One day after reports out of Las Vegas said Anthony Kim was at the Bellagio dropping F-bombs and partying the night away, he has officially withdrawn from the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open citing wrist issues. I had high hopes Anthony this week. When I was putting together my Golf Picks & Predictions last night I picked Anthony to win for the week but had to change it this morning before posting due to his withdrawl. His management team at IMG has come out and … [Read more...]

Tiger weighs in on raingear-gate
Add Tiger Woods to the list of people who have publicly piled on Sun Mountain in regards to the infamous rain gear malfunctions during the Ryder Cup. Tiger was doing interviews today during media day for his upcoming Chevron World Challenge when he was asked about the rain suits: One of the things, just going back to the Ryder Cup for a minute I never really got to ask you about that over there is I know Steve's been caddying since he was 12 years old.

Transgender Golfer Suing LPGA Tour
What is setting up to potentially be a showdown in the courts, a transgender golfer, Lana Lawless, is suing the LPGA and two title sponsors after rules and regulations state you must be "female at birth." Lawless had gender reassignment surgery in 2005 and won the long drive championship in 2008. The Long Drivers of America, which oversees the event has recently barred Lawless from competing after adopting similar rules to the LPGA. Lawless is trying to prevent the LPGA from holding … [Read more...]

Can You Tell It’s A Slow Golf Month?
My last two posts have been a Happy Anniversary for Titleist and a Happy Birthday for Michelle Wie. Can you tell it's a slow golf time since the Ryder Cup ended? Besides Tiger Woods playing in Thailand and Shanghai in November and talk about Lee Westwood overtaking #1 at the end of October, there is not much to talk about. The Fall Series on the PGA Tour is in full swing and guys are fighting to earn those last few dollars to keep their cards. Other than these things there is not too much … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday Michelle Wie
Happy Birthday Michelle Wie. Today she turns 21 years old. It has been almost six years now that her much anticipated pro debut on the LPGA tour resulted in a disqualification due to an incorrect scorecard. With two victories under her belt, and a Stanford degree in the near future, I wonder how long it's going to be until we start to hear about her trying her way onto the PGA Tour. It's been a few years now that anybody has really mentioned it, and I'm glad she finally came to her … [Read more...]
Happy Anniversary Titleist Pro V1
Sure my title is pretty cheesy today but WTH right? It's hard to believe the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x have been around for ten years now. It hasn't seemed that long. I have been using the Pro V1x for at least five years, maybe longer. I feel it really is the best ball. I have tried out numerous balls throughout the years and I just don't seem to get the same performance from another ball. I can find balls they may seem to be longer off the tee, but I cannot find anything comparable to … [Read more...]

Top 5 Ryder Cup Captain Picks For Medinah In 2012
With the 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor still somewhat fresh in our minds, I thought I would write a few names who would be my top 5 picks for the possible captain selection for the 2010 Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago. The PGA of America is responsible for picking the captain, which will probably take place in December 2010. The PGA of America has a few guidelines to narrow down the names of potential captain selections, which include having won a PGA Championship or at … [Read more...]
Europe Wins The Ryder Cup
As you can tell by the boring title, I am not too excited Europe won the Ryder Cup. I woke up again at 5:00 a.m. today and watched about an 1 1/2 hours worth of the coverage until I had to leave for my real job. Then when I got to this real job, I streamed an hour worth of it on RyderCup.com until my colleagues starting showing up and then I decided I needed to turn it off so I just hit refresh on my browser every three minutes in-between catching up on other news. So as you may be able to … [Read more...]

United States Ryder Cup Team Making Comeback
See, what did I tell you... It was only about two hours ago that I wrote live coverage had begun again and the U.S. team was down in six matches. Now they are up in one match and two others are all square. So that puts Europe up in one match as well. If the U.S. can close out that one match they are up in and get the full point and end the other two with halves then that will be a great boost for the U.S. team. Let's go USA!! … [Read more...]
United States Ryder Cup Team Struggling
Ryder Cup coverage has resumed on NBC finally after another lengthy rain delay and things don't seem to be turning around for the Americans right now. They are still currently down in five matches and Woods and Stricker have already lost their match to Westwood and Donald. The matches will definetely have to finish on Monday now and Woods and Stricker need to go do something to get their games back. The U.S team is up 6 to 5 right now over the Europeans. Currently as I write this, two … [Read more...]
United States Ryder Cup Uniforms
I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but I don't understand the U.S. uniform choices. There is no reason why every day, the colors of the United States Flag are not worn. Red, white and blue should be the base colors of the clothing for every day. There are so many different combination you can do with those three colors that it will never get old. I don't understand the lavender and I really don't understand the V-neck sweaters. Every year they need to bring in a well known designer and … [Read more...]
