As I ponder the frightening thought of Donald Trump somehow becoming the leader of the most powerful country on the planet, I’m reminded of a quote from the character Tom Dobbs, played by Robin Williams in the 2006 comedy, Man of the Year.

As if Martin Dempster’s needless article defending Westwood’s return to the top spot wasn’t enough, now we have Colin “rabbit ears” Montgomerie joining the fray. “What are they really complaining about?” said Montgomerie. “Is it the fact that they are not getting as many points for their events and we are? Well, the domination was [...]

I want you to watch THIS RECENT SWING from Tiger very closely. Notice the awkward stance, and the enormous amount of pressure that he puts on both knees as he tries to extricate himself from the pine straw under the Eisenhower tree at the Masters two weeks ago. This was on Saturday. On Sunday, nothing [...]

Unless something changes drastically and very soon, this week will mark the end of a 41-yr tradition at Hilton Head Island, SC.

Just some miscellaneous quotes from the USA Today article highlighted below. “They just decided to take a break for awhile,” David Winkle of Hambric Sports Management said in an email. “This isn’t about finding a replacement as quickly as possible,” Winkle said. “It’s about finding the right person.” “There’s no bad blood between him and [...]

It’s not that often that a seasoned caddie gets mentioned in a player’s credits after a tournament win, but there’s no denying the value of a seasoned perspective from someone who has a vested interest in his player’s success. Especially coming down the stretch on Sunday, with his player in control of the tournament with [...]

Aah… you just gotta love everything about the Masters. They don’t give a flying rat fart where you came from, what your background might be, who your daddy or mommy might be, your past accomplishments, or any of that jazz. I remember reading years ago about a long-haired player (who is now probably Champions Tour [...]
