You all know by now what a big fan I am of the European Tour and my fave players include Darren Clarke, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Nick Dougherty, Lee Westwood, Padraig Harrington and so many other greats we see pretty regularly on the PGA as well, like Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter. And of course, the ever loveable Monty 🙂 But …

Keep golfing – live longer
As I started to write about the Wales Open results today, I came across this article and had to share it. As an avid and fanatical golfer who just can’t get enough of golf, I think I may now know why. I must instinctively have known that if I golf, I’ll live longer. And the longer I live, the more …

Don’t you just love the bluntness of the British media? I have to say that when looking for golf stories, I always head to the UK papers first. One…they actually write their own stories (unlike most North American papers that just take an Associated Press feed and add their own cutsy titles), and Two…they say what they think and stand …

I am often amazed at the number of North American golfers who don’t watch the European Tour. I find it to be some of the most exciting golf on TV and the players are not only talented, they are entertaining as well. And one of my very favorite “entertainers”, Miguel Angel Jimenez, just proved that golf is ageless. At the …

…without ever swinging a club! LOL! Sorry for the blatant self-promotion, but I just had to share my good news. As you know, I write a daily (sometimes twice daily) blog for Golf For Women. On Monday I posted an interview with Brittany Lincicome on GFW because she was going to be a guest on the Big Break Ka’anapali on …

The see-saw winning ways of Lorena/Annika… I just love it don’t you? It’s way better than the Tiger/Phil battle in my opinion. It’s seems more civilized in some ways – less bitchy, which is ironic. I didn’t get to watch the event as we don’t get ESPN 2 on cable up in the Canadian tundra (grrr), but I saw some …

For those who have read my blog before, you’ll know that I like to either apologize in limerick or honor someone in same way. It’s my way of bending my knees in print. Today it’s all about honor. Annika is someone who I have admired from the moment I picked up a golf club. I can’t write anything that hasn’t …

So…I’m a busy …

Many have lumped Anthony Kim in with the ranks of Rory Sabbitini and Jason Day as “upstarts” who should keep their mouths shut about being (or beating) the number one in the world. Even Tiger himself didn’t hesitate to try and put Kim in his place last year by ridiculing his AK belt buckle. But Kim took it in stride …
