Every time Tiger plays the announcers simply have to come up with something. If he’s playing good, they’ll tell you why, and if he’s playing bad, they’ll tell you why. But how often do they actually get it right? Always seems that whenever Tiger is playing good they seem to think he’s not dipping as […]
Continue readingI thought it was quite interesting that Tiger Woods, former victim of “over-teaching” and the “cancer” that is “academic instruction” won the Memorial Tournament while “natural” swingers Bubba Watson and Rory McIlroy missed the cut and another “grip it and rip it” star Ricky Fowler shot 84 next to Tiger’s 67.

Tommy Bolt, the 1958 US Open champion, didn’t join the Tour until he was in his 30’s, after serving in the army in WWII. He won 15 times between 1951 and 1961, and was known as one of the best ball strikers in his era, along with Hogan, Snead, Palmer, Middlecoff and a few others. […]

Continue reading8 fairways, 11 greens, 35 putts: it adds up to 79. Lots of good players struggled today as the wind whipped up progressively as the day went on. My playing partners (Jay Don Blake and Kirk Hanefeld) were both at par or better on our first nine (the back), and Jay came in at even […]
Continue readingI have played in 9 major championships now and I have always enjoyed the practice rounds more than anything. It is so educational to play with great players who are preparing for an event that would be huge for anyone to win. It is also a great measuring tool, as I get to see how […]

Continue readingIt was a long day and I got off to a rough start, but it all worked out (except for the mashed rental car and the lost credit card) and I’m good to go for the tournament. I began to have this sick feeling that I wouldn’t get in, even though I was down to […]
