Is Irwin Back?

Wow. It’s great to see Hale Irwin leading a Champions Tour event once again. Seems like it’s been ages since Irwin has been a factor on the senior circuit. Granted, there’s one round left to play, but I liken it to someone getting their sea legs all over again. He might […]

Senior Circuit Ready

Following the PGA Tour’s debut a couple of weeks ago in Hawaii, the Champions Tour kicks off this week at the 2007 MasterCard Championship at Hualalai. Upstarts Jay Haas and Loren Roberts will more than likely continue their dominance over the rest of the not-so-flat-bellies on the Tour that lives on forever.
I know I’m […]

Revamp Hall of Fame Requirements?

I read an article that said David Toms is now eligible for the World Golf Hall of Fame. What? I have no doubt David Toms is a great guy (though a little whiny at times), but is he really Hall of Fame material? According to this, all you need is 10 […]

Belly Putters - Ban Them?

I was reading a few articles about Vijay Singh’s putting resurgence this year, and how it stems almost completely from using a belly putter. And it got me thinking about those that want to ban the use of it, and those that think it really isn’t making all that much difference in how someone […]

What Will Phil Do Next?

Phil Mickelson kicks off his 2007 debut this week at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in Palm Desert, California and everyone is wondering what the 2007 version of Phil will bring to the tour. I personally think he’s over the 2006 U.S. Open meltdown (though the media probably won’t let him forget) and he […]

Fujikawa Creates Buzz on the PGA Tour

Tadd Fujikawa was a breath of fresh air at the Sony Open this past weekend, and for more than one reason. First and foremost, he generated excitement because he played excellent golf all four days and a with a good break here or there, he might have been in the mix late on Sunday. […]

Goydos Wins Sony Open

Paul Goydos, a journeyman professional on the PGA Tour, came from nowhere to win the Sony Open in Hawaii. Let’s be clear and understand that Goydos didn’t back into this win. He made the pressure putts when he needed to, unlike Charles Howell III. I was pulling hard for Howell III, but […]

An Under-30 American in the Hunt!

Stranger things have happened, but an under-30 American player is leading the Sony Open in Hawaii after three rounds. Charles Howell III shot a brilliant round 65 and leads Luke Donald by one heading into the final round. I’ve watched Howell since he came out on tour a few years ago and this […]

Luke Donald - For Real?

Luke Donald holds the lead at the Sony Open, half-way through the 2nd round and to a lot of people, it’s where he should be, they say, given all his talent. There’s no doubt Donald is one of a dozen or so young (under 30) international players that are the real deal. Does […]

Will McKenzie’s 15 Minutes of Fame?

Will McKenzie burst onto the scene at the Mercedes Benz Championship last week with a breath of fresh air that the tour needed, and he’s continued that magical ride this week at the Sony Open in Honolulu. He definitely relates more to the surfer-dude types than the straight-laced PGA Tour types, but his play […]
