The Bell is Ringing
A triple bogey on the 15th hole on Sunday, while in the hunt to win a Major Championship, would derail most players. That same catastrophe would be reason enough for any 25 year old playing in their first Major Championship, to want to run away and hide. Not so, Keegan Bradley. At the Atlanta Athletic […]
Who’s Your Caddy?
Last month, Tiger Woods fired his long time caddy, Steve Williams. Theirs had been a partnership for 12 years during which time, Williams had “been on the bag” for 72 victories which included 13 Major Championships. They were close friends who both stood up for each other at their respective weddings. Williams was the last […]
#1
And you can be certain of one fact; that a new era has dawned in golf. Rory Mcllroy’s US Open performance became a virtuoso ascendance to the world’s greatest stage. It was not a victory because to be victorious you need opponents and for the last week; Rory has walked alone. You simply do not […]
Please HELP
We have been profoundly touched by the recent devastation and series of catastrophes in Japan. We have had many wonderful students over the years from Japan and have become friends with a great many of these wonderful people. Two of those very special people are Hiroko and Isamu. Hiroko’s daughter, Miki, works for the Senator […]
Boosh
On March 29, 2011, the world lost a very special human being. We had the great privilege of getting to know Jeff Boucher when he came for a school at Wild Horse Pass in January of 2009. Jeff graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 1979, with a degree in photography. He was an […]
Two Legends
The year of 1950 was a very special one in the history of Wake Forest University and golf. Two young men, who would go on to dazzle this world with their brilliance, grace and charisma would excel that year. Parallels in a universe connected in ways that we are not meant to understand but in […]
Rose Colored Glasses
Three weeks ago, Justin Rose had a breakthrough maiden victory at The Memorial tournament in Ohio. It was a breakthrough because at long last, the “can’t miss”, 29 year old Englishman, didn’t. Miss that is. Rose has been on golf’s stage for almost 12 years now since he dazzled everyone as a 17 year old […]
Who’s #1?
With her incredible 12 shot victory at the LPGA Championship yesterday, Cristie Kerr became the #1 ranked women’s golfer in the world. Kerr is the first American to be ranked #1 since those rankings began in 2006. With Kerr’s ascension to the top position, that will make her the third player in the last three […]
The Pebble Mystique
It is perhaps the most spectacular golf course in America and Golf’s most glorious union of Earth and Ocean anywhere in the world. This week, Pebble Beach plays host to the 2010 US Open Championship. It will be the fifth time in the storied history of Pebble Beach that it plays host to the USGA’s […]
“The Twenty Somethings”
2010 is turning into a great year for Golf. Young stars are emerging and established young stars are further cementing their place as players to be reckoned with at every event that they play in. Using your “crystal ball”, who in your opinion will have the most victories at the end of their career from […]
The Prodigies
On the same weekend, two extraordinary young professionals, on two different continents were making history. Northern Ireland’s, Rory McLlroy distanced himself from a star studded field at the Quail Hollow Championship to win by four shots. This is McLlroy’s first win on the PGA Tour and it will be the first of many. 20 year […]
The Ochoa Legacy
Lorena Ochoa’s retirement from competitive golf at the age of 28, has shocked the golf world. Lorena Ochoa is so completely different from today’s modern athlete. She is genuinely nice, rather than being nice to people that she needs to be nice to. Instead of saying the “right” things (see; politically correct) she actually lives […]
