I’ve seen sparks fly off clubs but I’m sure I believe this story. Reportedly, a golfer struck a rock during a swing which caused a spark setting the rough on fire. It went on to cause a huge bushfire on and around the Shady Canyon Golf Course. I’ve yet to hear form the golf course confirming the story but California is very dry at the moment.
Paul Casey, currently #9 in the world golf rankings was overlooked for Ryder Cup team selection by Colin Montgomerie.

Tiger will be there though.
