Back on the Prowl

Tiger Woods won the Chevron World Challenge on Sunday in emphatic fashion, making birdies on holes 17 and 18.

In a World full of Electronic Distractions, Don’t Forget Lifetime Pursuit of Golf

We all get in the same rut: Get up, cereal, shower, work, home, eat, television/Internet, brush teeth, go to sleep. Some of us walk, work out at the gym, visit friends, text and video chat.

NBA News: Other Concerns

I find it disturbing that most of the chatter in regards to the state of the NBA these days is not really focused on establishing a new collective bargaining agreement. The latest salvo was earlier this week when the NBA decided to file suit against the players association, stating that... Continue reading "NBA News: Other Concerns" »

Well, Darren Clarke finally has his major. It's interesting with Clarke. I work on a morning sports talk show, and in the days leading up to the tournament one of our hosts was talking about how the British Open seems to provide the occasional surprise winner. All majors do, but... Continue reading "Darren Clarke: Surprise Champion?" »

Rory Mcllory is No Tiger.... Yet

Rory McIllroy put on a clinic at Congressional. No one could stop him from the minute he stepped onto the greens in Bethesda. His 16 under score was the lowest in U.S. Open History!! Not even Tiger Woods could do that. But thats where the comparisons stop. Yes, McIllroy played... Continue reading "Rory Mcllory is No Tiger.... Yet" »

Now that Basketball and Hockey Are Done, Is Baseball Enough?

It is mid-June and a down time for some, let’s say, the casual fan who has fleeting interest in pro basketball, hockey, football and baseball. For him/her, all that is left is baseball. It is enough? Heck, it is almost July and football training camps, free agency, retirements, etc. is... Continue reading "Now that Basketball and Hockey Are Done, Is Baseball Enough?" »

Funk Digs Up Old Game, Qualifies For Hometown Open

Fred Funk has built his golf game and Tour career on accuracy and control, never power.
