The best way of describing this cart is: The Linksman Golf X7 is the generic version of Sun Mountain’s V1 Speed 3 Wheel Cart.

The Luverne Country Club about 40 miles south of Montgomery, Alabama is not the most prestigious golf club you will ever visit, but it is definitely one of the friendliest. I have played at Luverne every summer for the past 9 years and feel as though I am one …

Last year, the Atlanta Falcons made a coaching change and ended up winning their division. This year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are doing the same thing in an effort to repeat their rival’s success.
I’m not sure they will.
I will admit, I was very surprised when the Buccaneers suddenly fired …

William Henderson is not a full back you’ll see in the pro bowl. And, playing for a Packers team that’s in transition, it’s likely you won’t see him in the playoffs before he eventually decides to retire.
However, in my opinion, he’s the best full back in the league. He’s …

Ever since 2001 I’ve had an intense hatred for the New England Patriots. I’m an Oakland Raiders fan, born and raised, so I’m still terribly upset over Tom Brady’s fumble in the 2001 playoffs that cost the Raiders the game. Out of all the Patriots, none make me more …
