Ok gents, i think its time for the wonderful sport of golf to have its own pin up girl. who would it be? Creamer, Wie, Gulbis etc?

Not sure if you folks have ever seen the Masters in HD, but I've had it for the past few years. Don't let anyone tell you there is no difference, because they're lying. That and NFL football are what I bought an HD set for back in 2002.

This is from Steve Bodosh, a Top 100 Golf Teacher from Maryland, in Sports Illustrated... "I'd be a basket case without my belly putter, but the advantage long putters have over normal ones is so huge that long putters should be banned." Anyone else think this guy is off his rocker?

Els and Mickelson, pretty freakin' good!!! Great for Thursday afternoon! Retief and Weir, not too shabby either!!! Great for Friday afternoon!

Even some of the players... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/scorecard/03/31/truth.rumors.golf/index.html

Alright, I know it's questionable to watch women's golf at all, but with Mickelson having a double-digit lead, it's just not that interesting. I've just seen Lorena Ochoa hit consecutive HYBRIDS from 140 yards out of the rough. I don't care how bad they say the lie is, it's the LPGA Tour and the...

Greetings ... Like many others, I was hoping that Camilo Villegas would finish high enough to earn a Masters invitation. Yes, it's true that Augusta National could still invite him via the special category of "International Player not otherwise eligible". But do you know what would be...

With all the talk about Villegas, I'm wondering if there is any 'undiscovered' talent out there, diamonds in the rough if you will, that you'd like to see reach the next level?

Betcha he does well at the Masters, good fro him:thumbsup This was taken from the TorontoSun.com Link

He's killing me man!!!! What is it with him and 4th rounds???? He blew his chance already, so... GO AMES!

Just noticed a great 2nd round for Stephen has put him in a tie for the lead for the moment. Good for him

I just found this on scottycameron.com /// what an intimidating tee shot ! no wonder it's considered one of the toughest holes :)

Greetings ... At another golf discussion site, this question was asked -- "Does anyone know why Bill Haas has not been entered in many events recently? I thought his current status allowed him entry into at least most of the early season events? Just wondering from those who might now if...

Wow what a rough day for Adam.. The worst part could be his new haircut.. While watching live at 17 friday they went over the details for Sergio, Scott and Clarkes bet.. They said that if one of them shot over 80 they had to shave their head! Look forward to seeing if Adam follows through..

Did you witness the ugly 2nd round that DLIII had at the Players? Man he was chopping it around. He will join Rod Pampling in the history books (although the Players is not a Major, it might as well be) for leading and missing the cut as Pampling did in The Open Championship. I saw Love on one...

Tiger has left the building... http://www.firstcoastnews.com/sports/news-article.aspx?storyid=54240 May be worth watching the tournament this weekend then, hehehe

WOW, talk about a crazy round! Mike Weir is having a birdy-bogey type day too!!! I love the Players!!!

Follow the link at Pgatour.com to get streaming video from #17 at the Players. My man Jesper is next up(wearing a tie again:thumbsup ). Estes just had a 7.

Greetings ... UPDATE -- For the latest reports on Tiger Woods' Wednesday absence from the Players course, go to this YAHOO! News Service Search Link. Put in either Tiger Woods or Earl Woods, and sift thru the results. Click-on here for the 2006 Players Championship Media Links and Purse Info...

There is no way to describe what happened to Greg Owen on the 17th hole at Bay Hill other than one word. UGLY:eye-poppi My god to watch a Pro do what he did with those putts was awful. Then on 18 he lips out again. It took a lot of class for him to talk to Roger Maltby as he walked off the 18th...

What is the lowest you think a pro could shoot at the canadian from the second tees (the ones I play). 4 par fives all under 500 yards... I might sound retaded saying this but I honestly thing a long hitting pro could eagle pretty much all 4 holes... long drive, short wedge shot to the green but to...

How is this even possible??? At the ripe old age of three Tiger shot 48 for nine holes and was featured in Golf Digest at age five. How does a 3 year old shoot a 48 on nine holes? What tees? Following all the rules?

:thumbsdow This big purple overlay is the stupidest thing since the highlighted puck. In some cases you can't even see the ball on the fairway. I really hope they lose it soon.

I just noticed that this past week's winner of the Fantasy Golf Pool no longer appears on the lieaderboard. Does anyone know what happened? When I looked at the board this morning that person had jumped into the top 10 from way back. Now I can't find him or the usual highlighted score the weekly...

Tiger was the 7th last group to tee off this morning so his group will the 7th group to tee off tomorrow. Villegas on the other hand was in the first group to get out and will be going last tomorrow. Question is, it is easier to play at 8am or at noon? Or at that level does it not matter? ...

