Don’t know if Spencer Hux will watch the Nissan Open but I’m sure most real golf fans will tune in, that is, if they can’t get there in person. SHux wrote an article last week whining about how boring golf is without Tiger Woods in the field. The o… more »

It's the game, Spence, not the players. Yes, Tiger Woods is the best golfer alive, at present, and likely the best we’ll ever see play the game. But that doesn't mean tournaments are boring when he's not around. Far from it. In fact, it could be argued… more »

Ernie Els has publicly stated that he is on a three year plan to reach the number one world ranking of golf. Finally his health – both physical & mental – is excellent. But even if he gets his game in better shape then ever, there will still be o… more »

It almost pains me to write this because no fan of Hale Irwin am I. He’s got one of those personalities that only a mother could love. But it’s that very same mental and emotional make-up strikes fear in hearts of most every golfer on the Senior …… more »

The question Phil Mickelson will try to answer on the course as soon as possible is whether or not he has recovered from the 72nd hole collapse in the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. One thing he is not doing – like Greg Norman always has done – is tr… more »

Only golf can produce a story so ridiculous that fiction writers would call it too unbelievable to put on paper. How in the world can a youngster – extremely small in stature at 5’1” & barely 16 years old – challenge a collection of some of t… more »

30 wins. 3 major championships. No. 1 player in the world DURING the Tiger Woods era. Member of the Golf Hall of Fame. Vijay Singh gets a bad rap, I think, because he is not a politician. He is blunt and honest to a fault. And the world is not read… more »

Like most Americans, I admit to mixed feelings about the late President Ford. Not exactly armed with what you'd call a vibrant personality, he seemed to be a solid and decent First Citizen. As he inherited the mother of all horrible political situations… more »

A recent article on the Sports Illustrated website tagged the U.S. Open as the best tournament of 2006 and the Open Championship second, while the Kraft Nabisco Championship came in third. What I want to know is this: What kind of drugs are they smokin'… more »

Let me preface this article with an old joke. A police officer in a patrol car signals a speeding car to pull over to the side of the road. There are two young males in the front seat. When the officer walks up to the car, the driver rolls down his wi… more »

Clearly, Lorena Ochoa is destined for greatness. Having just turned 25 this week, she had a magnificent 2006 season, earning the most money and victories (6) on the LPGA Tour. She was also its most consistent performer; notching twelve other top 5’s an… more »

Who said there's no such thing as miracles? Just a few months ago PGA of America President Roger Warren was staunchly defending that lame Ryder Cup selection system which only awarded performance points for top ten finishes. Then they asked the wonderful… more »

Seriously, do you think there was any chance that Phil Mickelson would have contended at last weeks’ Tour Championship? He hasn’t been playing to anywhere near his normal standard for months now. Besides, he should be lauded for putting family life a… more »

No sport quite matches up to golf when it comes to watching players perform under pressure. The Ryder Cup was great theater, regardless of the outcome, on many levels. The Frys.com Open this weekend in Las Vegas is another prime example, as much is going… more »

It's all spilt milk now but since we have properly praised the European Ryder Cup team for their magnificent performance and pointed out the weakest performers from the US team, let's look at what would, could or should be done to enhance US chances in t… more »
