Peter Oosterhuis: Tiger Will Not Fit In With Ryder ...
1 day ago
by Ryan Ballengee
Despite protestations to the contrary this morning, the long held view of Tiger Woods & the Ryder Cup is they don't quite see eye-to-eye with each other. Woods has been criticized for not much caring about the team competition, the Euro road games, and pretty much any other aspect - social or professional - about it.
This morning, Woods tried to again dissuade anyone from that speculation.
I've always loved playing The Ryder Cup. I've always enjoyed being a part of the team. I don't know w ...

by Ryan Ballengee
Remember that front nine 28 that probably landed Luke Donald a spot on the European Ryder Cup team? And then the 40 coming home that made half of the universe second guess what in the world they just saw? Well, the Englishman has a perfectly fine explanation.
In his blog through sponsor Mizuno, Donald said he found out on the 10th hole that he had made the squad.
I found out after 10 holes on Sunday at the Barclays, though. I was going along nicely, out in 28, then I found out – and I wen ...

While Corey Pavin was announcing his four captain's pick for the 2010 Ryder Cup team, Jim Gray held a quiet press conference at the nearby NASDAQ stock exchange to say, I told you so! to all who questioned his claim that Tiger Woods would make the Ryder Cup team.
It just feel so good, you know?, Gray said after unveiling a celebratory banner which will hang from his garage for the weeks leading into the exhibition at Celtic Manor.

by Ryan Ballengee
At the New York Stock Exchange - the home to risk taking of epic proportions - on Tuesday morning, US Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin made the four picks that would round out his team seeking to win the road game at Celtic Manor in a month's time.
Pavin selected Tiger Woods, Stewart Cink, Zach Johnson, and rookie Rickie Fowler to make the team.
These four join Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk, Matt Kuchar, Jeff Overton, Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, and Dustin Johnson - the eight automatic ...

Pavin's Picks: Woods, Johnson, Cink, and ...Fowler ...
1 day ago
by Ryan Ballengee
After Charley Hoffman took down the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday evening, there was brief speculation that he could slide into the fourth - and lone questioned - captain's pick for Corey Pavin.
The prevailing sentiment, though, was that it was probably not good enough to oust either JB Holmes or Rickie Fowler from their perches. Holmes as a pivotal part of the '08 squad and Fowler having the endorsement of Phil Mickelson, Pavin had strong cases for each going into Boston.
Perhaps we now ...

Golf Hawk Down

Days after Hubbie was almost attacked by a hawk on a golf course in New Mexico, he had another run in with different hawk on our home course. I'm virtually certain the New Mexico hawk didn't follow him all the way to Ohio, but I can't prove this point.I first learned about this second hawk encounter on Facebook. Here is his status update:In another personal golfing first, I just watched a hawk land in the fairway, pick up my ball, and fly away. He only made it about 30 yards. I chased it off ...

This summer Hubbie had some very curious adventures on the golf course.First, he was hit in the noggin with a long-drive golf ball.

Key Move: Press Forearms Together
14 hours ago
by John
Keeping the forearms pressed together won't guarantee a great golf shot, but not doing this almost always guarantees trouble. The concept works for short shots and putts as well as the full swing. Add this to your list of quick checks when you're in the middle of a round trying to figure out why you've gotten off-track.

I Wish Corey Had Chosen Charlie

Looking at tour stats Charlie mostly loses to Stuart except in putts per round and proximity to the hole. For me, the decision comes down to the subjective issues. Charlie is hot, he's never been to the Ryder Cup and I love his 'almost quit golf until this comeback' story. Stuart isn't hot and he's been to the Ryder Cup 4 times.

One was during the full moon, and the other was during the new moon. ...

Located on the glorious sunny side of Kauai, an island with frequent rains, Poipu Bay is a picturesque and challenging Robert Trent Jones, Jr design. The tradewinds keep players honest here, though the final four holes play straight downwind and are a wonderful way to finish the [...]
