I like this tournament. The modified Stableford system rewards well-played risky shot-making, and I enjoy watching that. Now, if all tournaments were this way, it would definately bet boring, but once a year, in my opinion, is fun. Oh, and it is good to see Greg Norman playing. I hope he...

I went to the practice round at the CN Open today. Had lots of fun, met Harry from TOUR IQ. We walked around and took some photos, Harry bought a flag and got some great autographs. All of the ladies were more than willing to sign anything you asked them too. Other than Laurie Kane, don't ask her...

This came out when I was on vacation, apologies if it has been discussed before... For all of us who thought that the women's world ranking was out of wack (most glaringly, ranking Michelle Wie 2nd in the world) when it first came out in February, seems like they may have made the necessary...

Greetings .... The PGA of America has published the (click-on here »») PGA Championship field David Duval, not otherwise eligible, has been granted a special invitation. :thumbsup The winner of the International, if not otherwise eligible, will join the field.

WOW MIKE WEIR GOES CRAZY at the Buick Open today in Michigan. MINUS NINE, yep -9 folks. On the back 9 he strung together 5 birdies in a row for a smooth backside 31. 32 on the front. Now can he maintain that pace? Let's hope so. :-)

By shooting his number 3 days in a row. 66, 66, 66 for an 18 under. Tiger with a 2 stroke lead on a course with lots of birdies.... tomorrow is giong to be fun to watch!

Where did the thread about the International go? :confused

I heard an interview on CBC's As It Happens last night with a guy in New Brunswick who made 2 aces in the same round recently. The official odds for this happening are 67,000,000 to 1, according to Golf Digest. I tried to find the story in print but no luck. It'll probably be available at...

Women get their due Although the first competitive women's golf circuit was established in the 1890s, it wasn't until the mid-20th century that female golfers finally got their due: the founding of the Women's Professional Golf Association (WPGA) in 1944. Ladies Professional Golf Association...

She is 9 under and tied with webb and Ochoa.. shot a 6 under today. Could this be it? Her first win?? I sure as hell hope so. Looks like you all got your wish, the wie hype has died down. But if she gets her first win... all the hype about her will be 10 fold and you won't be able to change...

Corey Pavin at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee is 8 under in his front 9. He’s out in 26 shots. Maybe a new record in the works. http://www.pgatour.com/players/scorecard/132090/r029/2006 Mike

My favourite golf tournament is being held this week. The Open Championship. I love watching this tournament. You get to see so many different shots being played. If the wind gets howling as it should then the play really becomes exciting. The 135th Open Championship will be contested at Royal...

So I saw a pool on the TGN site, but since I don't have confidence in it being fixed (they want people to contribute a sleeve of high end balls each) so I thought hey, why not do the same here, but with no prize except BRAGGING RIGHTS! So using their same format, everyone here fill out the...

I came across this, thought it was interesting :) Hooters Tour Players Aces 357-Yard Hole BLYTHEVILLE, Ark. -- Australia's Andrew Tschudin made a hole-in-one on the 357-yard, par-4 15th hole en route to a 9-under 63 and the first-round lead Thursday in the Hooters Tour's Thunder Bayou Classic. ...

Happy to see him up in the mix of things!!! First he finnishes 16th at the US open and now is tied for 22nd (one stroke out of T9) going into the weekend ad the British open. I hope he puts up a good two final rounds at the open and it carries over to the next few tourneys. How does it work...

Are there any live feeds from the British ??

All eyes on the British Open this weekend! Any predictions? My two cents: Aside from the "Fab Five", I think a couple dangerous names could be... - David Howell - When he's on his game, look out - Collin Montgomerie - So close, so many times, but Winged Foot will either sink him...

+6 / 77 T-149 out of 153 Darn, too bad. What REALLY gets me is all the gushing that the commentators did on USA. Unfortunately, they refused to call a spade a spade...and even went so far as to say the round "really could have gotten away from her." :biting: I thought that it DID get...

Greetings .... In 2007, they tell us that we will be seeing the Fed Ex Cup Playoffs conducted as a four-week four-event stroke play affair. Have any of you speculated on the fact that we will NOT be seeing the Fed Ex Cup playoffs conducted as a one-week one-event match play affair? I'm...

:Canadian :groupwave

So I watched the post comments at the open thinking how much I don't like phony phil. But he keeps talking and very honest and hard on himself. I begin to see a chink in my opinion. Then I watch the GC last nite and see him subject himselft to the same harsh questions over and over. But guess...

Well, it’s a sad day to see Funky go over to the Seniors. :confusedThat means we’re all getting up there. He’ll do good, in fact he’s favored to win the Ford Players Championship this week.:-) A lot of people are predicting Ryan Moore and Zach J. at the John Deere. I like Billy Mayfair. He’s...

Regarding Tiger at the Cialis Western Open………………. <o:p> </o:p> Well, anybody got any salt, pepper and <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Tabasco</st1:place></st1:State> and I’ll start eating my words. At least I’ll make them edible.:biting: <o:p> </o:p> Tiger did well, and...

Greetings ... Recently, CNN-SI's Gary Van Sickle posted an article called "If I were PGA Tour Commissioner for a Day". I will refrain from offering comment on Mr. Van Sickle's suggestions, although all of you out there are welcome to offer your own opinions. As for me, here's a list of...

