SANTA ANA, Calif. — A New Year's Day rally is brewing in Irvine by way of Azeroth.

A group of Ron Paul supporters are using forums and a simple Web site to organize a march in the World of Warcraft computer game in support of the Republican presidential hopeful.

Azeroth is a kingdom in the mythical world of the massively multiplayer online game made by Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine, Calif.. More than nine million players pay a subscription fee to play WoW.

CHICAGO — Most golfers probably don't get much out of practicing at the driving range, which probably accounts for the high handicaps.

Just look at all the golfers aimlessly whacking away, usually with their drivers, without any real purpose. There are target flags out there, but the hacks are content merely to send the ball flying through the air, not caring where it lands. In the end, all they accomplish is making themselves tired.

Now thanks to TopGolf in Wood Dale, Ill., it doesn't have to be that way anymore.
