Tiger is Tiger Again

All is right with the golfing world this morning. It is once again spinning on its proper axis. With another impressive win at the British Open on Sunday, Tiger Woods is Tiger again: dominating the field and chasing Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major wins. The golfing world was without its biggest star and most [...]

Go Ernie, Go

If it was Good Morning, Tiger at the British Open then it was Good Afternoon, Ernie: Ernie Els, a three-time major winner who took the claret jug in 2002, didn’t fade away in the afternoon, even with the winds off the Irish Sea kicking up just a bit. The Big Easy matched Woods with a [...]

Go Tiger, Go!

Tiger struggles; Monty and Lefty survive

Well, the US Open is living up to its reputation again. Deep rough and difficult greens means it is hard to go low. A look at the first round Leaderboard reflects that as only one player, Colin Montgomery, is under par and that by just one stroke. Tiger Woods, making his return to the tour [...]

Tiger to Skip Memorial

I bought some tickets to the Memorial Tournament on Ebay this week as a Birthday present to myself. So I was disappointed to learn that Tiger Woods won’t be playing. I am not about to hold it against Tiger, he can take as much time as he wants to come to terms with the death [...]

Lefty Makes It Look Easy

On a day when there was some serious fire power lurking around the leaderboard, Phil Mickelson made it look awfully easy, winning the Masters and his second green jacket with a final round 69. Due to a long rain delay on Saturday, Mickelson had to play 13 holes Sunday morning to complete his third round. [...]
