History Colonial era In 1635, Puritans and Congregationalists in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, were dissatisfied with the rate of Anglican reform, and sought to establish an ecclesiastical society subject to their own rules and regulations. The Massachusetts General Court granted them permission to settle in the towns of Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford which is an area now known as Connecticut.

By 1639, these settlers had started new towns in the surrounding areas. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2006 PGA Tour
The 2006 PGA Tour was the 91st season of the PGA Tour. The tour saw several notable storylines during the season: after being challenged by Phil Mickelson in the first half of the year, when Mickelson won his second straight major at the Masters and was on course to win the U.S. Open until the 72nd hole, Tiger Woods emphatically re-established his status as the dominant golfer of his era in the second half of the season by finishing with six consecutive wins, including the last two majors, and took the Player of the Year award for the eighth time in his career. Jim Furyk had his career year to date, finishing second on the money list despite picking up only two wins, due to exceptional consistency. It was last season of the PGA Tour before the introduction of the FedEx Cup in 2007. Ten players won three million dollars, 31 won two million or more and 93 won one million or more. The cut off to make the top 125 on the money list and retain a tour card was a record $660,898. The to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
