I Blame Yahoo!
Well, it's still happening.
The news functionality of my personalized My Yahoo! page continues to disappoint. Having added the "Golf" module several months ago I noticed that although the headlines at the actual partner site that serves the news (Golfserv) are generally up to date, the headlines that appear on my custom My Yahoo! page are still usually days and days out of date.
Case in point: today's top headline says "Unknown Mason Takes Halfway Lead at Sr. British Open." As the world has been fully aware for the past 24 hours at least, Mason double-bogeyed the last hole in the final round on Sunday to finish tied for first, and was bested in a playoff by old favorite Tom Watson.
And no headline at all about wacky fellow-pro-impersonator Peter Jacobsen winning a bona fide PGA tour stop, the Greater Hartford Open, at age 49. (Well, maybe not 100% bona fide. A club pro named Suzie Whaley shot 75 in the first round on the course, and it was tough not to notice Jacobsen hitting sand wedge into the green for his second shot on 17, and 9-iron for his second shot out of the rough after a bad drive on 18. But hey, 49!)
Can something so simple as a "new headline ticker" not be made to work properly?
[Note to those of you who are saying "golf is like soooo lame": well you obviously haven't been to one of Fuzzy Zoeller's wild parties. I have. So don't talk to me.]
