Singh and Nelson Inducted Into Hall of Fame

Vijay Singh and Larry Nelson were inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday evening in St. Augustine, Florida. Both players were extremely deserving of the honor, but I wish the Hall of Fame would wait until a player retires from the PGA Tour before being inducted. Just a nit.
It’s been […]

Sorenstam Wins Again

Annika Sorenstam is riding a familiar end-of-season hot streak as she won the Dubai Ladies Masters by 6 shots over Helen Alfredsson, and it wasn’t even that close. Sorenstam has made it somewhat of a habit to turn up the heat late in the year grab some season ending tournaments, and this […]

Thorpe Wins Tournament; Hass Wins Schwab Cup

Jim Thorpe won the Champions Tour Charles Schwab Cup Championship tournament in Sonoma, but Jay Haas won the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup and a one million-dollar annuity (as we must have heard a hundred times during the telecast). Ironically, Haas won the Schwab Cup because Loren (the-boss-from-the-moss) Roberts missed a 5-foot putt for par […]

Woods Out For Tour Championship

Tiger Woods made a suprise announcement yesterday saying he would skip the PGA’s Tour Championship next week in Atlanta. The announcement caught everyone by surpise, not the least of whom was the PGA staff in Atlanta. They were a bit miffed at Tiger saying the sponsors and fans both would be disappointed. […]

Annika Keeps Pressure on Ochoa

Just when you think Annika Sorenstam is losing her grip as the LPGA’s dominant player, she steps up her performance yet again. It’s easy to forget she’s been almost as dominant as Tiger Woods, but she’s gotten lost in all the hype of the younger players on the LPGA tour.
Case in point: she’s leading […]

Last Tournament Solidify Money Position

This week’s Chrysler Championship is the last tournament of the year to earn official money and solidify money positions. There is lots of talk on the Golf Channel about guys trying to make the top 30 and make the field of the Tour Championship. However, guys that finish 125th or better earn full […]

Big Break VI - Episode 5

This episode was being billed as the “battle of the sexes” as the women were going to take the men on in head-to-head matches. Though I had no expectations going in about who might win, I thought for sure the men would at least make it close, but boy was I wrong. […]

Gulbis Is Back

The Natalie Gulbis reality show is back on the the Golf Channel for its second season, and she’s picked up from she left off last year. It’s an interesting show, but quite frankly, no more interesting than John Daly’s reality show, but we all know why Gulbis is back on the air. […]

Good Guy Fred Funk Wins Champions Event

Good guy Fred Funk won his first Champions Tour event, in only his 3rd start on the senior circuit. Funk is one of the few guys on tour that for most part, enjoys playing the game, and actually shows it during his round. Funk tells the story of mimicking Tiger Woods’ fist pump […]

Joe Durant Wins at Walt Disney World

Joe Durant came from behind to shoot a 7-under 65 and win the FUNAI Classic at Walt Disney World. Durant shot a very steady round and made the birdie putts when he needed to to keep the pretenders at bay in the final round. And similar to yesterday’s round, more than one player […]
