absolutely brilliant performance. hope it gives confidence to the other europeans when in contention at a major. sat up last night and watched to the death, he's a fellow irish/northern irishman and it was great to see him showing such maturity and course management.
looking back, his put from...
lol, i know i shouldn't laugh at that one, but i couldn't help it.
there was a pro-am tournament on sky sports recently of a european tour event (it may have been the seniors tour), where one of the amateur players had his leg removed from below the knee. he was an ex baseball player who took...
i am prone to a bit of slicing. about 30% of the time i hit it fairly straight. i rarely slice it onto the next fairway, but i often slice it enough where it lands right side of the fairway and rolls agonisingly into the first or second cut of rough, or rolls into the jungle.
i tried lining up...
a month ago, a friend of mine mammothly over-clubbed and hit a five iron to the last green 150 yards away, except the ball over-shot the green and hit the club-house and puntured a hole in it's slate roof, removing a slate or two. it was the quickest exit any of us ever made from a golf course...
certainly. he has been awarded with a great gift for striking a golf ball (not his gift for bedding women :D).when you compare his attitude to the other greats in golf like nicklaus, watson and mickelson etc, his attitude stinks to the high heaven.
eg: when a 5 live commentator asked him for a...
so there were no big crowds at tournaments before tiger, no tv deals, no big checks for the winners? it's as if the game of golf didn't exist before tiger. the game has plenty of golfers who can take over tiger's mantle. yes, the guy is probably the best golfer ever, but football goes on without...
totally agree here. even when tiger plays cr*p he gets way too much coverage. he acts like a spoilt brat on the course, spitting and swearing and generally sticking his finger up at the values of the game of golf. i think the game of golf wouldn't miss him in the slightest if he never came back...
howcome the north west of n.ireland can host a huge event like the northwest 200 (a motorbike racing festival), and accomodate competitors and a huge volume of spectators, yet royal portrush (which is in the same area) isn't deemed to have the adequate facilities? the north west 200 is a huge...
the 18th at quail hollow lookes a great hole, with the brook down the left side of the fairway, and a medium iron into the green. the 11th and 13th at augusta, although i like 15 aswell, the second shot to the green there looks very inviting. the road hole at st.andrews, i've always wanted to...
i'm going to play ardglass for the first time this summer. it looks a cracker of a course. can't wait to play the par 3 second and twelfth holes. hope it's not too windy! castle stuart looks a place to play too.
my favourite is the 2nd on the inner 9 at malone golf club, belfast. it's a great course now, comparable to it's 18 holer big brother. it's a par 4, about 390 yards, with a narrow fairway (slight dog-leg right) and a huge tree (reminiscent of the tree on the 18th at pebble) to avoid. the green...
name me a big sporting event that doesn't experience traffic problems? i doubt there are any with quick getaways. look at silverstone for the f1 grand prix. it's like mexico city on a bad day, yet traffic issues don't get in the way of it hosting a big event.
i have never attended an open, but...
why on earth is royal county down not a venue for the open? same goes for royal portrush. they are 2 of the best courses in britain, and indeed the world. the main excuse i hear is that those 2 venues can't cope with the large crowds. royal lytham and st anne's is a very tight venue, and yet is...
