URBAN GOLF AT IT’S BIGGEST BUDGET: It looks like Sir Rickie Fowler hit the ultimate urban golf shot by plucking a wedge 100 yards for a hole in one during a Red Bull shoot in Washington, D.C. They say it was a blind Tee shot, but it really was just threaded down a street. Nice [...]
WOW. NO ONE EVER THOUGHT TITLIEST COULD GO DOWN: Ten years ago when Nike came on the scene in golf, all the industry veterans spouted how Nike where just an upstart with lots of cash. (and a kid named Tiger on the payroll) I didn’t buy it. Now ten years later, they made the golf [...]

TIME CHANGES…even in golf. This is the end of an era that I think influenced and flavored everything that was golf. From the kid to the seasoned vet. Tiger woods came on the scene and just lit it up. The question is, where were you on April 6th 1997? I actually couldn’t tell you anything [...]
SHELL HOUSTON OPEN: The great and powerful Phil Mickelson starts off this weeks PGA Shot of the week with a nifty bump and run up a slope for a magnificent birdie. Of course Lee Westwood’s caddie bows to his prowess. Then Greg Chalmer hits a nice Hole in one. Scott Verplank drains a fairway shot [...]
ARNOLD PALMER INVITATIONAL: This was an interesting week. Tiger sank a seemingly 50 yard putt and still looked grumpy about it. Ryan Moore made a beautiful chip from the fringe as did Jason Bohn, knocking it in with a flop shot from off the green. Then the little tiger, Ricky Fowler, flopped a sand shot [...]
IT’S TIME TO GO HUNTING BIRDIES: This was a week of two hole in ones on the PGA Tour at the 2011 Transitions Championship. That’s got to be something to put in the record books. Jim Furyk, John Stallings (Hole in one), Webb Simpson, Peter Uihlein (amatuer), and Jonathan Byrd. Bottom line, yes, these guys [...]

THE SHORT GAME WON OUT THIS WEEK: Here are a few fine shots from both the 2011 World Golf Championships – Accenture Match Play Championship and the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun.
This is truly funny….I’ve actually seen this happen in real like. Oh yes…golf starters have to be some of the craggiest, nastiest, sedentary, control freaks I’ve ever met…enjoy.
HAPPY GILMORE #1: Rory Mcilroy: Nice practice swing and nice wide approach with a driver. My vote for best PGA Tour player Gilmore. HAPPY GILMORE #2: Sergio Garcia sets up nicely, but shows a tepid execution HAPPY GILMORE #3: Padraig Harrington has the best camera work…and he did the shot in public…bravo Paddy. HAPPY GILMORE [...]

NORTHERN TRUST OPEN: I have to say the tournament at the famed Riviera CC in Brentwood, CA was a nail biter, but the shots of the week were lackluster. No hole in ones and only one hole out from the fairway from Justin Rose. Thre were a bunch of chips from Freddie Couples, Trevor Immelman [...]
AT&T PEBBLE BEACH PRO – AM: What a week for crazy shots. Two of the top PGA Tour shots of the week were from the celebrities. George Lopez had a nifty little chip in. Then Bill Murry got lucky with a chip shot where the golf ball went a good 20ft past the hole, then [...]

Tommy two gloves seems not to care I’ve been hearing about Tommy for quite a while. But it’s usually combined with a chuckle or laugh. The guy simply doesn’t have that well- pressed PGA style…but I honestly don’t think he cares. He’s what I used to call in cycling a ‘trainer’. In golf we should [...]
BUBBA ‘THE BOMBER’ WATSON DOMINATES, THEN BLUBBERS HIS WAY TO VICTORY: 2011 Farmers Insurance Open: Bubba ‘the Bomber’ showed everyone, even the great and powerful ‘Phil’ how to win a PGA Tournament with gusto. This Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open was a battle Royale between a known, Phil Michelson, a semi known, Bubba ‘The [...]
WHAT CAN YOU CALL BUBBA WATSON? The Bubbanator? Bubba the Bomber? The master blaster? I can’t decide on his nickname because Bubba went beyond the realm of long drive king. He actually put his short game together with his game altering long drives to win the Farmer Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. Though Phil Michelson [...]
THE BOB HOPE DESEART CLASSIC TOOK PLACE THIS WEEK TO PRETTY SAD ATTENDANCE and not the greatest of high lights. Johanthan Vegas, a Nation Wide Tour stand out pulled some clutch shots to bring it home for the win, but there were no hole in ones or super killer fairway eagles. But it was the [...]
THE SONY OPEN was filled with surprises thanks to a nasty storm that delayed play for two days. Then, on Monday they played a 36 hole marathon won by non other than mid-field player Mark Wilson. Of course Shaun Micheel drains a hole in one on the 17th during the second round. I think that [...]
