There’s an old adage in sports – so-called “miracles” actually happen with surprising frequency. This week at Augusta National was a textbook example. Jordan Spieth needs a wheelbarrow to haul away all the important records he broke or tied in the 79th Masters, including lowest opening 36 holes (130), lowest opening 54 holes (200), lowest 72...

Coming next – John Piterresi of the Utica Observer-Dispatch on hockey, golf and the Utica Comets 10 game win streak and Frank Corrado, star Comets defenseman with a wicked slap shot.
If this were the Middle Ages, Tiger Woods choosing to come to Augusta National and play in the Masters while Rory McIlroy chases a career Grand Slam and third straight major would be akin to some potentate announcing his own public condemnation and execution as part of another King’s coronation. Or as they might have said back in my Dad’s day, “Hey...
Early odds for the Masters show that you can buy Rory McIlroy at a good price: 6-1. As he has won the last two majors, we here at AWITP would have thought his odds much shorter. For those of you wishing to bet against Tiger Woods, here’s on of your best chances, because barring a miracle comeback Woods’s number might sink like an anchor. Rory McIlroy 6/1...
“I’m gonna have to work on my 350 yard, left-handed slice for next year. Wish me luck,” quipped Graeme McDowell, after Bubba Watson claimed his second Green Jacket in three years with a shot that proved to be the defining moment of the 78th Masters. It was actually a 366 yard drive, it soared over the trees guarding the dog-leg of the iconic 13th...

There weren’t broken bottles under children’s feet, nor bodies strewn across a dead end street, but with apologies to U2, it was Friday, Bloody Friday as many of golf’s biggest stars missed the cut at the 78th Masters. World number one Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson, and former major champions Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell...
As if on cue, I quote U2 one time in a piece, and instantly their Twitter feed tries to sell me concert tickets!
Anyway, Cybergolf just ran my piece on Bloody Friday at the Masters. Enjoy!
The 2014 Masters – No Tiger, No Problem! —“Oh, Tiger’s not playing the Masters this year?” asked Irish golf fan Melvin Markee. “Good, we can watch the broadcast now.”— As a kid, my family vacationed yearly at the famous Concord Hotel, nestled cozily in the bucolic splendor of the Catskill Mountains. In its heyday their...
Cybergolf has my Masters Preview right here. Enjoy. See you with two articles this week including a recap once the tournament is over. From the article: “Happily, at this year’s Masters we’ll be spared the hagiographic hero worship that passes for a golf broadcast when he’s in the field. But as for how the tournament itself goes – as...

Between the bad lighting and the pouring rain I got caught in on the way there, I almost look as bad as Charlie Sheen! (Winning!)
