Well, it appears from wire reports that the Americans are finally letting their hair down at a Ryder Cup match. The team went out today to practice together and while they played with their potential partners for part of the day, Lehman had another surprise before they were finished.

There was an interesting article at The Golf Channel that talked about the possibility of the Nationwide Tour having better golfers than the European Tour. With all due respect to our Nationwide players, they’re a distant third behind the European players. It’s really not even close and I’m not sure what the point […]

I’m must have been sleepwalking yesterday because I forgot to mention that Paul (The Mouth) Casey won the HSBC World Match Play Championships by absolutely trouncing Shaun Micheel, 10 and 8. For newbies, that’s 10 holes UP with 8 holes left in the match. That kind of score is almost unheard of in the […]

Tiger Woods, Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, and Retief Goosen. Four of the top golfers in the world. All are going home early after first-round losses at the HSBC Match Play Championship outside of London. Match play is a completely different beast than medal (stroke) play and it’s not completely surprising to see […]

Tiger Woods, Chris DiMarco, and Darren Clarke. The casual golfer knows that on the surface, all that they have in common is that they’re professional golfers. For the more serious golf fan, they know that what really links them together this year is that all three men have dealt with the loss of […]

There’s an excellent interview over at CNNSI with the great John Wooden, the greatest college basketball coach in history (in my humble opinion). So what does have to do with golf? The interview, Seth Davis, asked Mr. Wooden some golf questions and here’s an excerpt of some of his answers:

Jim Furyk won the Canadian Open yesterday and in the process moved up in the world rankings to 2nd place, moving Phil Mickelson down a spot. Ouch! A year ago, Mickelson had become the darling of the media and the fans as he had just won the PGA Championship and eventually would go on to […]
