I’m Not Going To Write About Tiger aka Where Have All The Good Guys Gone?

I am serious, I am not going to write about this Tiger Woods situation.  But the situation got me to thinking about role models and our sports “heroes”.   A group was discussing this situation that I am not going to write about and during the conversation someone made a comment to the effect “Where have [...]

Tiger Just Keeps On Rolling Through The Golf Record Books

So we all know how great a golfer Tiger is.  That is unquestioned.  Some might debate is he the greatest golfer of all time…at this point anyway.  But I was still blown away by his dominance that was demonstrated by some recent numbers that I saw written in a recent golf article.

Have The Idiots Taken Over On The Golf Tour?

What a shambles this past Sunday’s round ended up with the events that transpired on the 16th hole.  I mean where is common sense at in a situation like that?  If you for some reason you were under a roc and didn’t see or hear about it, an official put Padraig and Tiger on the [...]

Watson One Putt Short Of Making Golf History.

As I watched the finish of the British Open this afternoon, it was one of those competitions that happen once in a while where I personally didn’t want either golfer to lose.  You had Stewart Cink fighting to get close enough to win his first major.  And you had Tom Watson shooting to make history [...]

Is Tiger The Most Undervalued Golfer On The PGA Tour?

I was listening to ESPN talk radio yesterday and heard one of the talking heads bring up this subject.  I thought “Wait a minute, are you crazy?”.  But then I listened some more and realized what he was asking.  He wasn’t saying Tiger was underrated;  he was really asking this question  “Can the #1 player [...]

Golf As An Olympic Sport

I read recently where The International Golf Federation is petitioning the International Olympic Committee to have golf included in the Olympics for the 2016 games.

Tiger Woods: Too much coverage for golfers and golf fans?

There was the Tiger watch right before his comeback. Even during the time he was out, Tiger was still one of the most written about golfers. Is Tiger over exposed? Do other good young golfers get ignored because of the media’s frenzy over Tiger? What do golfers think about this?
