Dear Lord, I would really like for there to be peace in the world, if it be your will. Really. But what I would like to happen as soon as possible after that is for gambling on golf to be allowed where I live, just like they do in the UK. Amen. One… more »

The very popular Natalie Gulbis felt the agonizing sting of a defeat wrenched from likely victory at the Jamie Farr Classic. It is impossible to fault someone who, when starting Sunday in a tie for the lead, shoots a bogey-free, 6-under-par 65 which tied… more »

If all we ever wanted to know was who has played consistently well for the past two years, the Rolex World Rankings for Women would do nicely. But, guess what? That’s not what we want to know. What we want to know is how players are performing relative… more »

The PGA Tour & its Commissioner Tim Finchem have no conscience and should be ashamed of themselves. Never will they be able to justify what they have done to the loyal golf fans living in and around Washington, DC. Let’s start with a little hist… more »

The finish of the 2006 US Open was unbelievably painful to watch, showing that choking comes in many forms. Perhaps that is the ultimate reason that this bubbling cauldron of nerves has so much appeal. Jim Furyk has finally gone over the edge with tha… more »

Okay, I've seen enough. No one on the LPGA Tour consistently strikes the ball better than Michelle Wie does. It is just a matter of time before she puts it all together with her short game and blows away the field in an LPGA event. As it happens, because… more »

Ok, for all the Michelle Wie fans who aren't getting enough from tv coverage on ESPN and The Golf Channel, here are few internet addresses to track her progress hole-by-hole: The Golf Channel or Sports Illustrated For what it's worth, I'd pu… more »

The Good I refer to does NOT involve Clint Eastwood - no, no, no. The Good is the resurgence of Karrie Webb to her current Hall of Fame level of play over the past month. The Good is the emergence of all the young guns like Paula Creamer, Lorena Ochoa, N… more »

Annika Sorenstam gave hope to the rest of the LPGA by not doing her usual Sunday Terminator performance two weeks ago in Georgia. Don’t you think that all of the LPGA Tour isn’t watching her every tournament for some signs of slipping. The much-hera… more »

Thank God that Larry Nelson has finally been elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame. Although he would never come right out and say it, he must feel like the PGA of America has slapped him in the face every two years by never naming him captain of a U.S.… more »
