Tiger Who?
Mike Weir proved to the naysayers that he isn’t intimidated by the world’s #1 player as he defeated Tiger Woods 1 up in the single matches of the President’s cup this afternoon in Montreal.

The details of my second best career round, are actually more interesting than those of my career round (if any round-of-golf-details can be considered interesting :) ), proving that the score isn’t everything :)
After playing the same golf course (Markland Wood) literally hundreds of times over the five years […]

Man I hate, that phrase.
In the 2003 British Open Jesper Parnevik and Mark Roe were both disqualified after they forgot to switch scorecards at the beginning of the round, and therefore even though their scores were correctly recorded, because of the simple fact that their cards were labeled with each other’s name, they […]

And although I’m a golf nut, when these “cups” are played, I couldn’t care less, and […]

My best “rain golf story” :
One Saturday, many years ago, it was one of those days where it was pouring rain, then stopped for awhile.. started again .. etc.

Many years ago, I met a guy who would become one my golf buddies, (and to whom I would introduce his future wife, but that’s another story).
I met Bob at Westview golf club, during the “11:00 a.m.” club. So informally named for a bunch of guys who would regularly meet

Ok, not the most elegant topic.
I don’t spit in … public. Ever. Ok … except when brushing my teeth,… or maybe after having to vomit, both of which (usually) occur in private and in the bathroom ! But that’s usually not in public !
