Last Chance For Masters Run

This week’s CA Championship at Doral is the last chance for those outside the top 10 on the money list to make a run and try to qualify for the Masters in Augusta. Those on the outside looking in are Paul Goydos (12), Charlie Hoffman (13), Jeffy Quinney (14), and Heath Slocum (15). […]

Boo Weekley - A Penalty Gone Too Far?

Did you hear the one about Boo Weekley last week? I’ve said before that professional golfers are literally heads and shoulders above other professional athletes when it comes to character on the golf course. At the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week, Weekly suffered a two-shot penalty while performing a sportsman-like act on the […]

Singh Dominates Bay Hill

Vijay Singh shot a steady 3-under 67 to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill by two shots over Rocco Mediate. This course must be much tougher than it looks as even Singh had trouble on the closing holes, making bogey on 16 and 17 and struggling to make par on 18. […]

Train Wreck At Bay Hill

Today’s third-round action at the Arnold Palmer Invitational was one of the worst train wrecks I’ve seen in a professional golf tournament in a long time. Rocco Mediate shot a 6-over 76 to fall to 3-under for the tournament, and the other second-round leader, Paul Casey show a 3-over 73 to also fall […]

Your Low Point In Golf

Have you ever reached your lowest point in golf, wondering what kind of swing will show up on the next tee box? I’ve reached that point for me personally. Actually, it came last fall while playing with our regular threesome, my brother Gary and, and our buddy Perry. It actually had been […]

Would YOU Caddy On Tour?

I got to thinking today about the life of a professional caddy on tour. Caddying on tour has changed dramatically in the last 10 years, and it’s not a bad way to make a living if you can loop for a top-125 player. Reportedly, caddies make 5% of the pro’s check if he […]

Big Break VII - Drama Continues

The latest episode of the Big Break VII was not the most exciting hour of television I’ve seen, but it is golf, and I will be watching. Two more contestants were shown the door, and this time it was Edoardo Gardino and Valeria Ochoa who couldn’t survive the elimination round. Ocho looked like […]

Annika Lost - Does It Mean Anything?

So the reigning queen of the LPGA, Annika Sorenstam, lost a 4-hole playoff that smart money said she should have won very easily. Well, it’s not 1995 anymore and somewhat like the PGA Tour, these young ladies just don’t quake in their shoes as they might have a generation ago when playing the number […]

Professional Golfers Make Mistakes Too

Okay, I don’t quite understand all the hoopla and hand-wringing going on with Arjun Atwal’s alleged street racing accident in Orlando, Florida. For those that don’t know, Atwal is alleged to have participated in a street race with John Noah Park where speeds exceeded 100MPH and ultimately cost Park his life when he hit […]

A Good Guy Wins

Mark Calcavecchia won the PODS Championship today when Heath Slocum missed a 4-foot par putt that would have sent the pair into a playoff. While this win raises Calcavecchia’s win total to only 13, he really is one of the good guys on tour and has a reputation for wearing his emotions on his […]
