U.S. Open & Golf courses for women (The Golf Chick). Golf For Women magazine lists its top 50 courses, and the Golf Chick is there to read and critique.

It was amazing just how far and accurately […]

According to a recent AP article, testing for performance-enhancing drugs could happen depending on what the PGA decides to do. Quoth Champions Tour President Rick George:
We’ll adopt whatever policies the PGA Tour does. I certainly don’t (think it’s a problem). But I think if the tour adopts a policy, it’s important that the Champions Tour […]

When Frank Nobilo did his piece on the Golf Channel after the U.S. Open on Sunday, it got me thinking about ways the broadcast giants could improve golf telecasts. The first thing that came to mind was a cap-cam that a player would wear. First off, it’s understandable that most players would never wear something […]

The Golf Channel’s “Live From” crew did an excellent job at this year’s U.S. Open. After the final round completed, Frank Nobilo went out and demonstrated the two shots Furyk and Woods had, and how difficult they really were. Most impressive was how deep the bunker was for Tiger’s shot, and the fact that he […]

Congrats to Tiger and Elin Woods on the birth of thier first child. Sam Alexis Woods was born early Monday morning, hours after he completed the final round of the U.S. Open. I wonder what would have happned if Tiger and Cabrera had finished tied, because the USGA requires a Monday playoff for […]

Players from America fared very well in this year’s U.S. Open and that’s a pleasant suprise for a change, as they claimed 10 of the top 20 finishing spots on the leaderboard. Bubba Watson was the only real “young gun” on the list, but he needs to feel very proud of how he […]

I didn’t given Angel Cabrera enough props yesterday, and he fully deserved more than he got. I’ve been watching a replay of the final round and Cabrera played some fantastic golf, under intense pressure. Does this win make him a top-tier player? Hardly, but it may give him the confidence to win […]

Well, Tiger is 0-fer when he enters the final round of a major, trailing the leader. For all the great shots he hit yesterday, the opposite happened today, and he looked dazed and confused. Even more frustrating for Woods I’m sure is that this tournament was there for the taking; all he had […]

This is the U.S. Open,not the B.C.Open (with all due respect). The USGA, in my opinion, dumbed down the greens for Saturday’s third round, and let a whole bunch of guys in the tournament that really shouldn’t be there. There’s no doubt they buckled under the pressure to not duplicate the Shinnecock debacle. […]
