Admirals Cove is one of top golf clubs in the country. It already hosts a U.S. Open Sectional qualifying event every year and as a result has a reputation of being one of the best golf facilities around. However, in order to maintain the quality that its members have come to expect, some changes are coming to the club.

In an email sent to all its golf members, The Club at Admirals Cove announced some changes to their "in season" maintenance practices and schedules.

The East and Golf Village Courses will now be closed on Monday mornings on an alternating basis. This will allow the club to accomplish all their necessary maintenance with the least amount of impact since Monday is typically the slowest day play-wise.

In addition, here are some…

Tiger Woods announced on his website this morning that he and swing coach Sean Foley have parted ways effective immediately.

Less than 24 hours after another Foley pupil, Hunter Mahan, won The Barclays (the first of four FedEx Cup playoff events), Woods announced on his website that the Jupiter Island resident has parted ways with his friend and longtime coach.

It's no secret that Tiger Woods has not looked like his old self for the past several months. After having surgery on his back in March, the Jupiter Island resident has played in four events.

He missed the 36-hole cut at the Quicken Loans National, finishing 69th in the Open Championship at Hoylake, withdrew after nine holes in the final round of the WGC-Bridgestone Inviational (a non-cut event), and missed the 36 hole cut by six shots this past week at the PGA Championship.

In addition to the golf world taking notice of Tiger's struggles lately, another one that has paid close attention is Tom Watson.

Watson, the captain for the United States in the upcoming Ryder Cup, has a…