Greetings ... Here are the scheduled round-one brackets for the 2006 Accenture Match Play. Let's start with the Ben Hogan Bracket. The ultimate would be an Els-Mickelson showdown in the quarters, or perhaps Els and Michael Campbell. Besides Campbell, Mike Weir, Stewart Cink and Fred Funk loom...

Thats right kids.... Steve Elkington made bogey from the bunker on the ninth hole. Kevin Na made consecutive bogeys, then Jesper Parnevik -- the Swede who set up Woods with his wife -- made four consecutive bogeys. That combination bumped the cut to 1 over, and set up a dynamic pairing of Woods...

It did not take long for Cobra to take advantage of J.B.'s recent success at FBR, I saw the new commercial showing JB's long drives at his recent win. I guess there will be a rush for the big snake. On Grey Goose last night they talked about JB's name change from John Holmes so as to distinguish...

After round 1, Mike is second at -9 having made 10 birdies at the Pebble Beach Golf Links course. Can he keep it up? I wish him well. Lefty is at -5 and Vijay at -4. Could be a good weekend.

Was anybody else as impressed as I was with JB Holmes at the FBR Open, especially as to the way he handled himself on Sunday. I liked the story McCord threw out there about bringing Freddie Couples out to see him hit balls at the driving range (which apparently was 370 yards deep) Freddie watched...

How rude is this guy in the article posted at the url below. First off he played through without asking, plus his bunker play really needs some work :laughing: http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=2320988

Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus will compete at a promotional golf tournament at Dundarave this summer. The event, billed as Legends of Golf, does not come cheaply. It's expected to cost about $1.5 million, about $500,000 of which will be picked up by taxpayers. Premier Pat Binns believes...

Anyone else think this is going to be one of the finest shows to hit the golf channel? I personally caan't wait to see it. Also on Tuesday all star big break; should be good.

So, after the first round, Tiger is first in driving distance (326 yards: compare to, for example, John Daly's 300 yards) and dead last in accruacy (1/14 fairways). Incidently, he is tied for 57th, and better improve today or he will be watching on the weekend. I know that you may have to...

Greetings ... Imagine that you are a PGA Tour professional, and you have just put yourself among the Low 70 Scorers, plus any ties, after the first 36 holes (or 54 if Pebble Beach, or 72 if Bob Hope) of this week's tournament. But just as soon as you sign your scorecard, some official comes...

Greetings ... Because of a 2003 incident (click-on here to read story) , 2005 US Open champion Michael Campbell is on restricted PGA Tour status until the end of 2008. Being limited to only 10 starts per year is bad enough. But consider what the count of 10 includes - The four Grand Slam...

Time to talk golf for a change in here guys.:cool Maybe it's a sign of things to come for some of our favorites this week at the Bob Hope Classic:-) After last week's 63, David Duval shoots another sub par round with a 3 under 69 :thumbsup Mike Weir got off to a good start with 6...

Greetings ... A PGA Tour player (he's also an about-to-be-out-of-work TV analyst), a former USGA exec and an online sports journalist each offer opinions on both the 2007 PGA Tour -AND- the new TV deals. Paul Azinger (from CNN-SI) Frank Hannigan (from Golf Observer) Gary Van Sickle...

I just read that Mike Weir will be paired with Alice Cooper, Justin Timberlake (didn't know he could golf) and Darius Rucker for the first round of the Bob Hope Classic on Wednesday. Now I just hope Mike doesn't embarass himself by shooting a higher score than Alice:hyper: Do the celebs & tour...

This has to be encouraging for Duval, makes only one cut last year and today shoots a 63 in the final round of the Sony. Rounds of 75-68-72-63. :thumbsup

John Daly has dropped Hooters as one of his endorsements because his wife didn't like his being associated with that type of bussiness. After all she put him through and he stood by her and now she's she gets in his face about something like this. That's gratitute for you. Daly and Hooters were...

I was watching golf channel when the scroll said, golf channel exclusive cable tv carrier starting 2007. Their site says they will be the biggest. However on another site, someone posted a link to espn that says nbc and cbs are the big winners. I am confused. Who is the big winner? Cheers,...

Did anyone else see all the participants for Big Break V on TGC over the weekend? Anyone have a 'favorite' yet?

Did anyone else see the French Open on the Golf Channel this weekend? Jean Van De Velde played himself into contention on Sunday. From what I saw he was playing well, just couldn't really get the putting going. I was rooting for the guy. I really was. I mean it must be tough to live the with...

BY JEFF SHAIN Miami Herald You're in, kid -- from the start. Morgan Pressel got the news she had been hoping for Monday, receiving word the LPGA will grant her full membership for the entire 2006 season instead of making her wait until her 18th birthday. LPGA commissioner Carolyn Bivens...

I really enjoyed the Els/Goosen Battle in the final round of teh RSA Open on Sunday (well Sunday morning on the golf channel) Anyone else catch this stretch battle?
