Stewart Cink is such a nice guy, he doesn't earn the criticism of other infamous, choke-prone golfers do, like Greg Norman used to. Yet, there he was, choking yet again Sunday at the PODS Championship, blowing yet another third-round lead. Cink is… more »

I've often said that part of the problem of slow play is amateurs trying to copy the pros. I see it all the time. Guy putting for triple bogey circles his putt three times, studying it from every angle, then missing it by 10 feet. Then does the same t… more »

I knew this might be a different sort of Presidents Cup than some of the boring ones in the past, when Fred Couples and Greg Norman were named captains.Couples told the media he might name Michael Jordan and Robin Williams as additional staff members… more »

Lorena Ochoa is showing all the signs of grabbing the LPGA by the throat in the same way – well, almost – that Tiger Woods is crushing PGA Tour fields. Ochoa finished 20-under at the HSBC Women's Champion's tournament in Singapore Sunday, beating… more »

I was completely disgusted by the Congressional hearing involving Roger Clemens. It wasn't Clemens' testimony that disgusted me, although it's starting to look like the Rocket is a little looser with the truth than his slider. It was the way the R… more »

Tiger Woods' first golf course design is due to open in Dubai next year. It will not be open to the public. It will be open only to members and guests of an exclusive, 80-suite boutique hotel It's called Al Ruwaya and will be located in Dubailand, th… more »

Most people know Fidel Castro is a baseball fan and considers golf a sport of the upper crust, and therefore suspect. But, since his brother Raul has taken over, Cuba is showing a willingness to build golf courses, in order to help the country's ailin… more »

First of all, I like Nick Faldo and think he's doing a good job for The Golf Channel and CBS. All those critics who say he should tone down his irreverence are humor-less drones. His humor injects some much-needed irreverence in the game, which has very… more »

OK, so my prediction about how Tiger Woods would not win the Accenture Match Play championship was slightly off. It's early in the season and besides, I have a wrist injury; my predictions may never be the same. Nevertheless, I will forge ahead with a… more »

I've heard a lot of reasons why golf is in such decline in the U.S., with hundreds of course closings and literally millions of people giving up the game. Most of them are true to some extent – too expensive, too time-consuming, etc. -- and there's… more »

The season is barely underway and already Michelle Wie is making excuses. Wie, who had a season last year that could only be described as a travesty, said she will never be the same, physically, after her wrist injuries. "I just accepted the fact t… more »

If you ever grow weary of watching Tiger Woods' Complete and Total Dominion of the PGA Tour, switch that channel over to the pink station. There is actually some competition over here. First off, this could be the year of a gargantuan battle between L… more »

Yes, Tiger Woods has won this event twice, but he's also lost to the likes of Nick O'Hern, last year, and Peter O'Malley in 2002. I'm not sure how good a player Woods is in match play. He's obviously king of the universe in stroke play, but look at hi… more »

Golfers may dress blandly, like your high school class president, but they are always popular at countries trying to lure the kind of tourists who don't smoke dope, stay at hostels and buy the cheapest beer. Bulgaria – Bulgaria! – is the latest po… more »

I have to admit I'm a sucker for island golf courses. Even though I'm Florida born and bred, I've never spent much time in the Pensacola area. But, I've recently played a couple courses here that make me wonder what I've been missing. Tiger Point G… more »
