Congratulations Tim Reavie
July 28th, 2008 · No Comments
I didn’t get to see as much of the Canadian Open as I would have liked, but from the parts I did see, looks like it was a heck of a tournament. I thought Anthony Kim was going to pull it out, but looks like he couldn’t quite pull it off.
Congratulations Tim on a great [...]

Why Does Everyone Love Greg Norman?
July 23rd, 2008 · No Comments
I know I’m getting to this late, but it had been bothering me until I just had to say something – what was it with Greg Norman’s coverage during the Open Championship?
I mean, I get it – an old proud lion, long since retired and thought past his prime comes back to the field of [...]

Saw a great article today on how to avoid thinkng too much on the golf course.
If you’re like me, one of the biggest problems keeping you from having the swing you want is you tend to think too much, particularly when you’re swinging. You step over the ball, and a thousand swing thoughts speed through [...]

Improve Your Takeaway
July 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
One of the biggest problems I’ve struggled with is my takeaway. It has always been really easy for me to take the club too far inside, and mess up my entire swing.
I’ve done a lot of research online, looking for a great drill to help me correct this problem, and this is one of the [...]

Michelle Wie Gets Hosed
July 19th, 2008 · No Comments
Here is an interesting story brewing out of the LPGA’s State Farm Classic. Apparently, the female golf wunderkind/spoiled brat didn’t sign her scorecard before leaving the roped in scoring area.
Now, I’m more than willing to criticize Michelle Wie as much as the next person, but disqualification for not signing your scorecard promptly enough has got [...]

Way to go Double-D!
July 18th, 2008 · No Comments
Checked the British Open leaderboard today, and I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to see not only Greg Norman and Padraig Harrington but also David Duval.
While I’ve always been a Duval fan, I have to admit, I was one of the millions of people who thought the guy had fallen off the face [...]
