Have you ever played 36 holes of golf in one day? If so, then you know how draining a full day on the golf course could be. But how do you think you will feel after playing 100 holes of golf in one day? Yes, I said 100 holes of golf. Well a man from Pennsylvania recently completed 100 holes of golf in a little under 13 hours. And the reason he played this many holes? Charity. Doug Oathout completed 100 holes at Crab Apple Ridge Golf Course in Erie, PA. He hit his first tee shot at 6:30 … [Read more...]
I Wish This Skank Would Just Go Away
This skank needs to go away. Really, she does. Yes I am talking about the porn star who alleges an affair with Tiger Woods and is on some kind of obsessed mission to get back at him. OK great, you had an affair with Tiger Woods. A LOT of women did. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL. I don't care if you have a website and you plan on posting more emails or text messages or pictures or whatever else you are going to do. You are irrelevant and you need to go away. People are moving on from the fact … [Read more...]
Tiger Woods Mistresses Still Think They Are Relevant
I have had a couple days now to digest and absorb the text messages a former porn actress posted on a new website claiming to be from Tiger Woods. I want to preference this post by saying I am a huge Tiger Woods fan. So this post may seem like a Tiger apologist and I admit it is. It may also sound a little sexist which I apologize for upfront. But this stuff needs to be said. I am not going to give this porn actresses name or website on my site because she doesn't dererve any more run. … [Read more...]
Tiger Woods Coming Back for The Masters
While some people will say Tiger Woods should get a tournament under his belt before the Masters and others will say the Masters is the perfect place to make his first start, I am somewhere in the middle. But the one thing I can be sure about is how happy I am to finally hear it from the man himself. He is done with the intense therapy. He is making amends with his wife and family. He has been seen working at his game like crazy. And now it's time for him to get back out and do what made … [Read more...]
How are You Faring in the Fans of Devil Ball Fantasy League?
Well I thought you would never ask. I haven't written about how I stand lately, so here we go. So leading up to The Honda Classic I was sitting in 59th place. But I had a week to remember and jumped 37 places to #22 thanks to a win by Camilo and a great showing by Vijay Singh and Charles Howell III. But after last weeks WGC CA Championship I dropped 4 spots to #26. So I need another good week to make a push to the top. There are only two tournaments, including this week, left in the winter … [Read more...]
Tiger Woods and Hank Haney Back Together
Sources have told The Golf Channel and Golf Digest has confirmed Hank Haney is back in Orlando and has been seen with Tiger Woods at Isleworth practicing. Now what does this mean? Who knows. I am sure speculation will grow over the next week. The WGC CA Championship is this weekend and Tiger already missed the deadline to enter. The Transitions Championship is next week in Tampa and Tiger has never played that tournament in his career. The Tavistock Cup is March 22-23 at Isleworth. Then … [Read more...]
Three Footer for Par: How To Hit a Stinger 3 Wood
This is the first article in a new series I am starting on Front9Back9, called Three Footer for Par. It is a series of golf tips and course management ideas that I hope you can use on the course. Now, I am not a great golfer and I am not a golf coach. So I want to make that clear before getting started. I am strictly getting these tips and strategies from trusted sources like Golf.com or GolfDigest.com, two of the many websites or magazines I read weekly. Before I write about them, I have … [Read more...]
Hunter Mahan Gets His Second PGA Tour Victory
Some will question what Rickie Fowler was thinking when he laid up on the par 5 15th, but no-one will question the sweet little 6-under 65 shot by Hunter Mahan to get his second PGA Tour victory. The yearly tradition known as the Waste Management Phoenix Open, where the 16th hole is the rowdiest setting in golf, is in the books and Hunter Mahan gets a nice boost to number six in the Fed Ex points and secures himself his second PGA Tour victory before the age of 30. Fowler laid up from just … [Read more...]
John Daly Showing Some Leg
John probably feels great after dropping over 100 pounds over the last year. And now he shows how good he feels with a new sponsor. Slix underwear has signed Daly to a new endorsement contract and John is already strutting his stuff on their homepage. John tweeted about it yesterday and the pictures of him showing some leg are making their rounds. I found them over at Huffington Post and the new underwear will go along well with the Loudmouth Golf pants. I checked out the Slix website and … [Read more...]
Stevie Gonna Kick Your Ass
Whenever Elin Woods tells Tiger it's OK to go back to playing golf, I hope you are not planning on going to the golf course, having a few beers, and yelling things like "What room number do I send the Hooker to" when Tiger walks by. If you do, his caddy, Steve Williams will come kick your ass. Williams told The Sun-Herald in Queensland: "There are always going to be people who are going to knock you ... Being the No. 1 player in the world and being as successful as Tiger has been, there … [Read more...]
