Happy birthday to Stephen Ames. William Gay Jersey . And this is not just any birthday. Today, the Calgarian turns the big Five-Oh. So is the four-time winner on the PGA Tour happy about his big day? "Hell no. Its 50! Who wants to get there?" Ames chuckled in mock protest. "Actually, Im OK with it - its just a number." But its a big number, one that makes him eligible for the Champions Tour, that career mulligan circuit for the older set. He will make his official debut as an Old Guy on May 22 at the Senior PGA Championship, one of that tours five majors. "I look at it as being fortunate," Ames said, "because I have another place to play. Someone referred to it the other day as the back nine of my career. For me, it means I have 15 more years of golf and having fun with it and not having to worry about a job or a pay cheque coming in. Im pretty much set - its nice." Ames is ready to compete on the Champions Tour and thinks he can play well. Compared to many of the older guys, hes in great shape. His back problems that troubled him years ago havent been an issue for some time and in preparation for his move to the 50-and-over tour, hes lost 11 pounds. "Ive been working out hard," he said, "doing some hard cardio. Its not about weights for me, its cardio and all of a sudden the weight started dropping off. I was a size 35 pant and now Im slipping into 32s." Ames, who is being inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame later this year, has also been working hard on his game, adding some distance to his drives and concentrating on his scoring clubs. Those will come in handy on a tour where the courses are 7,000 yards as opposed to the 7,500 hes been playing. "I expect to play well," he stated. "The only difference is that instead of hitting 3-irons into greens, Ill be hitting 9-irons." After years of working with Sean Foley, Ames parted ways with the guy he brought to the PGA Tour last year. The two remain friendly but Ames found it hard to get time on Foleys busy schedule. So hes been seeing Calgary swing coach Paul Horton, and is happy with the new relationship. "The changes Im making, Im understanding them and Im starting to hit it further, which is a bit scary," he said. "The hard thing were struggling with right now is keeping it on the golf course. Thats just because Im not quite secure with it yet. But overall, Im definitely seeing the difference. Im not as short as the numbers are saying right now." In addition to less mileage on the scorecard, Ames is also looking forward to the more relaxed atmosphere on the Champions Tour, which he says will fit his personality. Its definitely a fan-friendly circuit and the out-going Ames believes hell enjoy that part of it, something thats been missing from the current PGA Tour. "Im going to get to be me a little more," he said. "The guys out here [on the PGA Tour] as so serious and stern-faced and there are no smiles... Im still enjoying it out here but its tougher and so thats why Im really looking forward to the Champions Tour." Ames will spend this year going back and forth between the two tours, playing 20 on the PGA Tour and filling in the rest of the season on the Champions Tour. For the first time in his career, hell also get a home game, teeing it up in the Shaw Charity Classic, the stop in Calgary. Sleeping in his own bed while playing a tournament is something hes never done, but hes looking forward to helping the tournament become even more successful than its maiden run last year. As he did on the PGA Tour, Ames will take to the Champions Tour in his own way. On the course, he should be a contender with that silky smooth swing of his. Off it, he will be the same guy too -- he never worries much about what others think and hes not afraid to say whats on his mind. Thats refreshing. Stephen Ames leads a stress-free life and thats a good way to be. Jerome Bettis Jersey . The attacking midfielder arrives on a free transfer from Spains Malaga.

The Grizzlies saw their 22-game home winning streak snapped on Friday night by the San Antonio Spurs, 107-101. It was the ninth straight victory for the defending champions over Memphis. The Spurs raced out to a 13-2 start in this one and their lead was never less than four the rest of the way, but that was with 21 seconds left when the game was already decided. Marc Gasol, who was a game-time decision with a right knee bruise, posted 28 points, 12 boards and four blocks. It was a torn MCL in the right knee that kept Gasol sidelined for two months last season. Memphis went 10-13 during his absence. Mike Conley provided 23 points and 10 helpers, while Tayshaun Prince supplied 20 points off the bench for Memphis, which has lost two straight after coming into its last game Wednesday night with just two defeats on the season. Tip your hat to them. Theyre a good team and they made a lot of shots, Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger said. Memphis still has the Dallas Mavericks and Charlotte Hornets on this homestand. The Heat have dropped threee in a row. Cameron Heyward Jersey. Sundays game will be No. 2 in a five- game road trip. Miami will visit the Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz on the sojourn. On Friday, the Heat fell to the Milwaukee Bucks, 109-85, at the Bradley Center. It was a tight game until the second half when the Bucks took a nine- point lead into the fourth, thanks to a 13-2 run that came mostly at the foul line. The Bucks then outscored Miami 29-14 in the fourth, leading by double-digits all the way. They shot better than 64 percent in the quarter and over 56 for the game. Miami had just one field goal in the final 6 1/2 minutes of the game, but Dwyane Wade blamed the loss on what happened at the other end, saying, Were just not a good defensive team right now. There were other problems, too. Milwaukee out-rebounded the Heat 45-20, with a 23-9 margin in the second half. They didnt miss that many shots, Wade laughed. When youre hitting on 56 percent, there arent that many rebounds out there. Wade scored a game-high 28 points for the Heat and Chris Bosh had 21 in their second straight road loss. The two teams have split the last 10 meetings, but Memphis has won three straight as the host in this series.
