It is Sunday, wine in hand and we have a choice? PGA at Memphis. Seniors in Philadelphia, Web.com. or LPGA. Normally there would not be a decision to be made. I would settle in for the finish of the St Jude Classic, albeit my least favorite golfer in Phil, was in contention. No. I… Continue reading Woman’s Golf FANTASTIC !!!!
Expectation
The eyes of the golfing world are looking now to Oakmont and the US Open. What have we learned over the last few weeks? The depth of talent on the PGA Tour is considerable. When a top player hits form it does not seem to be sustained for long periods. Of the so called Big… Continue reading Expectation
Sad Weekend for US Golf
It is beginning to be a somewhat tired story. We are not seeing many American golfers step up to the plate and stop this winning invasion from overseas golfers. Is the PGA Tour transitioning into the LPGA Tour, where a win by an American is like gold dust? For the strength of the tour and… Continue reading Sad Weekend for US Golf
Ladies Golf
I have had the opportunity to watch some of the recent LPGA golf on television. There is no question that there are players with significant skill currently on show. My concern, at least for the growth of the game in the USA, is the lack of American stars. With the exception of Lexi Thompson, most… Continue reading Ladies Golf
The Masters 2016
I would imagine that emotions were very mixed, post the events of Sunday afternoon. The press has placed many views and perspective on what unfolded. I would say that Jordan showed enormous class and maturity, post round, as he dealt with the media, his duties, shrouded by the manner of his loss. He is twenty… Continue reading The Masters 2016
Austin is Weird but Wonderful
The WGC visited Austin Country Club, for the first time, under the sponsorship of Dell and what a success it was. This Pete Dye course, recently remodeled was just a great match play course. Short par fours, that gave the players nightmares, to threes that were of reasonable length for the average player but short… Continue reading Austin is Weird but Wonderful
Day Out of Hibernation
The great and the good, with some exceptions, gathered at Arnie’s place for the annual invitational. Bay Hill was looking and playing great having been newly seeded since last year’s event. Jason Day won by a shot, not having his A game. The par save at the last from the back bunker was real class.… Continue reading Day Out of Hibernation
Beards and Things
I am sure that a family of rare birds lives within the facial hair of Mr Delaet. Beards have become more common on the PGA Tour, not just in November, but all year. Gillette must be aghast at why many of today’s players turn up with designer stubble. Old school Nigel, likes clean shaven and… Continue reading Beards and Things
‘The Scot on Scott” and other things.
Adam has two doubles on the front nine and still comes back to win the WGC at Doral . A second and two wins in a row, for a man discounted because of the anchoring ban. This was an impressive victory, even accounting for Rory having a pretty poor day. Only one birdie at the… Continue reading ‘The Scot on Scott” and other things.
The Bear Trap
This name linked to 15/16 and 17th holes at the PGA National, stems from designer Jack Nicklaus. It provided some fun over last week’s Honda Classic. Only three other golfers have ever won a PGA tournament having had a quadruple bogey. Adam Scott joins that elite group. His performance tee to green was mostly peerless;… Continue reading The Bear Trap
