Denny won three Majors, the 1933 British Open and the […]

The next Tiger?
Golf, as any major sport, relies on it’s “superstars”, to create buzz. Herein lies the problem. Golf has the most recognized person in the world as it’s marquee player; Tiger Woods. Normally that would be a great thing for the game…unless…..that player is out of action, which of course has happened. Who might step forward […]

Two Champions
It was thrilling. Quite possibly the best theater in a Major Championship, in this century. The legend that is Tiger Woods, will be taken to a new level with this win. History tends not to remember the runner-up or the vanquished. Let’s hope that in this case, history will celebrate, Rocco Mediate. Rocco is a […]

Just when you thought
That you had seen it all: With 5 holes to play in the third round of the US Open, Tiger was 6 shots out of the lead. He was clearly bothered by his left knee and proceeded to hit his tee shot, right. Right of everything. The USGA sets up a course to have staggered […]

Questions that keep………
The Sunday Manifesto (random thoughts keep finding their way back): Why doesn’t Karrie Webb win every tournament she plays in? (in our humble opinion, she has the best golf swing, male or female). When will Justin Rose finally win a tour event in the US? Is there a streakier player than Kenny Perry? Is “streakier” […]
