MONROE TOWNSHIP, NJ – Continuing their longstanding tradition of giving back to golf, Forsgate Country Club’s charity event on October 6 and 7 will feature Paula Creamer and Gary McCord in a “Battle of the Sexes” hosted by Clown Prince of Golf, David Feherty. “We need the community more than they need us, so we do whatever we can to use...
Gola, Smith, Berger, Flemma Lead NYC Golf Writers to 1st Writer Cup Victory at Forsgate By Rodney Zilla, special to Cybergolf and AWITP MONROE TOWNSHIP, NJ – Doug Smith fired a gutsy 75, Dan Berger smoothly powered to a net 70, and co-captains Hank Gola and Jay Flemma also scored for the NY-National golf writing team as they finally defeated their hated arch...
Tomorrow we’ll be live from Forsgate C.C. for the sixth annual Writer Cup, so look for live reports from the tournament as Brew Crew of New York tries to stave off a sixth consecutive defeat to the Fighting Donkeys of Philadelphia. Tune on for all the fun.
Something a little different for us here at AWITP – a photo essay. I had the great privilege to play Teugega C.C. a gorgeous little Donald Ross course nestled cozily in the sleepy colonial era town town of Rome, New York on the shores of Lake Delta. (American History buffs will recall the area is home to Fort Stanwix, where colonial forces stopped the march of...
—You may find yourself In a beautiful house With a beautiful wife You may ask yourself Well…how did I get here? Talking Heads – “Once in a Lifetime“— SAN FRANCISCO – One of my Golf Magazine writer buddies turned to me wide-eyed after the final putt dropped and said, “Congratulations on picking Webb Simpson to win this...
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – A missile crisis hush has fallen over San Francisco. You can feel the tension in the air, gathering its strength, waiting for the right time to strike. Eerily silent on the eve of championship Sunday, it’s as though all the golf world has taken its one last deep breath before the plunge headlong into chaos tomorrow. Yes, it will be...
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – When the journalists, broadcasters, and oddsmakers were asking, “Which Tiger Woods is going to show up this week?” they had the right wording, but weren’t asking the right question. When asking “Which Tiger?” most people were wondering whether we’d see the Tiger who won at the Memorial or the Tiger who...
SAN FRANCISCO – There was once a time when the U.S. Open was far more than just “Golf’s Toughest Test.” As far back as the 1970s golf journalists christened the event “The Tricked-up Open” for all the cloak and dagger claustrophobia of criminally narrow fairways, parquet floor greens, and mine fields of unexploded double bogeys...
Wowsers, that’s shades of Payne Stewart in 1998, only at 17 not 18. Don’t miss the correct section of the green or else!
The video of the green shedding balls like rain off a macintosh is here.
It’s fitting that the town that gave us the Grateful Dead would also give us U.S. Open winners that to amount to a decades-long strange trip. Or as Hall of Fame golf writer Dan Jenkins once wrote, “Of all the traditions in golf, the one at Olympic Club is the most annoying. Hold a U.S. Open at Olympic and the wrong guy will win it every time.” Jack...
MAMARONECK, NY – The U.S. Postal Service should look to Winged Foot for inspiration because neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night would keep the club from completing the final round of the 76th Anderson Memorial, America’s premier fourball golf tournament. Outracing two thunderstorms and the inexorable march of nightfall, Parker Smith and Dan...
Top seeded Parker Smith and Dan Crockett of The Country Club (TN) defeated “Big Ben” Hayes and Jon Marsico 2&1 in the round of 16, then defeated Joe Saladino and Dave Boccia by the same score to advance to the semi-finals. They will face 12th seeded Winged Foot team and 2009 Anderson champions Greg Rohlf and Jeff Putman. In the other semi-final...
MAMARONECK, NY – Defending champions Parker Smith and Dan Crockett of the Country Club (TN) carded a second consecutive 3-under 67, then defeated Michael Miller and Matthew Minerva of Knollwood Country Club in a playoff to secure medalist honors and the top seed in the 76th annual John G. Anderson Memorial Tournament at Winged Foot Golf Club as America’s...
