Back in January, with the season just underway, I made a list of the Top 30 players under 30 years old. With all the talk this week on CBS about the players in their 20’s seeing such great success this year, I thought I’d call attention to my list again. This will always have to be [...]

This week brings us to the first of two weeks in the Dallas Ft Worth area that the players actually love to play. One airport, one courtesy car, two prestigious tournaments. As for the Byron Nelson, I hope that playing the course twice recently will give me an advantage. I face a nice hurdle to [...]

Now that fellow vertically challenged golfer Tim Clark (I can say this because both Tim and I top out at 5′7″) finally has his first PGA Tour victory, it creates another question.

Minus a very controversial call yesterday laying [...]

There aren’t many tournaments on Tour outside of the Majors that draw such buzz and excitement that this past week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open did. Sure we’ve all known about the famous 16th hole and it’s “Coliseum” analogies. Filled with over 30,000 rawdy, Happy Gilmore-like fans, it can either be a player’s nighmare or a [...]

While following the Farmers Insurance Open this past week and weekend I couldn’t help but notice a few things I felt the need to point out below.
Contrary to popular belief (via Twitter), Ryuji Imada is NOT Ryo Ishikawa. I know they are both Japanese and all, but they are not the same guy.
John Daly is [...]

I couldn’t help but notice watching some of the coverage yesterday on the Golf Channel that Rickie Fowler got an awful lot of air time. Normally this would not be anything to write home about, but the fact that Rickie didn’t have a prayer of making the cut, and ended up +6 is what’s disturbing. [...]
