Bandon ruined me. I'll come clean. When my wife mentioned a sweet trip to commemorate my 40th in 2005, I didn't think twice. Monterrey, Orlando, Michigan, New Mexico all took a back seat to the southern coast of Oregon. Then, the event surpassed the… more »

The law firm of Creamer, Pressel and Wie has officially opened its doors, with the majority of its clientele figuring in the LPGA Tour, with occasional forays into PGA events. The three principals, while each saddeled with the ego of the world-class com… more »

So this guy, Wolfrum, claims that a Euro player will win a major in 2006. Only trouble is, he fails to name names, make predictions, etcetera. OK, here is my prediction: a two-legged homo sapien will win a major in 2006, and he will be of anglo, latin… more »

Oh my god. I made the list. I am no longer relegated to the third string. I am above Jennifer Mario. I can see Baldwin's bottom, and it's within reach. Christenson, Wolfrum, Shanks, Daily, watch out ... I'm shooting for Balls Out!
Yes, it's true.… more »

Tis the season to be jolly ... if your name is John B. Holmes, Alex Cejka, Nicholas Thompson, D.A. Points, Tom Byrum, Nick Watney, Daisuke Maruyama, Michael Allen, Hunter Mahan, Will MacKenzie, Robert Garrigus, Marco Dawson, John Engler, Jeff Overton, He… more »

Think that a few guys between seven and seventeen under aren't sleeping well tonight? Me too. The way I see it, -14 will be the magic number for top 30 and full playing privileges on the PGA Tour in 2006. Exactly 30 guys are at -11 after five rounds,… more »

Six guys at -7 or better. A dozen more at -5. That's what I call a moving day. If you shoot even par today, you might drop from first to fifth, like Michael Allen has so far, or from T2 to T13, as is the case with Danny Ellis. The volcanic Ryan Hieta… more »

Ryan Hietala showed his mettle on Friday by reversing the riptide that pulled him out to sea. The stretch of holes that punished him in eight strokes over par on Thursday, found him four under on Friday, on the way to a 66. Moving from t2 to t73 to t19… more »

The typical press release that comes across the wire extends to club debuts, consumer reactions, and player victories. So it was with special attention that I opened a release on November 22nd whose subject read: Major Crackdown on Counterfeit Golf Pro… more »

Ryan Hietala ... looks like a cool dude. Blond hair, short and spiked, little bit of facial hair ... Shot six-under the first day at Q-School, eagled his first hole of day two, stood 8-under with 69 holes to play, then the meltdown began... bogey-bogey-… more »

Here is my rant for Saturday, as television coverage for the Skins Game is going to get underway on the East coast. All that schmoozing and joking on the first eight holes is cute the first time, redundant and falacious each subsequent instance. Here's… more »

It figures that the first year I don't sweat out the qualifying scores of the Champs Tour, the craziest things happen. To begin, check out the list of world players trying to qualify for one of seven spots: Kuramoto and Ozaki from Japan, Romero and Car… more »

Reading one of the trades this weekend, I came across an interesting nugget of information. 31 players from a variety of countries rejected invitations to represent their countries in the World Cup. The major players in this mass exodus are:

On a day when no one approached his first-round 66, Lonnie Nielsen showed that he might be poised to step up a level on the Champions Tour. After an opening-round 66, the question mark was preceded by the thought: can he hold up? After three consecuti… more »

I think that Peter Uihlein, recently-crowned AJGA player of the year, must be related to Titleist boss Wally Uihlein. The last name kind of gives it away. Does Peter play Nike or Taylor-Made equipment? Ping?
I think that geometry somehow could ha… more »
