Coming Up Roses
They said that Merion was past its time as a Major Championship venue. They said that the modern day player would be playing pitch and putt on the venerable old lady that has been host to 18 USGA Championships which is more than any other course in the country. They predicted that all manner of […]

The Front 9-Edition 2
1. Despite a disastrous quadruple bogey 7 on the par 3 11th hole in Saturday’s third round of the St. Jude Classic, PGA Tour rookie, Shawn Stefani, birdied 4 of his last 5 holes to shoot a 66 and lead the tournament. Very few players can recover from a setback like that and to do […]

“I’ll Play My Way In”
After the first two rounds of the weather delayed Wegmans LPGA Championship, 49 year old Laura Davies, is tied for 14th place six shots behind leader, Morgan Pressel. A long-shot at best to win the season’s second Major Championship, it would none the less be the perfect twilight ending for the most distinguished lady from […]

The Back 9-Edition 2
1. Tiger Woods barely made the cut at The Memorial (an event he has won 5 times) and then started his third round on the back 9. Woods shot his highest ever 9 hole score in competition; a 44. Perhaps his “new swing” is not quite finished yet. 2. Michelle Wie-remember her? Wie was actually […]

The Front 9
Boo hoo. Boo Weekley won the PGA Tour’s Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial yesterday to register his third career win and first since 2008. The absolute best ‘quote’ on the PGA Tour, who will always tell you exactly what is on his mind, Weekley’s welcome return to the winners circle is a blessing for golf […]

The 78th
Tiger Woods won his 78th career PGA Tour event at the Player’s Championship today. It was his second win at the PGA Tour’s marquee event and his fourth win of the season. Woods has never won four times this quickly in a season, so it is reasonable to assume that he is back to his […]

The Back 9
Today we are introducing two new regular columns, the first of which is called “Front 9”. It will have a half-brother called “Back 9”. Each column will appear regularly and the topics will be varied with random thoughts on the game. The “Front 9” will always have at least 5 (see; majority) positive happenings in […]

Billy. Billy, Billy
For the last month on the PGA Tour, the Tour’s hottest player has been a player who has never won. Until now. 27 year old Floridian, Billy Horschel, birdied the final hole of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans to claim his first victory in the most dramatic of fashions. Horschel started the last round […]

Eyes Wide Shut
Yesterday at the LPGA Lotte Championship at Ko Olina in Hawaii, Norway’s superstar, Suzann Pettersen, won her 11th LPGA Tour event. After building an early 3 shot lead, it became anything but an easy victory for the statuesque Norwegian. Pettersen began the day as the third round leader at 14-under par. Despite hitting her tee […]

Good On Ya Mate
There are some things that mean so much more, than just winning. Incredibly, despite the glorious history of Australian golf and its litany of Major Championship winners, no Australian has ever won The Masters. That lineage of the game’s great Australian players that traces back to Norman Von Nida, Jim Ferrier, Peter Thompson, Kel Nagle, […]

2 Rules Don’t Make A Right
Friday’s second round at the Masters produced two separate Rulings that were staggering in both their implementation and their circumstance. 14 year old Tianlang Guan was assessed a 1 shot penalty for slow play as he finished the 17th hole. This is how the Rule reads in the USGA Rules of Golf: “6-7. Undue Delay; […]
