Much has been made about the new groove rule in effect this year. Just when the story seems to be dying down more fuel gets added to the fire (see Hunter Mahan's win last week). From discussing it with some players as well as reading the numerous articles that have been done on it, playing with the read more »
Some of you may recognize Justin Peters from the very first season of The Big Break challenge on The Golf Channel in 2003. Justin was the inaugural champion and ever since has been hard at work on his game to try and get to that next level. I actually first met Justin almost 18 years ago while playi read more »
I recently read an article by Frazier Moore (AP Television writer) about how golf television coverage can survive in Tiger's absence. He cited CBS News and Sports president Sean McManus saying "We’re all looking forward to him coming back, but until then we’re doing perfectly fine". read more »
For fans of the Golf Channel's Big Break, Mike Perez needs no introduction. This was my first season really watching the show, and my first thought during the premiere was, "Who do you have to know to get on this show?" There was former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani's son (Andrew), famous soap o read more »
There are certainly no shortage of guys hoping to make their way on to the PGA Tour. But I believe few have as an interesting back story as Matthew Lombardo. I recently "met" Matthew through Twitter and was instantly intrigued with his background and journey thus far in the golf world. read more »
Last July at the 2009 British Open, Tom Watson reminded us that age is just a number. He came within just one misjudged club selection of raising the Claret Jug. Watson was thinking about hitting a 9-iron from the middle of the fairway, but then settled on an 8-iron. The ball soared right read more »

While following the Farmers Insurance Open this past week and weekend I couldn't help but notice a few things I felt the need to point out. read more »
It seems our good friend Phil, or as some are calling him this week, "The Tour Savior" is ruffling some feathers already after only being back for a total of 18 holes. Phil has decided to put in to play a Ping wedge that falls through the loophole of the new groove rule that was put in to effect thi read more »
Throughout the season I'll be checking in with PGA Tour rookie Chris Wilson as he gives us an inside look as to what tour life is like for a rookie. I first did an interview with Chris via Twitter about a month ago after he earned his card, and now that he has a couple of tournaments read more »
Yesterday Ken Green announced on his blog that his youngest son, Hunter, had passed away in his dorm room at SMU. Apparently Hunter had actually died the week prior but Green’s ex-wife had kept the news from him until just yesterday. As a parent, I can’t imagine the anger and hurt h read more »
I recently read a blog post basically stating that following around a has-been like John Daly, who isn’t the most perfect role model for the sport, is not what golf needs right now. I have to completely disagree with that blogger. I on the other hand think it’s exactly what golf nee read more »
Growing up in Bridgewater, MA I've had the opportunity to play Olde Scotland a number of times. Olde Scotland is a well cared for municipal course where you can typically count on soft fairways, tricky pin placements, large undulating greens and lots of wind. read more »
