The PGA Championship, the annual culmination of golf's four major championships, celebrates its 86th anniversary in 2004 with its first visit to Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis. Since its inception in 1916, the PGA Championship has evolved into one of the world's premier sporting events.
The PGA Championship was born in the mind of department store owner Rodman Wanamaker, who saw the merchandising possibilities in a professional golfers’ organization.
The PGA Championship was put on hold for two years because of World War I. It was resumed in 1919 at the Engineers Country Club in Roslyn, N.Y. Barnes was again Champion, turning back Fred McLeod, 6 and 5.

 The Clarion Issue - Column
Americans tuned out the conventions choosing to cast a vote with their clickers and voted for summer reruns and baseball games rather than the political rhetoric filled pep rallies held by the Democrat and Republican parties in honor of their candidates.
Americans see the Republican Party as a party of the wealthy and extreme right, and they feel the Democrat Party is controlled by the left.
Americans also feel that no matter who wins, our elected officials are more influenced by special interests, large corporations, and political ideology rather than the reality of daily life in middle-class America.

On Sept. 22, the White Sox clinched their first American League championship since throwing the 1919 World Series to the Cincinnati Reds.
But I had at least experienced the flavor of a championship series, something my father would experience three times with the Red Sox before his death in 1991.
I pumped my fist one time in the air when the final out was recorded and smiled proudly when baseball commissioner Bud Selig presented the championship trophy to White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.

 Welcome to the CMAA National Club Championship
Golf, a sport of growing popularity in the United States at the time of Pinehurst’s founding, was introduced to the resort not by its owner, but by its guests.
According to Richard Tufts’ book, The Scottish Invasion, the tournament’s original title was the "United North and South Championship," designed to convey a union of the North and South, even though several decades had passed since the Civil War.
The word "United" was later deleted to shorten the tournament’s name; plus, a firmer union between the North and the South had become less a matter of serious concern.

Its exact derivation is unclear, though it seems certain that the term refers to the lobby of a legislative assembly where the hired guns of special interests traditionally gather to ply their trade.
I do concur, though, that Americans are more familiar with French and German pronunciations than Italian and Russian, and therefore might make certain assumptions about pronouncing a particular word.
I have little clue as to why some American pronunciations stay closer to the French (although not, as it happens, in the cases of "lingerie" or "chaise longue") but it's something that my colleagues in Britain often commented on.
