carl_spackler : Ruby to collect golf scores from web

Creating a new open source library hosted on Github, named 'carl_spackler'... it collects data on golf scores throughout the web, and produce a normalized form for each collection. Likely the output will be an array of Ostructs for starters.

Similar principle to OGWR, only for weekly tournament scores, not weekly golf rankings. This way anyone can collect both sets of data and use it as they so choose.

So lets say you want to grab all European Tour scores for the week, just dial up carl_spackler, and let it do your wet work for you.

Lots more to come on 'carl_spackler', 'OGWR', and others.
