I know, I know. You're probably asking "What does Tiger Woods have to do with Notes and Domino?"

Well, here's your answer: IBM, PGA.com and Ryder Cup, Ltd. have built an in-depth Web site for this year's competition.

No matter what side of the Atlantic you're from, the Official Ryder Cup Web site has a place for you. Once you visit the home page, you can choose your team's site, either Europe or the United States. For the United States, you can get all of the latest news, information, history, and as shown in Figure A, a preview of each hole on the golf course. The same is true if you chose the European team.

Here's what the 16th Hole at The Country Club looks like. Click picture for a larger image.

A couple of neat features in the site are the CourseCam, developed by IBM, and the News Pages, which are run by Notes and Domino.

IBM's CourseCam application captures still images from the live broadcast television feed of Holes 11-18. The application then converts them to JPEG format, creates thumbnail images, and sends them to the Web servers, which are IBM RS/6000 SPs. This will enable fans online to see images from the action taking place at The Country Club.

The News Pages will have interviews with the players, articles, and updates from journalists and golf professionals.

If you can't get to The Country Club to witness the event, be sure to follow all of the Ryder Cup action at http://www.rydercup.com.

Your site can earn this special banner Do you run a special site, one that offers an exceptional example of Domino in action, or provides a great resource for Notes and Domino users? If so, your site may be eligible for consideration as the DominoPower Site of the Month. If chosen, you'll even be entitled to display the lovely banner shown in Figure B. FIGURE B Is your site cool enough to be the DominoPower Site of the Month? If you'd like your site to be considered for DominoPower Site of the Month, send email to heather@dominopower.com.
