Lorena Ochoa had a mini-meltdown today on the 17th hole of the Nabiso Championship and ended up with a quadruple bogey on the hole, and she’s now 5 shots back of the leader, Se Ri Pak. Ochoa hit a loose tee shot on the 17th tee and ended up in some very tall grass […]

I know I’ve said that Annika Sorenstam still has the drive, motivation, and game to be the best in the world for another couple of years for sure. But from reading Annika’s comments lately about her excitement about life after golf (and specifically about her golf academy), I’m becoming less convinced. And that’s […]

I think there’s too much being made about Sergio Garcia spitting in the cup after his retrieving his ball in last week’s CA Championship at Doral. Yes, it was “conduct unbecoming” for sure, but everyone once in a while it’s good see a professional golfer lose his cool, and I don’t think it’s […]

Oddly, there were plenty of “experts” who weren’t convinced Lorena Ochoa would be a factor in last week’s Safeway International in Arizona. Well, look again because Ochoa continues to prove her naysayers wrong, and this time she did it in fashion when she birdied 4 of the last 5 holes to win by […]

It wasn’t the most convincing win of Tiger’s career, that’s for sure, but he was the last man standing at the WGC - CA Championship at Doral. And you have to give a lot of credit to Brett Wetterich for hanging tough with Woods the entire back nine. Woods reminded me today of […]

Watching Tiger play has always been exciting because you never really know how he’s going to perform. When he’s on like he was at the Open Championship last year, then it’s like watching a surgeon perform; very calculating and awesome. Other times, he’s one bad swing away from a train wreck (last week’s […]

Was watching the CA Championship on the Golf Channel this evening and I was just wondering if the famed “Blue Monster” is actually a tough enough course for these guys. Yes, 18 can be a tough hole, especially on Sunday coming in, but in general it’s a flat course and though it has lots […]

The LPGA released its list of banned substances today that it will begin testing for in 2008. The list includes beta-blockers, anabolic steroids, stimulants, and other items not yet identified. I’m still not convinced (though I could be wrong) that even if golfers (male or female) were taking any type of performance-enhancing drugs, […]

Okay, I’m just kidding about the title of this musing. Or am I? Okay, I am. But, is it me, or am I the only one on this planet that doesn’t understand the love fest between Woods and Federer? I think it’s great that Tiger respects Federer for his accomplishments on […]
