It’s the Miguel Angel Jimenez workout routine, (cigar and stripper pole not included). As Steve Czaban would say, “This is wrong…very, very, wrong!!” It is also…wait for it…completely reedonkyoulous!!”

FOREST HILLS, NY – Golf is at a crossroads right now, but none of the issues it faces are as lethal as the scaremongers would have you believe. Sure rounds are down, costs are up, and American players haven’t won a major championship in six tries. Nevertheless, with a little patience, wisdom, and foresight, golf will do what it has always done best...
My golf State of the Union Address is up at Cybergolf. Just one thing – you’ll need this photo, tweeted by none other than Rory McIlroy himself. From the article: “As for our drought in the majors, remember I said this: an American will win in Atlanta. The PGA Championship set-up usually invites everybody to the party. You don’t have the...
The self-immolation of Tiger Woods continues apace with no signs of slowing down. First, Woods announced today that he fired Steve Williams, who some in the media derided as his “bag ape” and which seemed to fit in certain instances, not the least of which was his throwing a photographer’s camera in a lake. Moreover, CBS’ Steve Elling had a...
So this is what Darren Clarke does for an encore. The last time we saw Clarke, he was riding off into the sunset after leading the 2006 European Ryder Cup team to victory. Only a few short months after the death of his wife Heather, a breast cancer victim, there he was going 3-0, inspiring everyone around him, European and American alike. It was a virtuoso...

Although it’s certainly early days to be picking a winner for any Sports Book of the Year Awards, golf writer Adam Schupak stands a terrific chance of having to clear out space in his trophy case for some end of the year hardware.

Hat tip to Ryan Ballengee for catching this story about HGH Doctor Henry Galea of the “blood spinning technique” entering into a plea deal. Galea, a known commodity among PED and steroid cheats, treated Woods with mysterious knee injection treatments which PGA Tour Commissioner Timid Tim Finchem refuses to investigate. From the article: “Woods has...
BETHESDA, MD – The lightning blinded the eyes of all the spectators with its burnished reflection of the sun off the shaft of Rory McIlroy’s hybrid. We first heard the “Thwack!” as the clubface spoke its single word, and then the golf ball soared skyward, waving to Snoopy 2 as it cruised by on its way to the 10th green at Congressional Country...
BETHESDA, MD – Dan Jenkins sums up the situation with his usual sparkling wit: “Five hours into the U.S. Open and Tiger has yet to make a bogey.” As usual Jenkins is lampooning, indeed skewering the broadcast media for their addiction to ratings, casual eyeballs, and train wrecks. The biggest buzz of the tournament so far is “Tiger’s not...
The U.S.G.A. announced minutes ago that Shinnecock Hills will host the 2018 U.S. Open. The announcement was greeted with excitement by the media and golf industry.

People always ask me what I mean when I say “This is reedonkyulous!” Well the video below is a perfect example! This is just flat-out frightening on so many levels:P Oh well, no one can claim that golfers are too stiff anymore. Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, Rickie Fowler, and Ben Crane mix Halloween and April Fools Day – and set of every dork alarm in...
BETHESDA, MD – Once upon a time, just saying the name Congressional was enough to make pro golfers tremble. People still blanche when they recall brave old Ken Venturi staggering up the 18th fairway on the last Saturday finish in U.S. Open history, seemingly one step ahead of the Grim Reaper. “They opened up a coffin and out he crawled,”...
For the first time since he began playing the event in 1996, Tiger Woods will miss a U.S. Open. The announcement came out of Jacksonville via AP reporter Doug Ferguson that Woods will skip the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional due to his Achilles injury, and probably also due to symptoms in his left knee, which has endured four surgeries. Woods tweeted, “Not...
From Tiger Woods himself, via Twitter: “Staying with Mark Steinberg. Total Confidence in him. Excited about the next stage in my professional life.
