Not so fast, Annika
Annika Sorenstam announced her retirement (at the end of this year) from competitive golf, yesterday. Kind of. She has left the door open for a “return” in a year or two. True to her meticulous nature, this has been something that she has been thinking about and planning for quite some time. Sorenstam has a […]

The Grown Up Garcia
On a course that often times rewards the best ball strikers; the world’s second best ball striker came through; finally. Sergio Garcia is the 2008 Players Champion and that ‘thud’ that you just heard is the sound of a very large monkey jumping off the brilliant Spaniard’s back. Garcia has been agonizingly close to wining […]

The Island Green
It plays 137 yards from the back tees and may well be the hardest hole in golf. But is it golf? The 17th. hole at the TPC Sawgrass is a great “spectator” hole; and think that “Nascar” (people who are always waiting to see a good wreck) fans embrace it because of all the things […]

Embracing Individuality: The Courage to Be Different and Stand Out Throughout the history of the game, all the greatest players have had “swing quirks” that might not be ordinarily taught.

The Masters- A Tale of Two Styles
As usual, The Masters, was gripping theater. It is golf’s center stage and as such can reveal so much about its participants. 2008 produced a very worthy winner in South African, Trevor Immelman. The 28 year old Immelman, who has carried that “can’t miss” tag for 10 years, may indeed be the young player that […]

Sunday at The Masters
Sunday at Augusta. The best day in tournament golf, of the year. This year should prove no exception. There are several reasons why The Masters is such thrilling theater. Most poignant, is that the players have to be so exact with their shots that on any given hole, they can make a birdie or a […]

The Golden Era Of Golf
We are in a magical era of Golf. Lorena Ochoa dominated the Kraft Nabisco Championship and won her second consecutive Major by 5 shots. One more win (which could come fittingly next week in her home country of Mexico) and she will be in the LPGA Golf Hall of Fame. Lorena is going to be […]

Streaks
It had to come to an end. All things do. There were “two streaks” that ended this week and both deserve our reverence. The first one, that you will immediately be aware of, is Tiger’s latest streak of winning 6 PGA Tour events, in a row. Tiger finished two strokes behind, Geoff Ogilvy at the […]

A new word; for Mr. Woods
Was there any doubt? Tiger, yesterday, on the 18th. hole at Bay Hill, was faced with a 28 foot put (which broke some four feet from left to right), to win the tournament. Tiger had not made a putt over 18 feet long, on any of the previous 71 holes he had played (in fact […]
