Tiger defeated Rocco, the Net
Not only was Tiger Wood’s epic 2008 U.S. Open victory one for the (sporting) ages, it was also the first and only time that golf has threatened the well-being of the interwebs:
When Woods was battling Rocco Mediate June 16 in the U.S. Open playoff, Internet service providers saw such a spike in usage—a 15 to 25 percent increase, according to Arbor Networks—they at first thought some kind of cyber attack was underway.

Less worky, more golfy
What’s better than doing your work/homework? Procrastinating, of course! Say hello to your new partner in crime, the World Golf Tour.
After playing my first round, I can definitely see how this game could become a serious distraction.
The game is still only a demo; in its current state, you play nine holes of a closest-to-the-pin competition…A half-dozen real courses will be online by year-end. That’s when business life as we know it grinds to a halt.
The combo of solid graphics, speedy load times, and free play is proof that mainstream gaming, like news and media before it, has real potential over the interwebs.
