Asheville's vaunted craft beer scene and bohemian rep have made the destination a darling of the travel cognoscenti, who love to blather themselves hoarse over cities that are just ever so slightly under the radar. A New York Times scribe once gushed that this North Carolina city is an "Appalachian Shangri-la" and praised the Parisian vibe of its art deco skyscrapers.
“I have a hole-in-one. I’m pretty proud of that. My first round of 18 holes, I had one. It didn’t bounce off of a tree or anything and go in the hole, it was pretty legitimate," Tiger's GF told Letterman pretty matter of factly the other night.

The golfer and the video game maker had gone steady for sixteen years but signs that the relationship was unravelling came earlier in the year with the announcement that EA would give developers a breather and skip the 2015 iteration of the popular franchise. Check out the above screen capture of what they're working on for the next gen systems.
