  1. Just taped "On Par" interview for NPR's show "Only A Game." Airs nationally Saturday. Program times in your city here: tinyurl.com/csg4j8v
  2. Talk and book signing Sunday in Warwick, NY for my book "On Par: The Everyday Golfer’s Survival Guide," at the Albert Wisner Library at 2 pm
  3. New On Par column today so you can practice better. You don't practice? Well, if you ever change your ways: tinyurl.com/cpayrvc
  4. Thanks to Golf Channel for promoting my On Par book Sunday: tinyurl.com/co6tpeo Watched amazon ranking drop 25,000 spots in two hours.
  5. My book "On Par: The Everyday Golfer's Survival Guide" out in 5 days. Pre-order: tinyurl.com/co6tpeo. Better read than Tiger's scorecard
  6. Would you play with "illegal" golf equipment if it worked? (Because it does.) Today's On Par examines the dilemma: tinyurl.com/bta9ou9
  7. On Par golf package back for 5th season: tinyurl.com/c3yy9wx With new video, too: tinyurl.com/c6fdg6m
  8. Home plate ump called for rain delay when he saw an ark coming down River Avenue, which if this keeps up, will be aptly named.
  9. Never mind, then it started to rain. 75 percent of high rollers gone from the first 10 rows.
  10. Must be a ridiculously big game at Yankee Stadium, nearly all the pricey seats are full. The suites buffet inside has never been so lonely.
  11. Loved Rivera and ceremonial first pitch but it scared me too. If he were playing for the Red Sox he would have thrown out his arm for sure
  12. New On Par golf video, 1st of 3 this month. Might not recognize the backyard (just play along, OK?) tinyurl.com/3lz77fe
  13. Remember Kei Igawa? He's still here. My story on the long, complicated and curious case of the lost Yankee: tinyurl.com/4yskgaa
  14. Like to go to the driving range? Try Top Golf, a cross between a 1950s bowling alley and an episode of the Jetsons. tinyurl.com/3obpno3
  15. Check out new On Par golf video with Justin Timberlake: http://tinyurl.com/6kejcx7
  16. Dawn of a new On Par season: 10 things I missed about golf http://tinyurl.com/3kvlh7f
  17. Here we go again. Tiger birdies 2nd and 3rd holes. Now -7. Birdie putt on 3rd was only about 4 feet. It is, btw, sweltering on the course.
  18. Seminal moment today at Augusta or another vote for Masters experience? Feels like Rory is ready. KJ, Angel next-in-line choices
  19. @ryanhall3 I'm a reporter at NY Times and wanted to talk about Saturday's S.D. race. Can you email me at billp@nytimes.com to arrange? Thx
  20. New golf vid. Tagline for it on home page: It's never Bill Pennington's fault. I like that. http://video.nytimes.com/?src=hp1-0-V
