Anybody else think that the RBC Canadian open is incredibly boring and really is a non event in the golf world? Seriously, not a lot of big names playing and course playing way too easy for pros. US open is known for long rough and narrow fairways, British open known for links course and...

He's got a weird style, did his shoes even have spikes?

Does anyone know why Couples is wearing spike less shoes? They look like 30 dollar running shoes. I can't imagine playing without spikes especially in wet conditions like yesterday.

Did anyone see the bird Poulter gave the fans as golf channel went to break? :laughing::laughing:

Well it seems Michelle Wie is right near the top again, and so is Annika Sorenstam. This weekend should be a big weekend for womens golf, could be huge. I'm rooting for both of them, and if Michelle does win then that definately puts to rest my theory about her going the wrong way with taking...

I was watching Sportsnet News this morning, and they had one of their viewer polls asking what sports feat is the hardest. Winning the Grand Slam of Golf was one, and scoring 50 goals in 50 games was another, there were a few others, but most were just kind of trivial. Anyways, the viewers...

I was sitting at work today not working (obviously) just thinking. I'm 21 years old and in my life I have seen some sports moments that will live in history and that I will someday relate to grand nephews and neices, no kids of my own thank you. I just figured that I'd write a few of my memories...

I know this has been covered before, but I just picked up my new LCD yesterday, and got the HD service today for the final round, and all I can say is WOW. If you have an opportunity to watch it in HD, do it. absolutely amazing pictures from the course.

I got to watch Phil clean up in that tournyment he won by like 30 strokes last year. There was all this talk about him versus Tiger, and everyone in the know went the way of Phil can play some stellar golf, but if they are both on, Tiger's going to win. I'm not so sure... Watching Phil that day...

are normal users allowed to start threads here? :eek: Watching whatever the current tourney is, Tommy's tied for the lead. I remember watching that big break, I remember him saying he thought he was the best golfer on the show, I thought he was right wether or not he should have said that. ...

hahaha... sorry

What a class act tho... https://youtu.be/cGztH20kfOw

That had to be one of the most interesting holes I've seen. A drive like we have all hit before making you think 'wow they are human'. But wait...how many of us have hit second shot driver off the deck to the sand only to make a 20' putt to save par. I actualy laughed when I saw it.

...Thank you Jack...

Is it just me or are you guys tired of the coverage Tiger is getting, it was all about Tiger, what he did yesterday, what he did the hole before, what he had for breakfast, what color underwear he had on...blah, blah, blah...what about the rest of the great players? Dont get me wrong, I'm the...

I have been trying to come up with a reason why PGA Tour players even make their way to this event anymore, sure it's one of the oldest events around, not good enough to be considered a MAJOR, though it should be. In the next few years they are supposed to change the schedule to get out of being...

Rory Mcllroy is back in the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Mcllroy won a three-shot victory, raced past Henrik Stenson and Bryson DeChambeau with his final-round 64th shot; this is his first victory on the PGA Tour after 18 months. With...

I am surprised that only two guys clear 300 yards in average drive stats. http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/info/?02409:shhh:

Why!? Is he too good for the soft spikes that are mandatory at pretty much every course? Just curious because as far as I knew, most PGA players had changed over.

The guy taps in his putt, then horks a big loogey in the cup after he removes his ball from the hole. Can't say that's the classiest thing I've ever seen on National TV.:irked:

He's 3rd in driving accuracy and 8th in driving distance as we speak. Anyone think we can thank the FT-5 for this impressive stat? This is the first time I've seen him hit solid iron shots in a long time.

At the WGC? Tiger is leading of course, but the rest of the field is realtively close. If nobody is going to catch Tiger, then who for number two? Personally, I'd love to see Els get up there, but it seems he is back to his old ways as far as finishing goes. Second on my list is Vijay.

Els and Mickelson are choking HARD on the front nine today at the Masters. Must be those damn X-Forged irons.:hissyfit:

He said he re-aggravated his wrist that he hurt chipping at Oakmont last week. I hope Els keeps playing the way he is. He's -6 right now and one off the lead.:thumbsup

HAHAH!! He is hilarious to listen to. He just said that Fowler's hat does nothing for him, and when you see him with his ears tucked into his hat, you have to wonder what's going on there... HAHAHAHAH!!! Couldn't agree more! Then he said Tiger's shoes were, "flamboyant"! Always nice...

I'm watching the "Bonus Coverage" on TSN.ca this morning. They're following Watson, Kaymer, and Rory. So no back and forth between groups or commercial breaks. I was noticing they had been waiting a long time on the tee, so for fun, I timed a few of them. One was over 7 minutes, the next close...

Here's hoping the King is okay. http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golftalkcentral/arnold-palmer-taken-to-hospital/

I'm in a pool on another forum, that I think puts the yahoo fantasy pool to shame. If anyone is interested I could set up a private pool for Ottawa Golf Forum. Some notes about the pool: - Pick 10 players each week. - The pool leaderborad updates in real time, so you can see the pool...

A new web site just popped up: http://tigerwoodsisgod.com/index.php You can even become a church member and follow The Ten Commandments :lmfao When Tiger was at a recent press conference: On the Web site TigerWoodsIsGod.com I am so far away from that .

Before I get to this week's topic, let me say that if you missed this past weekend's tournament, you missed one of the strangest finishes I have ever seen. I don't think that I have ever seen a player on the final hole needing a six to win, taking an eight. The fact that it happened to a 17 year...

Stats & Facts - Volume 12 Let me start off my congratulating Stacy Lewis for winning the HSBC Women's Champions. Stacy, the defending LPGA Player of the Year, came out on top with a one stroke victory over NaYeon Choi. Paula Creamer finished two strokes back. See the Constructivist's review...

Just returned from The Marathon Classic in Sylvania Ohio. As has been the case in just about every tournament this year, it went down to the very Last shot. Beatriz Recari sank her four foot par putt on the 72nd hole to come out victorious by one shot over Paula Creamer. I followed the final group,...

Back in July I sat down here and wrote who I thought were my Biggest Surprises & Disappointments of the 2013 season. The LPGA had only played 15 of the 28 tournaments on the schedule at that point, a lot has changed since then. Now that the season has ended, it is time to take a final look. ...

Natalie Gulbis Ties the Knot It has been a big week for LPGA announcements. Just a few days after Paula Creamer announced her engagement, Natalie Gulbis has gotten married. The 29 year old Gulbis was married yesterday to former Yale quarterback Josh Rodarmel. Here are some photo's of the...

Way back in January, before the LPGA season began, I listed 10 questions that I hoped would be answered this year. Below I have shown those questions again. Let's see how well those questions were answered: http://www.tonyslpgareport.com/2013/12/how-well-were-my-pre-season-questions.html

As we wait for the 2014 season to begin (we are about three weeks away), it gives me a little time to look back at the players that made the biggest moves in the Rolex Rankings in 2013. The Rolex Rankings system awards points to players based on an accumulated 104-week "rolling" period, with...

This week the LPGA takes a break from its official tournament schedule, for the playing of the International Crown. This is a biennial event that will take place in even numbered years, as opposed to the Solheim Cup's odd numbered years. It is a global matchplay competition that will feature 8...
