The 00’s have officially passed us by and with it goes one of the most memorable decades in major championship golf history.

What Golf Needs in 2010…

I’ve refrained from writing about Tiger Woods over the last month for a couple reasons. First, I’m genuinely disappointed with the whole mess and don’t feel ready to share my thoughts until I can see it less emotionally. And second, I don’t think anyone really knows the true story…and won’t until either Tiger or Elin […]

The Hollywood Foreign Press announced their nominations for the Golden Globe Awards this week and the Academy of Arts and Sciences will be doing the same in a month or so. And while December is a hot month for movies, it is a decidedly slow one for golf. That being said it’s a great opportunity […]

Golf: Going For Gold In 2016

Tiger Woods has just about done it all in the game of golf: 14 major championships, 69 career wins on tour, a record stay at world number one, NCAA, U.S Amateur and Junior titles, Fed-Ex, Ryder, and Presidents Cups. There’s not much else to conquer really. Over the weekend at the Buick Open Sir Nick […]

Top 10 Report Cards

In my (admittedly) lackluster academic career through high school and university I always hated mid-terms. The end of year pressure I could deal with. I expected it. It was supposed to be there. It was the mid-year exams, those that seemed to creep up without warning right as you were getting comfortable that I hated. […]

For A Full Shoulder Turn, Try Turning In…

Let’s face it. Not everyone has the flexibility and/or strength to make a full shoulder turn behind the golf ball. Making a good turn is essential in trying to build a powerful golf swing. But, if you’re like me, you always found it difficult to wind up  your upper body like a corkscrew in an […]

Where (Double) Eagles Dare

Ponder this, if you would, dear golf fan. How many double eagles (albatrosses for those outside the U.S) have you seen with your very own eyes? Chances are none. I’ve been playing with some of the best amateurs and professionals around the world for the last ten years and I have yet to see one […]

Woods aims to recapture Memorial

Last year, Tiger Woods was reduced to watching the Memorial Tournament on television after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee. The three-time Memorial champion had gone under the knife soon after the Masters and, without any real tune-ups, went on to win the US Open last year. That victory at Torrey Pines was costly, though, […]

Nicklaus tips Woods to break major record

Most things in life are relative, even Tiger Woods. Take, for example, the voices of some sections of the golf gallery who believe Woods’ best days are behind him given his knee surgery last year and the fact that he has gone three tournaments on the US PGA Tour without victory, including the US Masters.

Masters To Remember, But For The Wrong Reason

Angel Cabrera won his second professional major Sunday afternoon at Augusta National Golf Club. Cabrera has now won the Masters and the U.S. Open. For someone from South America, you can’t pick two tournaments you would rather win than those two. No disrespect to the Open Championship and the U.S. PGA Championship, but the U.S. […]

Cabrera erases painful Masters memories for Argentina

The last time an Argentinean was in contention to win the US Masters, a sporting error of major proportions denied the South American country Augusta glory. It was 1968 and Roberto De Vicenzo was supposed to go into a play-off with American Bob Goalby. However, he submitted an incorrect scorecard – a huge faux pas […]

Kim left to provide midway Masters magic

Being half a day ahead of Augusta, Georgia in terms of time, it means TV-lag easily sets in when watching the US Masters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There are few people in the global TV audience who hadn’t settled in front of the box or flat screen earlier this week and not anticipated Tiger Woods’ […]

Repaired Woods looking forward to Masters

Tiger Woods’ victory in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill last month was his way of telling the world that it is possible to recover from ligament surgery and come back better than ever. The world number one, as if telling those who remain unconvinced, reiterated that message this week in the lead-up to […]
