COMPARING THE CONFERENCES (Since 1970) AFC Category NFC 918 Interconference Games Won 836 20 Annual Interconference Series Won * 8 29,305 Points in Interconference Games 29,404 17 Super Bowl Wins ** 22 18 Pro Bowl Wins*** 17 16 Individual Passing Titles 19 20 Individual Rushing Titles 15 * Seven series were tied ** Since 1966 ***Since 1971 “SUPER BOWL SHUFFLE” SETS AMERICA RAPPING 20 YEARS AGO The 1985 Super Bowl XX champion Chicago Bears not only had one of the greatest running backs and defenses of all-time in WALTER PAYTON and BUDDY RYAN’s famed “46” alignment, but also a true cast of characters.
