When I was growing up in Ontario, Canada my brother and father played golf a lot. In fact, they played so much my brother ended up a scratch golfer and my dad was pretty close to a single digit handicapper. I remember asking my dad if I could play with them and I got “the look”. In my generation, golf …

Monty Monty Monty…For an “old man”, you sure do act like a big baby sometimes. How many feet can you put into your mouth at the same time? More than most, that’s for sure! I probably blog more about Colin Montgomery’s tantrums than I do about any other golfer’s quirks. But that’s because he’s such a great target. They say …

It was a sad day today to learn that GFW magazine will no longer exist after the July/Aug issue. Look! The news even had Tiger in tears. Just when I thought that women’s golf was on its way up, this happens and it makes me realize that we have a long way to go baby! I hope that the publishers …

I was recently accused on a golf forum of regurgitating already written stories in the news. Guilty as charged. But hey…that’s my shtick. I like presenting articles I read that I think are interesting and stories I think others might never get the chance to read. And then I add my 2 cents to it. So…yup…I’m a regurgitating blogger 🙂 …

There’s little doubt that Michelle Wie has a ton of talent. And there’s little doubt that someday she will/could win the US Open (the Ladies that is :)). And of course, we all agree, that if you don’t believe you can win, you never will. But come on people! This is not Munich – this is not a qualifying round …

Hey everyone If you’ve been watching The Big Break Ka’anapali, you’ll already know that golf etiquette (or lack thereof) has fueled controversy and conflict with the contestants and has brought many golf forum participants to the boiling point over the past few weeks. Well, I just read in The Irish Times – Sports Saturday newspaper this weekend that Pádraig Harrington …

– the man who faced fear straight on and took the Golf Digest Challenge at Torrey Pines this weekend, playing one round at Torrey Pines in the exact conditions that the pros play at the US Open. Remember last year, Tiger Woods said that a 10-handicap player couldn’t possibly break 100 on the US Open setup – no way. Well, …

Not sure how I missed this story earlier this week, but it really doesn’t surprise me too much. Vijay has gotten himself into media trouble before. He sure isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, is he? And obviously he’s been thinking that the UK players are slacking off… “Lots of them start out with the right intentions and the …

If you like Monty like I like Monty, then you should check out this story in the Independent below. It’s full of good quotes, some humor and definitely some “oh really’s!”. The comment that surprised me the most was this quote from Colin about his future in the majors… “I think I will play in 15 to 20 more majors, …

Hey all you Crazy Golfing Canucks! Sandra Post turned 60 today! Can you believe it? Just last week she was at UBC giving a golf clinic for Jazz Golf. I wish I had known then…I’d have gone up and wished her a Happy B’day. Actually, I had a tee time and couldn’t stick around anyway, but I wanted to thank …
