How could this 2000 year old stone be used for grinding corn in England? Columbus brought corn back from the new world, till then they didn’t have any corn.

Alright, I know. It's a stretch for a Golf Ping. But it is the slow golf month of November and the Ping gets you introduced to SunkenCiv's excellent historical posts!

There are only 34 Rules Of Golf.

Email me if you want on the Golf Ping List: /p>

Visit PGA.com, an excellent site.

It looks like something Flavor Flave would wear around his neck.

***”Apparently only three have ever been discovered in the south of England so it is quite rare” said Mr Bagshawe, “and even rarer to find one that is completely intact.

“It’s in very good condition” he added.

“You can still see the marks that are necessary to actually effect the grinding mechanism to make sure that you do get the corn out at the end, so it’s obviously been made by man as opposed to being a natural object.” ***

And if you flip it over, it says Made in Japan!

Speaking of building new tee boxes... It’s a damn shame the PGA Tour ruled out using the new tee box that would make the 17th on the Disney Magnolia course a drivable par 4. As the finishing hole of the season-long Kodak challenge, I would think bringing eagle, or even double-eagle in to play would be good for the competition.
