PGA Tour player Kevin Na won a Nationwide Tour event on his home course Sunday, closing with a 2-under 69 for a three-stroke victory in the Mark Christopher Charity Classic. More...

Nice to see Padraig win this weekend. Four solid rounds 66,69,68,68 over 3 links courses, Kingsbarns, Carnoustie and St Andrews. Cheers:thumbsup

Plus, outright 36-hole leaders often go on to win in Greensboro, defending champ K.J. Choi had two streaks snapped, and more. More...

Does anyone know what the current handicaps are for PGA tour pros? With so many good scratch golfers around I would like to know what kind of handicaps the pros have because they must really be something. I'd love to see a pro come and humiliate my home course. Just to exact a measure of revenge...

Think twice before buying new irons and wedges. It APPEARS that the USGA, in an effort to stop the "smash and gouge" play of the PGA Tour, will outlaw U-grooves in wedges and irons. See below: Article from http://www.wishongolf.com/etechreport/2006/september/index.html#art2 Are the Days of...

Tiger does not seem to be rattled by his Ryder Cup loss. He is leading the AMC with an impressive 8 under 63. Mike

Great man, who did a lot for the game of golf. He will be missed. http://www.tsn.ca/golf/news_story/?ID=178898&hubname=

Please help me settle a $100 bet. Last night a buddy and I made a bet about PGA players and holes in one. He contends that they are so common to Pros that the top 30 on the money list currently have at least 5 each. The holes in one don't necessarily have had to occur in tournament play. ...

Tiger blows a fuse and smashes a car with an iron: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/71362/bad_tiger/ :-)

There's a 50th anniversary tribute to the 1956 US Women's Amateur match between Marlene Stewart-Streit and Joanne Carner on the main page of the USGA website. Stewart-Streit came from 4 down with 11 holes to play to win 2 and 1, becoming the first Canadian to win the women's amateur, and only the...

What are these "comments" everyone is talking about? I was watching TGC last night and at every commercial they said "Up next, Johnny Miller's comments...." but I never saw them. Fell asleep. Can anyone give me the Cole's notes version or supply a link? Thanks.

Anyone know why the PGA isn't on TV today? :mad;

Well since no one has bit at posting this thread yet, and we haven't had our usual supply of wie lovers vs bashers in awhile. I submit for your humble pleasure, that the woman who has won no professional event on either pga or lpga, nor done more in a mens event than make the cut in an obscure...

I had goosebumps reading this story: http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=hamilton/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1157580611569&call_pageid=1020420665036&col=1014656511815

It appears that weather might play a major role in this years Ryder Cup at The K Club. Yesterdays morning practice rounds were called off due to high winds. 40 MPH winds blew early prompting organizers to bring everyone in off the course ( I play in winds like that at my course :laughing:...

Unbelievable story...he still shot a 13-over par 84 for the round. http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=2598383 As a guy who can't break 100, I think that my highest score on one hole is 15. Dave

With the Ryder Cup Matches coming up next week who are you picking to win, or who would you like to win? This years venue is on a course that really gives no advantage to either team. The K Club is basically like many typical courses played on the PGA. Both teams have vast experience playing on...

Looks like she's going to finish dead last in the Mens European tour event this week. If she can compete with the men, then I'm all for her trying to make it on the PGA tour. However, that doesn't really seem to be the case. I think it's time for her to focus on the LPGA. MJF

Nice opening round for Mr. Furyk. A solid 63. Well done.:thumbsup Some well knowns on the first couple of pages of the leaderboard.

Professional Golf Predictions: How many majors will Tiger win? Will Mike Weir win an event? Will Michelle Wie win an LPGA event? How many LPGA majors will Annika win? Will David Duval be back to the old David Duval? Who will lead the money list? Ottawa Golf Predictions:

Check this out, snipped from the globeandmail.com: YOUTH IS SERVED: The latest teenager to make a splash is Gipper Finau, a 16-year-old from Salt Lake City, who earned a spot in the Nationwide Tour event last week by shooting 63 in the Monday qualifier, then became the youngest player in that...

