Golf tournament held for the Taylor’s Gift Foundation

By Caroline Carter Staff Writer As golfers and volunteers arrived on Friday for the second annual Taylor’s Gift golf tournament at Brookhaven Country Club, a poster with all the recipients of Taylor Storch’s organs reminded them why they are supporting such an important cause. On March 15, 2010, thirteen-year-old Coppell resident Taylor Storch lost her life in a skiing accident while on vacation in Colorado. Her parents, Todd and Tara Storch made the choice to donate her organs as Taylor’s final gift. The Taylor’s Gift Foundation was then created to promote organ donation awareness. Over the past year, the Taylor’s Gift foundation has grown into a well-known organization across the country. From what started as…

Byron Nelson tournament not attracting top golfers

By Travis Bremner Staff Writer The Byron Nelson golf tournament began on Thursday; it featured none of the 16 best players in the game, according to the world rankings. It is becoming more and more popular for the top golfers to skip the Nelson, but why? Many players don’t like how the course plays; they opt for the Colonial Tournament instead, which is a week later. Since golfers like to have a week off in between tournaments, especially when playing a major, which would seem to fit where the Nelson is on the schedule, two weeks after the Players Championship and two weeks before the Memorial. Perfect, right? Even back when Bryon Nelson was alive,…

by Caitlin Conner             Tomorrow, the CHS golf team competes in district at Bridlewood Golf Club in Flower Mound. Coach Kirk Richardson is optimistic about the team’s future as well as certain individuals.        “I think we have a pretty good chance of winning district,” Richardson said. “As far as individuals, I expect to see a lot from [senior] Janny Kim, [sophomore] Aja Zarrehparvar, [junior] Lauren Murphy and [freshman] Tiffany Breitenwischer.”         Zarrehparvar’s thoughts are along the same lines as Richardson’s.           “As a team, I think we’ll either finish second or third,” Zarrehparvar said. “As an individual, I’m thinking low eighties.

New Tiger commercial sends powerful message

We’ve all heard about the massive scandal concerning Tiger Woods and his harem of mistresses. Concuring with his return to golf at the U.S. Masters tournament this week Nike began airing this commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FjYMwPirrI Now regardless of your thoughts on the scandal itself, this is by far one of the best ads I’ve seen in years. While some may think this ad in itself is a risky ploy (possibly alienating Nikes customers by siding with a man who has been scorned by women around the country), I think it’s brilliant. To show Tiger in this vulnerable state, his father’s voice speaking ghostly in the background, shows a man attempting to put himself at right with…

Tiger to address future today

By Andy Tabor Tiger Woods will come out and face the music today.  In a controlled press conference where he will read a prepared statement to a small audience of the media.  No one besides people in Wood’s camp knows what Woods looks like or how he is doing mentally since the crash that exposed his secondary life. Woods has been at a sex addiction center trying to rehab himself.  Also Friday he will address his golf future.  The rest of the PGA tour should pay attention to this announcement from the PGA heads that understand Woods is great for the game or the players the realize with Woods in the picture winning majors and tournaments are…
