A GOLF BLOG For Golf Nuts
For more than a year now, me and a couple buddies have done nothing but speculate on when Tiger Woods would win again. In the end, nobody was anywhere near to being correct. But each time we had our little discussion, we all pretty much agreed on one thing – Once Tiger Woods got back into the winners circle, it could be the start of another dominating run for the man who will soon be back to #1 in the world. So after his first win today … [Read more...]
It’s a question I have been thinking about for some time now and it's a question I sometimes struggle to come up with a good answer. Why Do I Continue to Root for Tiger Woods? It's a complicated question because I have rooted for the guy for so long now. But with the act he put forth today during his Honda Classic news conference, I wonder if I should just forget about this guy going into the future. So I decided I would try to put it … [Read more...]
Surely, by now you probably know Tiger Woods is teeing it up this weekend in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. If you don't know, you must be living under a rock. Also, if you didn't know, Tiger Woods is teeing it up this weekend alongside his buddy, Tony Romo, who is a pretty good player in his own right. Together, these two super stars should have no problem being near the top of the leader board in the team division by Sunday. But the … [Read more...]
I just had that feeling, you know? Like the feeling you had when Tiger Woods was stepping up to putts at Augusta, or Bay Hill, or Torrey Pines so many years ago. The only problem, he hadn't done anything meaningful in golf since 2009. To be exact, it was 749 days and 26 starts, but I still had that feeling. After watching Tiger Woods play pretty well in Australia during the Australian Open and then even better the following week at The … [Read more...]
I recently put out a guest blogger request on Twitter and I am happy to say I have found a good article for the first ever guest post on Front9Back9 Golf Blog. This comes from Cory Walton in San Antonio, who is currently trying to finish strong towards his electrical engineering degree from University of Texas San Antonio. Cory is a huge sports fan and you can read his blog at From The Cheap Seats. Tiger Woods holds on to a three stoke … [Read more...]
The questions have already started to swirl. I saw them on Twitter last night while Johnny Miller and crew talked about it on air during the final day of the Presidents Cup. Is Tiger Woods back? I even wrote about it last week during the Australian Open after Tiger Woods fired a 5-under 67 to take the second round lead. In the final day of the 2011 Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne, Tiger Woods closed out Aaron Baddeley 4 and 3 to clinch … [Read more...]
How many times do you see headlines pop when the 58th ranked player in the world is leading a golf tournament on Friday on another continent? When that player is Tiger Woods, it all makes perfect sense. It's been nearly a year, but it seems Tiger Woods is finally playing some golf. Tiger fired a 5-under 67 on Friday in Australia in his tune up tournament before the Presidents Cup next week. Does this mean Tiger Woods is back? It's too … [Read more...]
The tournament organizers are probably waking up from a massive hangover this morning after partying all night now that the main attraction at the Frys.com Open has made the cut. After the first round spectacle, which Tiger Woods called his worst putting day ever, people started questioning his game again and Tiger Woods was on the verge of missing his second professional cut in a row, something he hasn't done since back in the mid … [Read more...]
Let’s See. What Have I Missed? I have been down and out for a couple months now. Seventy-seven days to be exact. July 3, 2011 was my last post and frankly I am pretty upset with myself. I worked hard on this blog since 2009 and 11 weeks of not posting anything is just horrendous. It’s not like I was sick or injured. It’s not like I was working my “real” job 16 hours a day and only had time to sleep. It’s just … [Read more...]
There’s still a lot of golf to be played and I think most people are taking the “let’s wait and see if he can carry it to the weekend” approach, but the one thing I know for sure is golf needs Tiger Woods near the top of the leaderboard and the buzz was back in full gear yesterday. I was out playing golf in the afternoon yesterday and around 4:30 PM I started receiving text messages from buddies asking me if I was watching Tigers … [Read more...]
If my fiancé wants something done this weekend, well it’s going to be slow going. If someone calls to go play golf, it will probably be the only time I will say no. The only thing I wish more is I was in Augusta watching the tournament live. I’m not so I have to resort to watching it in HD. Oh well, here are my picks for the 75th Masters. Tiger Woods- Who knows what Tiger is going to do at Augusta this week. For some reason I … [Read more...]
This is the final week for the Winter series in Fans of Devil Ball Fantasy Golf. I pretty much was horrible. I am currently in 75th place going into the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week. Next week at the Shell Houston Open the Spring series starts, so it all starts over again, so I plan on winning the Spring. This week at Bay Hill the big dogs are in the field again. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and the rest of the gang are all … [Read more...]
