Despite visiting Augusta numerous times to host Masters Golf Tours, I admit, I had barely explored beyond the street that the Augusta National is located on, Washington Road.
A few years back, during one of my long weeks of working during Masters Week, I decided to escape to the Augusta Museum of History and eventually found myself on a trolley tour hosted by local historian and author, Stan Byrdy. Stan is the author of two great books that every golfer and golf fan should own, The Augusta National Golf Club: Alister MacKenzie's Masterpiece, and Augusta and Aiken in Golf's Golden Age.
As we toured around, Stan talked about the Revolutionary War and Civil War history of the city. We explored neighborhoods with stately homes and the homes of famous city residents, including Ty Cobb and Woodrow Wilson. Then Stan began tracing the history of golf and how the players

The Dallas Cowboys are set to “practice like a champion” in their very own state-of-the-art training facility in Frisco, Texas named The Star.
Located just 20 minutes north of Downtown Dallas in the suburban neighborhood of Frisco, Texas is the home of the Dallas Cowboys practice facility and headquarters appropriately named “The Star”. Ford Motors recently announced a sponsorship deal to formally name the facility "The Ford Center at The Star".
The minute you exit off the Dallas North Tollway, the structure looms in the distance. It’s so huge, I almost ran into the car ahead of me at the stoplight. For most teams, players workout at a practice facility that consists of a medium sized office building with a few workout rooms and for the colder climate teams, an outdoor practice field under a large inflatable tent.
The Cowboys have decided to take their practice facility to a new level. The facility is enormous with a large glass arch suspended over the estimated 12,000

I love London and I love the Dallas Cowboys so when the opportunity came to host this years NFL International Series in London when the Dallas Cowboys play the Jacksonville Jaguars in November I was in!
I’ve hosted tours all over the world during the past 14 years at Sports Traveler and this trip is one that I am really looking forward to.
From Westminster Abbey to Big Ben to St. Paul’s Cathedral, the city is filled with history and amazing architecture at every turn. I love the fish and chips and taking a walk on the River Thames. I love the cool air on my face. And then there is the game at the incredible Wembley Stadium. I can hardly wait to show you everything while we are in this amazing city!
On November 6th, we’ll start out at Heathrow Airport where our guides will meet and greet you after your arrival and transfer you to our host hotel. We will be staying at the Copthorne Tara Hotel, located right in the heart of everything you’ll want to see in the city center.

The schedule makers struck gold this year. This will be the fourth edition of the annual Cowboys Classic and I don't think we could have landed a better match-up. These two historic programs have combined for over 1,700 wins and both rank in the top 10 all-time in wins and winning percentage (Michigan: 895 - .734, Alabama: 814 - .697). Alabama (14) and Michigan (11) are also #3 and #4 respectively in national championships won by a college football program. Needless to say, these are two of the most accomplished athletic programs in the history of collegiate sports.
The Crimson Tide and Wolverines have only met in three previous engagements. The maize and blue have managed to grab the advantage 2 games to 1 in the limited but eventful all-time series. The last meeting between these two teams was at the 2000 Orange Bowl. Turned out to be a great game that needed extra time to decide the winner. Michigan ended up the victor with a 35-34 victory in what would be the last collegiate game for some guy named Tom Brady.

The British Open is the oldest tournament of the four major golf championships. Established in 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club, the Open Championship (more commonly called), has become a fan favorite for years. The design of each course used during the Open always excites and baffles fans, as well as the players. The golfers have to battle with strong winds, deep bunkers, high grass in the fairways, and exceptionally strong rough.
