Mickelson, Wie Withdraw from Respective Events

Phil Mickelson and Michelle Wie withdrew from their respective events today due to injuries. Mickelson evidently injured his wrist while practicing at Oakmont last week, and then further aggravated the injury in today’s first round of the Memorial. It’s too bad because I think he was primed to win this week, in spite […]

Tiger vs. Phil This Week

Both Tiger and Phil are playing Jack’s tournament, The Memorial this week in Ohio, and it’s a good place to see how ready or not, Phil and Tiger are as they head into the final weeks before the U.S. Open. There’s no doubt that Tiger really likes this tournament, simply because of the […]

What If…

I was reading an article about the European Tour and its goal to become more “global” in order to compete against the PGA Tour, and I got to thinking. What if the European Tour was so bold as to schedule a European tournament (or World Golf tournament) in the United States, during a week […]

Who Said This?

“My goal next year is to probably get to No. 1.” - Rory Sabbatini, after winning the Colonial on Sunday. Okay, Sabbatini played very well on Sunday and took the tournament from Jim Furyk in the playoff, so kudos to Rory closing the deal. But becoming the number one player in the world […]

Romero Can’t Close

Eduardo Romero had the Senior PGA Championship is his grasp, but in the end, couldn’t close the deal and Denis Watson was the ultimate beneficiary. Romero, Nick Price, and Denis Watson, all hit less than stellar shots coming in, but Romero couldn’t make the clutch putts when he needed them.
Nick Price needs to get […]

Kiawah Stands Test of Time

The 2007 Senior PGA Championship is being played this year at Kiawah Island resort, location of the famed “War on the Shore” Ryder Cup matches of 1991. During those Ryder Cup matches, the course was the main attraction because it’s an extremely difficult course under the best of conditions. And it still plays […]

Hoping To Golf Tomorrow

Tomorrow I hope to hit a bucket of golf balls, for the first time since I was diagnosed with colon cancer, back in March. I’ve really missed playing golf this spring, but the side effects from the chemo and radiation have made life difficult at times. For those not aware, one of the […]

Paula Creamer Matures

Paula Creamer is learning early what Natalie Gulbis has yet to learn: you can’t spread yourself too thin with commitments, and still expect to contend each week on the LPGA. By her own standards, she didn’t have a good sophmore season in 2006 because she didn’t win. By anyone else’s standard she had […]

Gulbis Marketing Machine Marches On

In case you missed it, USA Today had full page spread (no pun intended) on Natalie Gulbis today that featured obligatory photos from interesting angles, and a minute-by-minute diary of her day. I’ve said all along that Gulbis has tons of potential, but for now, it’s all she has. This USA Today spread […]

Wie’s Coming Back

I thought maybe the layoff and wrist injury might force Michelle Wie to reconsider her attempt at playing the PGA Tour, but alas, she’s coming back for another try. Yup, she’s confirmed that she’ll be the sideshow at the John Deere Classic for the third consecutive year. So even when she was at […]
