While we await the Captain’s Picks for the Ryder Cup Tuesday morning, a lot has happened in the sports world! Are you ready for some football?! With the arrival of the season comes the return of the best sports prognostication on the Internet, (in the last four years:)) Ive been running at well over 59%, sometimes as high as five points more! This year...
Tiger apologists are high-fiving each other in the streets following the announcement earlier today that Woods is parting ways with coach Sean Foley…one day after one of Foley’s other high-profile charges won the Barclay’s and took the lead in the FedEx Cup standings. “With my next tournament not until my World Challenge event (Dec. 1-7) at...
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...
10. Wow, Michelle Wie really needs to shave her legs. 9. That’s not Ian Poulter, it’s a villain on “Doctor Who.” 8. IJP Designs EPIC FAIL! 7. I thought the guys in DEVO all wore funny hats? 6. The art of Seduction…NOT! 5. Okay, I’m ready for another Ice Bucket Challenge. 4. This is what happens when you lose a bet to Joost Luiten...
Click here to see Jay’s Ice Bucket Challenge So I did the Ice Bucket Challenge, and I call out Tiger Woods, Tim Finchem, and Hank Gola of the New York Daily News. My charity is the American Heart Association, so Tiger, Hank, and Tim, if you make your donation, spell my name right:) This ice bucket challenge is brought to by James Jurney’s Seize sur Vingt...
Citing unnamed sources, Golf Channel claims that Tiger Woods will return to pro golf at the Open Championship, held this year at Royal Liverpool, where he last won the Open Championship eight years ago. No further information was available, and neither Woods not his agent Marc Steinberg confirmed any timetable for Woods’s comeback. According to the article:...
[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...
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...
I Noh him! I interviewed hm back in 2010 at whistling Straits when he led for ten minutes or so… Some Guy Yul Noh If anyone personifies the unpredictability and wackiness of the tournament thus far, it’s the performance of a young breakout Korean star named Seung-Yul Noh. Pardon the bad pun, but you’ll know him pretty well this weekend if he adds to...
Dear Hank: It’s good to catch up with you again. You’ll remember I’m the Entertainment, Trademark, Internet, and Sports lawyer that’s also a golf writer – that colorful little skinny guy that usually dresses in all black, (sort of like a short, Italian version of Chi Chi Rodriguez, but I digress…). We’ve met a few times at...
Casa de Campo Resort’s legendary Teeth of the Dog golf course, one of architect Pete Dye’s indisputable masterpieces, is finally ready for its on-camera close up. The PGA Tour’s “Latinoamerican Tour” Dominican Republic Open will be held there this May 12-18. “We look forward to welcoming the finest golfers from the Dominican...
It was lost in all the fanfare of the NFL playoffs and the holidays, but the Golf Writers Association of America gave their Player of the Year Award to Adam Scott. He beat Tiger Woods by five votes. One can’t help but wonder – were any voters affected by Tiger’s four rules controversies? Or was it just that in the bog moments last year, he was...
You can clamor all you want about Tiger Woods winning five tournaments this year, (three of them early, limited field events and one – Sawgrass – besmirched with an ugly asterisk for a highly questionable drop), but Adam Scott had by far and away the best year of any golfer. A. Scott won the Masters. Woods wasn’t competitive in a single major except...
Since silly season is upon us, it’s time to turn our attention to the yearly Jay’s Golf Awards, known around here as the Jazzys. We’ll recall all the best and worst of the year while mixing in some new course reviews, Cybergolf pieces, and various holiday bric-a-brac before kicking off the new year with Phish at MSG. We’ll highlighting Best...
Dear Trey: Congratulations to you Page, Mike, and Fish on another stellar Fall tour and, in particular, on another excellent Halloween show. You guys totally killed it! It was both fun and interesting to see you perform so many new songs on such a special occasion. Here’s my best wishes to the four of you that the new album is a tremendous success, and I look...
