Modern Course, Modern Leaderboard – New Generation’s Biggest Names Rise at Chambers Bay U.S. Open

UNIVERSITY PLACE – “It’s too brown! It’s too bumpy! It’s too British!” they moan plaintively. Yes, the whiny blockheads are out in force this year, as they usually are at the U.S. Open, complaining about how unusual golf’s annual Final Examination is. It’s actually flabbergasting: They’re not complaining about how...

Robert Allenby and Tiger Woods – The Tale of the Tool and the Tooth

Well golf certainly had a What-the-hell? Weekend! Tin-foil hat stuff meets the PGA Tour. First there was Robert Allenby who is mysteriously sporting facial cuts and bruises after some sort of attack in Hawaii. Allenby missed the cut in the SONY Open and went out to a wine bar for dinner and drinks with his caddie and his friends. The rest of the story is Twilight...

Outmanned, Outmaneuvered, Outplayed U.S. Ryder Cup Team Falls at Gleneagles 16.5 – 11.5

It’s one thing to lose when you’re expected to get beat. It’s another thing altogether to go with a whimper instead of a bang. So it was that the 2014 U.S. Ryder Cup team closed the 40th Ryder Cup with a flaccid performance in the singles, absorbing a 16.5-11.5 loss to Europe. It was the U.S.’s their third consecutive defeat and eighth in the...

Tom Watson Makes the Right Ryder Cup Picks

Though the selection show was longer and more useless than a Judge Judy marathon, U.S. Ryder Cup Captain made the best three selections with his at-large picks, choosing former U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, past PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley, and plucky Hunter Mahan. When the other choices are Chris Kirk, Brandt Snedeker, and Ryan Moore, you have to err...

Offshore and Foreign Venues the PGA Championship Could, Should, and Shouldn’t Visit

It’s been the talk of the Tour for a while now; the PGA of America has formed an exploratory committee to see whether the PGA Championship could and should be held offshore. It’s an interesting idea. Some foreign writers complain about three of the four majors being in the U.S., and although I was reluctant to embrace the idea at first, the more I think...

It’s Friends Still Call it Sawgrass

[Author’s Note: Here’s an old favorite that never goes out of style…] It was 1978. Loud-plaid and big hair were fashionable, disco music battled KISS on your radio dial, and a peanut farmer who couldn’t keep the loyalty of his own Cabinet was President of the United States. Politically, America was gripped by a crisis of confidence and...

Future PGA Championship Venues

Donald Trump gets a major, (insert joke here). Too bad it’s not funny. In fact, with his outright swoop-in like Rodan purchase of Turnberry, he may get two. This may all be small peanuts if in two years we’re calling him President-elect Trump… AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you that much. Anyway, Trump...