So, mid-way in the first round 36-hole matches: Furyk is 5-down to Karlsson, through 19. Woods is 2-down to Micheel through 19. Mike is 2-up on Scott through 21. I wish I was home today. :(

Nice to see the field coming together for this years Canadian Open at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Ancaster, Ontario. There was a news conference earleir in the week that announced that 14 of the PGA Tour winners this year would be attending the tournament they included: J.B. Holmes (FBR)...

Hey guys. I was at the Open yesterday and snapped a couple of pics. Feel free to check them out! Canadian Open Pics

Well, it is 5 in a row and counting. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup Tiger (63) beat Vijay (68) by 2 after training by 3 at the start of the day. Who is going to step up and beat this guy? :scratchch

why are they only in round 3? was there a rain delay? Will they make it up tomorrow? Second question, why is no one talking about tiger? going for his 5th straight win! Golf is a game where the best player doesn't always win. Usually about 20-25 percent of their events but tiger is on...

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.

http://tigerwoodsisgod.com/index.php Dunno if this is a joke or not... I sincerely hope so!!!

Well, since he's 2/3 of the way to Jack's record, and world #1 by a mile, what do you think is Tiger's most impressive stretch of golf so far? 1991-1996: Won 6 consecutive USGA championships (3 Junior Amateurs, 3 Amateurs). Won NCAA men's individual championship (1996). Tied British Open record...

Holy toledo, talk about the potential for the best finish of all time. I just tuned in at 3pm, haven't seen Mike Weir yet even though he's -7. Have they showed him yet??? By the way, I've said it before, but HD RULES!

OK guys -I know this is getting boring; but will he do it again? :-) :-) :-) If I knew how to do a graph-I would but I dont-so there! :P

Oops. I'll try again in 5 min...

I know it is the "other" tournament this week, but who is Will Mackenzie? -7 on the four par 5s yesterday - 3 eagles and a birdie! http://pgatour.com/players/scorecard/468816/r472/2006 Wow!

With Tiger's victory at the PGA he's 2/3 of the way to tying Jack's record of 18 professional majors. The CBS guys were surmising at which major venue would he break the record, and this got me to thinking...:scratchch Let's say that Tiger is is on schedule to win #19 at one of the big...

OK, I can see Cink here as he was #12 on the Ryder Cup Points list for the Americans but Verplank was #20!! :scratchch A lot of quality guys were above him on the list like: Brett Wetterich (??) John Rollins (??) Jerry Kelly (swings a hammer well) Lucas Glover (young gun who is...

Dave sez : "When Phil's at his best, I'm thinking nobody can beat him," said Pelz. Asked if that included Woods, Pelz decided to elaborate, at the risk of providing unnecessary bulletin-board fodder for the Woods camp. "You bet it does," said Pelz. "If Phil's long swing is good, his short...

For those who had and still have doubts. Tiger will own the record books before he reaches 20 years on the tour. This guy does not seem to quit. He changes his swing. Critics said he would never be as dominant. It’s hard to see a weakness in his game now. He wins three in a row included two majors....

Who is the worst golfer to ever win a major?

He's having one hell of a fantasy golf week so far. 12 birdies and one eagle. Of course, that goes with 4 bogeys and a triple bogey. Kind of like one of my rounds, except replace the birdies with bogeys, and the bogeys with pars. The eagle, well, maybe when pigs fly. Can't figure out if Davis...

I am rapidly becoming a Geoff Ogilvie fan. I admit that I haven't seen a lot of him prior to the US Open, and before now he was further down the Australian depth chart, but he has certainly gotten his nose dirty with Tiger and Phil over the first 2 rounds and come up smelling like a rose. I really...

Who will be more on his game for the first two rounds this week? Who is more suited to play against the other? Will they try too hard because they play in the same group? Will they step out of their game plan? It’s going to be an interesting match up for sure.
