FROM THE CART PATH:

Sports in general are something that people often immerse themselves in and sometimes become obsessed with.

Competitive athletes often find themselves seeking guidance in hope to achieve there maximum potential. In golf especially, coaches are readily available to film your swing, break it down and give you the quick anecdote or long-term plan.

Our Opinion:
'A sad commentary'

Golf always has been a game of honor. That's why it's so disturbing to learn that the winner of a prestigious national junior championship actually was ineligible.

The PGA of America stripped Sung Ea Lee of her 2002 Westfield Junior PGA Championship title after learning she was 18 when the tournament began. The age limit is 17.

RECRUITING CENTRAL
On Feb. 26, Secretary of Education Rod Paige announced he would not consider several of the changes proposed by a Presidential Commission formed to study and recommend revisions to Title IX, the law requiring equal sports opportunities for men and women.

Paige said he would only consider recommendations that received unanimous approval from his Commission on Opportunity in Athletics. Among the proposals to be dropped:

* Allowing colleges and universities to measure sports participation in new ways, such as excluding non-scholarship athletes from counts or including available roster slots even if they are not used.

* Giving schools more leeway to accept private sports money, which proponents said could keep teams afloat but critics said would be used almost exclusively for men's sports.