Lorie Kane :canada defeated Natalie Gulbis 3 and 2 yesterday to advance to the next round of the Women's World Match Play Championship where she will face Se Ri Pak. Go get 'em, Lorie. :cheers

Gotta love the sponsor first of all! :laughing: Great field! Tiger is playing, and so is Mick. 22 out of the top 30 money winners. Furyk won last year. Par 71, 7,300 yards. Good Lord. Any predictions?

Fred Funk will tee it up this week on the Champions Tour for the U.S. Open. It will be interesting to see how well he does against the rest of the field. http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=15100&select=19667

So what's your predictions? Big wiesey with 1st win speech? Big wiesey wit "I lost but am happy with myself" speech? Karrie Webb reborn? Annika back on track? First timer pushing at the door? i.e. Gulbis etc.

Greetings and Happy 4th of July Holiday Everyone .... It was part of the answer to the very first question in a PGA Tour Fed Ex Cup Q and A Session. The PGA Tour "defended" their decision not to apply heavier weighting to points values for the four major championships plus the Players...

Well she had a share of the lead and is now one shot back as I write this. For those of you who said she didn't deserve all the exemptions she gets because she is has never won on tour, how would your opinion of her and her exemptions change if she were to win? Even if she didn't win, the kid...

Greetings ... Whether you love him or hate him, Johnny Miller is here to stay. According to this 6-14-2006 USA Today article, Miller will stay at NBC for a while, calling 14 events (up from nine) a year. There was an interesting quote from Miller "To be totally honest, the lure of doing...

Just wondering if PGA exemptions are cumulative? If someone wins two majors in the same year, are they exempt for 10 years(5 years for each major) or just 5 years?

I am a lefty so naturally I love watching Phil play. Not crazy about him but he is a great player. It was refreshing to hear him say "I am such an idiot" after the 18th hole choke. I could not beleive my eyes when I saw him pull out the driver on 18. I mean, he is usually pretty smart and he...

If Phil somehow manages to win the US open, it should go down as the luckiest win in History. Yes he managed to get up and down all day, but my God he has had a lot of good breaks.....in the garbage can, off of the hospitality tent. He's hit it so wild that he was past all of the trouble and...

Just saw some of the scores posted on TGC. Duval shot a 68 today. What????? I hope the Duval of recent times has gone away for good and he gets back to the level we are used to seeing him at. After today's round, I will be rooting on Duval throughout the weekend. Would love to see him make a run at...

....in the fairway on 18, par will put pressure on Mickelson, waits ages for the green to clear, changes his mind about what club to hit and comes up short, eventually 3 putting and carding a last hole double..... ....then Phil goes out and "craps the bed", a simple par would have won Monty his...

For those who are around home today and tomorrow there is plenty of US OPEN coverage on TSN. Starting today at 9:30 AM with a preview and then on the air at 10AM. It appears that the broadcast will continue all day right up to 7PM. Sweeeeeeeeet I just checked the early scores, David Toms doubled...

My prediction is he'll make the cut, barely. I think it's still too soon after Earl's death for him to go out and win such a big tournament. I think he'll be okay for the PGA in August.

Anyone have a link for live coverage? I need something to do at work today :laughing:

Ok I know we don't need more controversial threads about Michele Wie but.. I am watchin Greay Goose 19th hole on the eve of arguably the biggest tournament of the year and they are talking about her!! Common..

Lost in all the Michelle Wie hype was the fact that a 15 year old has made it into the US Open. Another Hawaiian child prodigy? Hopefully he plays well. http://www.golfweb.com/tournaments/usopen/story/9492208

I will prob get a lot of flack for this but... I know shes young etc etc .. But I think shes a choker.. She cannot finish... She has let both womens majors slip through her fingers this year... I just think when the pressure is on she chokes.. I know shes young and with age will come experience......

Greetings ... What if Michelle Wie had won the LPGA Championship? Indeed, what if she were to win any official event in 2006? Well, maybe after such a victory, the LPGA would then grant Ms. Wie regular membership. However, since the win would have been as a non-member, then Michelle would...

She got through the first step, now she has to get through the 36 hole sectional qualifier in New Jersey on June 5th. Her getting through the first round of qualifying is very impressive by the way. I don't know the field for this sectional qualifier yet, but when I find out I'll post it.

I was watching TGC today during the Nationwide event from Chicago. Casey Martin is playing and after his round he was interviewed. He has been hired as the Golf Coach for one of the Oregon Universities. Good for him, as it appears his playing days are coming to an end due to his health. Nice to...

Greetings .... Just thought I'd have some fun here. Have you ever thought about what a US Open might be like played close to the Artic Circle? With constant daylight, the field could be greatly expanded, and the Sunday Finish would extend well into Prime Time. Here's a little example of a...

Did you guy's see the headlines: Hawaiian phenom teenager makes the US open thru qualifying!!!! Yeah? I missed it. But I did read it today and its no joke. See below. 15-year-old Tadd Fujikawa qualified for the U.S. Open yesterday. I'm talking about Tadd Fujikawa, the 15-year-old freshman...
