    Sports Personality award

    Well said Mike. I'm certainly struggling to think of any other sports where sportsmanship is so central - maybe snooker?

    WGC world cup

    Indeed they do. I think Marc Warren has got potential. He seems to have a lot of grit.

    WGC world cup

    Knew I was right to tip the Jocks in Back9 of the latest issue. Didn't predict the Germans though.

    alternative golf games

    We sometimes play a game called "Battle Golf." It's fourball better ball but the first team to win a hole gets to stop their opponents using one of their clubs (not the putter).

    Next US Ryder Cup captain

    Azinger would do a good job, he's got a lot of passion. It's a shame he won't be going up against Seve as Captain. Just picture it: Seve wouldd be coughing through his opening speech, making claims of Zinger switching buggies half way through the friday fourball's without informing the...

    Fed up with football

    I agree with JohnWT. My view is that golf is a fantastic televised sport but it's not the greatest live sport, save perhaps for the Ryder Cup. I'd rather watch the culmination of a major championship on the TV because you get a full picture of what's happening. Who's in the running, just what...
