It was a sad day for the great phenom, Rory McIlroy today at the European Masters. He started the day with a 4 shot lead – hard to believe you can lose with that – but he did. What was his problem – too much confidence? – too much adrenalin? – too little experience? Maybe all of the above, because …

Monty Monty Monty…For an “old man”, you sure do act like a big baby sometimes. How many feet can you put into your mouth at the same time? More than most, that’s for sure! I probably blog more about Colin Montgomery’s tantrums than I do about any other golfer’s quirks. But that’s because he’s such a great target. They say …

It was a sad day today to learn that GFW magazine will no longer exist after the July/Aug issue. Look! The news even had Tiger in tears. Just when I thought that women’s golf was on its way up, this happens and it makes me realize that we have a long way to go baby! I hope that the publishers …

There’s little doubt that Michelle Wie has a ton of talent. And there’s little doubt that someday she will/could win the US Open (the Ladies that is :)). And of course, we all agree, that if you don’t believe you can win, you never will. But come on people! This is not Munich – this is not a qualifying round …

– the man who faced fear straight on and took the Golf Digest Challenge at Torrey Pines this weekend, playing one round at Torrey Pines in the exact conditions that the pros play at the US Open. Remember last year, Tiger Woods said that a 10-handicap player couldn’t possibly break 100 on the US Open setup – no way. Well, …

Not sure how I missed this story earlier this week, but it really doesn’t surprise me too much. Vijay has gotten himself into media trouble before. He sure isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, is he? And obviously he’s been thinking that the UK players are slacking off… “Lots of them start out with the right intentions and the …

If you like Monty like I like Monty, then you should check out this story in the Independent below. It’s full of good quotes, some humor and definitely some “oh really’s!”. The comment that surprised me the most was this quote from Colin about his future in the majors… “I think I will play in 15 to 20 more majors, …

Hey all you Crazy Golfing Canucks! Sandra Post turned 60 today! Can you believe it? Just last week she was at UBC giving a golf clinic for Jazz Golf. I wish I had known then…I’d have gone up and wished her a Happy B’day. Actually, I had a tee time and couldn’t stick around anyway, but I wanted to thank …

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 …

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 …