Reaction To Tiger Woods Statement
It has been almost 24 hours since Tiger Woods made his statement to the media and the world. The statement was carried live on all the major news networks, The Golf Channel, ESPN, and streamed live across the internet. ESPN Radio here in San Antonio along with our other sports station, Ticket 760, had the statement live as well. I imagine that was the case across the nation as well. Sports Center this morning had pictures from Miami to Stockholm to Thailand showing the press conference. … [Read more...]
Tiger Woods to Make a Statement on Friday
Finally, the moment we have all been speculating on for almost three months now. Tiger Woods is going to finally sit down and face the music. Well not really, but he is going to talk to the media. And let me make one thing very clear. He is going to talk to the media and "It is NOT a press conference." Yes this is the statement from his website and his agent wants everyone to understand that this is not going to be a press conference and Tiger will read a statement. Tiger will speak to … [Read more...]
Fantasy Golf Free-Fall
So the last two weeks have been a free-fall in my Fans of Devil Ball Fantsay Golf League. I went from 27 to 38 to sitting at 53rd place as of now. I don't know what is going wrong. Phil and Justin Leonard and Mike Weir and basically everyone I have picked so far has failed miserablly. So here we go, week 6. I am starting Luke Donald and having Phil back him up in my A group. In the B group I am staring Dustin Johnson and Sergio. Backing them up Jim Furyk and Alex Prugh. In my C group … [Read more...]
LPGA Signs New Sponsor
The LPGA signed a new sponsor recently and created the Sybase Match Play Championship to be held in New York at Hamilton Farm Golf Club. The event will be held May 20-23 and invite the the top 64 LPGA Tour professionals. It's good to see Sybase step up and become a sponsor again. Sybase was a sponsor for another event since 2001. The HSBC Women's World Match Play Championship was held at Hamilton Farm in 2005 and 2006. Should be a good event. I will be on the lookout for that … [Read more...]
Three Questions With Phil
This week Phil Mickelson will be making his PGA Tour debut playing at the Farmers Insurance Open at the great Torrey Pines. Phil met with the media today and granted me a quick one-on-one interview after he fulfilled all his other press duties. I am hoping to be landing a lot of these interviews during the 2010 PGA Tour so I hope you come back to check them all out. front9back9: Hey Phil. You are looking trim and fit. How to you feel physically? Phil: I feel great. I stopped eating … [Read more...]
Horrible Week in Fantasy Golf
I just had a horrible week in fantasy golf. I lost 16 positions and dropped to #38 for the week in the Fans of Devil Ball Yahoo fantasy league. My two "A Players" both missed the cut. Thanks Justin Leonard and Scott Verplank. Charles Howell III and Pat Perez got me solid points for the week and Mike Weir, my "C Player" added 60 points. I added a whopping 158 points for the Winter part of the season. This week at the Farmers, I opted to not go with Phil just in case he is just a bit … [Read more...]
Interesting Tiger Woods Development
Sports by Brooks reported yesterday via TigerWoodsIsGod.com, the PGA Tour has announced Tiger Woods will NOT be the host of his annual tournament in the DC area. The AT&T National is a tournament benefiting The Tiger Woods Foundation. The tournament will still give the proceeds to the foundation, but only because of contract agreement running through 2014. This is huge. It is so so interesting to me that Golf.com, ESPN.com, CBSSports.com, or any other huge sports site is not reporting … [Read more...]
The Most Private Person Alive
This is amazing to me. The world is still infatuated with the Tiger Woods saga. Yesterday the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) released a statement saying Woods DID meet with them four days after the accident and only had a fat lip. No other facial injuries were present and domestic violence was ruled out. This just shows once again that even after Tiger Woods personal life was blown up because of this crash, we still do not know anything about this guy. Somehow Tiger Woods was able to … [Read more...]
No More Tiger Woods Golf Tips…For Now at Least
Golf Digest announced on Wednesday that the instructional articles Tiger Woods writes for the magazine will be suspended while Tiger is on his indefinite break from golf.

We respect Tiger's decision to take a break from professional golf and focus on his family; Tiger's bylined … [Read more...]
Swede’s Stick Together
Boy do Swede’s stick together in difficult times.. LPGA player, Helen Alfredsson, seems to have the back of Elin Nordegren and is the latest player to pile on Tiger Woods. According to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Alfredsson heard about Tiger’s infidelities last July during the British Open played at Turnberry. Alfredsson is quoted as saying “In the quietest water swims the ugliest fish” referring to Tiger Woods. In the same article she questions why Tiger even got married and asked “is … [Read more...]
