ST. ANDREWS, Scotland The cheering jarred Inbee Park from her sleep.The
10-year-old went downstairs to find her father in front of the television
in the middle of the night in Seoul as he watched Se
Ri Pak become the first South Korean to win the U.S. Women's
Open.Within a week, Park wrapped her hands around a golf club for
the first time, not knowing that it one day would lead her
to the brink of history."They were doing replays every day on TV,
her hitting the shot out of the water with her socks off,"
Park said. "It was cool to see her white feet. I didn't
know what was happening, but I thought it was really cool to
be seen playing golf and being on TV. Everybody was talking about
it. Golf looked really fun."Fifteen years later, everyone is talking about
Inbee Park.A win this week in the Women's British Open
at St. Andrews, of all places would make the
25-year-old Park the first golfer to win four majors in one season.Arnold
Palmer created the modern Grand Slam, winning four professional majors in

since 1945. On top of crowded flights, most airlines have schemes in
place to reserve choice seats for frequent flyers or those willing to
pay a feeAmid this atmosphere, some passengers are desperate enough to offer
bribes to get their preferred seat.Airline employees can lose their jobs
for accepting bribes, so few are willing take the risk of offering
an upgrade or a better seat in exchange for a kickback. In
some countries, bribes can still get you onto a full flight or
in a better seat, but in the U.S., passengers who cant get
their way may be stuck pulling out their wallet and approaching their
fellow passengers.While not illegal or prohibited by the airlines, passengers
exchanging bribes is a concern for some who say it will create
chaos in the cabin.- Dr. Joyce Hunter, associate professor at Saint Xavier
UniversityLast month, Jason Goldberg, the CEO and founder of Fab.com offered
his fellow passengers $100 to swap seats in the first class cabin
of a flight from Stockholm to Newark so that he and a
colleague could collaborate on a work project. When they declined the offer,
he vented his frustration to his 37,000 Facebook followers.The dude next
