Some people might think that Tiger Woods curling in another winning putt on the 72nd hole at Bay Hill is exciting. And it is, to an extent. But it’s not nearly as exciting as your boy Shanks here occupying first place in a fantasy league. Woo hoo!!!! T… more »

Listed by increasing level of stupidity, here are three LPGA rules currently in place.

The 2009 LPGA tournament schedule begins this Thursday in Hawaii amid what seems to be an unprecedented amount of fluctuation. The world financial situation has resulted in a shocking four tournaments being lopped off of the schedule from last year. One… more »

If you did not watch the golf tournament in Dubai, you missed one helluva coming out party. Nineteen year old Rory McIlroy took the measure of a very strong European Tour field and fulfilled enormous expectations by bringing home the chalice last Sunday.… more »

It’s official now. Colin Montgomerie will captain the Euro Ryder Cup ship next year at Celtic Manor in Wales. If anyone were to argue against the Scotsman Monty being Captain, that person would be an idiot. His qualifications are unquestionable. But it… more »

Happy New Year to everyone. Last night was one of my favorite events of the year: the annual golf fantasy league draft. Oh my, how this night illustrates that hope really does spring eternal. If you’re a golf nut like me and don’t participate in one… more »

The annual grind starts today, Tuesday 12/2/08. Imagine going on a job interview that lasts for 5+ hours every day for 6 straight days and where every single move you make is graded. I can only imagine how excruciating it must be. Some of the participant… more »

The permutations of what could be the final result of tomorrow play can boggle the mind. But one thing is fairly certain now. At least 5 players who were within the qualifying list coming into this final week have played their way out of exempt status.… more »

The star-studded leader board at the HSBC in China will get most of the attention this weekend, but my choice of events will be played in Texas and Florida. There is where golf both heroic and sadly disturbing will unfold as a couple dozen desperate men… more »

Thanks primarily to a honey-do list longer than my arm, I hung around the house all weekend soaking up a good deal of golf tournament coverage. I’m talented that way. The Senior Players Championship was broadcast on NBC and three tournaments were cover… more »

The European press has no shame. They had it out for Ryder Cup Captain Nick Faldo well before the matches ever started. Only a blitzkrieg win by the Euro side would have kept the hounds at bay. Maybe. These are the same rags that once dubbed Faldo, "El F… more »
