Before I go any further, a quick Congratulations to K.J. Choi for his win at the Sony Open this past weekend. I really enjoy watching him play. In fact, I’d love to have his swing – it’s so simple and such great tempo – makes golf look almost easy – yeah right!!! 🙂 Now…what I really loved was him beating …

Talk about a “slip of the tongue” shank!
Kelly Kelly Kelly…what were you thinking? I know…we all speak out of turn from time to time, but girlfriend…this was a wee bit over the top. Lynching Tiger in the back alley ..hmmm…not good. I often kid the Golf Channel for its “political correctness”. You wouldn’t hear a golf channel personality say that “if Ben Hogan saw Parry’s swing, he’d …

I was just browsing the news to see what was being said about the Mercedes-Benz Championship and Mike Weir’s 1 shot lead after the 3rd round and I read this quote from Mike: “I came in here with not too high expectations”. He didn’t say “low expectations” – he said “not too high expectations”. Interesting…and look how well he is …

I heard on the TV today while watching the Mercedes Benz Championship that Tiger has announced that he’s going for the grand slam again (Ok…so the last one spanned 2 seasons – who cares). Is he getting those 4 majors out of the way so he can…what…only play one more year after that to beat Jack’s record and retire? Yikes? …

LOL! What was he thinking? Bullets in his bag? Well, if it was going to happen to someone on the PGA tour, it just had to be Boo Weekley. What a character! I’ll never drive on the I5 again, where there is a store that advertises “Bullets and Beer” without rewriting it in my mind to say, “Bullets and Booze”. …

Hello everyone. Well, it’s that time of year when some look back and others forward. I’m the forward looking type, so I am focused on two things – the Ryder Cup and my golf vacation in the fall. I just got back from 5 days in Palm Springs and played some great courses (which I’ll share in a post this …

It’s nice to see Padraig Harrington take a break from his paternity leave to head to California with yet another accolade under his belt. Yesterday, Padraig was unanimously named by the Irish Golf Writers’ Association as the Professional of the Year, for the 2nd year in a row – not too surprising with the Open and Irish Open wins this …

Just a quick followup to my posting about Jason Day “calling out the Tiger”. It seems to have caused quite the stir in the golf community …or whimper? Hey…cut him some slack. He’s good and he’s ambitious. If you don’t reach for the stars, you’ll never make the moon. Funny to see Nick O’Hern step in to give some “brotherly” …

Well, tis the season and I bet you are all out there wondering what to buy for that special golfguy or golfgal in your life. A trip to Maui to play a few rounds would be nice, or perhaps tickets to a PGA or LPGA tournament where you can see, and possibly meet, all the stars. Riiiight! Well, I just …

I don’t know about you, but I could not watch the Nedbank Golf Challenge this weekend and I’m peeved. What a great line up of golf stars and I missed them! Take a look at this leaderboard… I realize that some top names were missing like Tiger, Phil, Padraig and Jim, but hey…these players are still some of the best …
