Check out this great video I found on YouTube of Tiger Woods in a relaxed mood playing for fun and challenging unsuspecting golfers to a nearest the pin competition - winner takes home a Buick Rainier!
It seems so real but then one of the ‘camera’ men runs right through the screen and the golfers at […]
There is something magical about the circus coming to town!
No I’m not talking about the Big Top and CoCo The Clown, but instead the LPGA, Ladies European Tour and The Ladies Golf Union.
Whilst 27 Open Championships have be held at St Andrews, this will be the very first time a Women’s British Open has been […]
This afternoon I shot into St Andrews to shoot a short video of the preparations for the Ricoh Women’s British Open At The Old Course, St Andrews. As you can see, whilst grandstands and the tented village are being erected plays continue as normal in the glorious Scottish sunshine!

The Rusacks Hotel - Their restaurant has fantastic views over the legendary 18th green of the Old Course. They […]
A golf trip to the British Isles can be something of a puzzle. Which courses accept visitor play and when? What options are available for playing the Old Course? Where should you stay? What can you do when you’re not playing? How much will it cost?
Thus if you are serious […]

Sadly the great British sports journalist Ian Wooldridge OBE has died at the age of 75, after a long illness.

Following my blog on the fact Sky Sports have lost the USPGA Tour to the new Setanta Golf Channel I thought it would be useful to comment on Sky’s new offering. In place of their two previous golf programmes, one exclusively for the European Tour and the other for the USPGA, comes a new one […]
