Dear Memory,
Please don’t let me forget what I saw today on TV. When time has passed, and the record books state simply that Tiger Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in a 19-hole playoff against Rocco Mediate, don’t let me forget just how far Tiger was pushed, and just how tough this [...]

- Congrats to Kenny Perry, who won the ‘08 Memorial Tournament on Sunday.
- By all accounts Perry is one nice guy. But my favorite fun fact about Perry? His hometown of Franklin, Kentucky apparently didn’t have a public golf course, so he took out a $2.5 mil loan and built one. Rumor has it [...]

Geoff Ogilvy is officially my boy (at this moment he’s three shots back at the Memorial- the second round is still underway). He’ll win the Memorial and/or the US Open, this year. Mark. It. Down.

Ah, the Memorial Tournament. When you’re from Columbus and a proud OSU alum, like tournament founder Jack Nicklaus, the Memorial is always a highlight on the golf calendar. The Memorial holds a special place in my heart, because it’s one of the places where I fell in love with golf as a kid. I come [...]
Phil wins the Colonial in style

Phil Mickelson went to the 18th hole in a three-way tie for the lead at Colonial CC yesterday and promptly proceeded to Winged-Foot his drive into what seemed like jail down the left side. His playing partner and co-leader, Rod Pampling, knocked his drive 300+ down the middle of the fairway, leaving a wedge to [...]

I try to do as much reading for pleasure as I can. My guilty pleasure? Books about golf. These don’t include instructional books (although Harvey Penick’s books are an exception, as are Dr. Bob Rotella’s books), biographies of tour pros (my guess is that books about Arnie or Jack aren’t written for people who are [...]
Kizer’s greens explained

I played Kizer about a month ago with a buddy of mine, and can verify that the greens were atrocious (even for my crappy standards). I thought they should just put down a Big Break-style scoring grid on the greens, and based on the circle where you land your approach shot (or 3rd chip, for [...]
Golf pro aces par 4 on local TV

You have to check out this video from a feature on Vista Ridge Golf Club in Colorado. Right after the pros in the piece say that no one has aced the 350-yard par 4 17th, one of them gets up and knocks his drive right in. The dude’s in total shock- awesome.
