I just returned from a week of golf in Scotland. Dissapointed in the condition of the courses. Carnoustie was the best condition and St. Andrews next of the six courses I played. Both well below what I would consider top rated courses. Costs were upwards to $200 for 18 holes. Amenities on the...

AUGUST 2003 - BELL CANADIAN OPEN UPDATE A TALENTED FIELD GETS EVEN TOUGHER The fairways are lush and green, the rough is long and thick and the greens are groomed to perfection. It all adds up to only one thing - the 2003 Bell Canadian Open is almost here! With tee times fast approaching,...

Anyone know why Nick Price pulled out of the Deutsche Bank tournament this weekend? Thought he would pull me out of my slow slide to oblivion, but he simply accelerated it. Oh well, at least the next three days will be sunny and bright and I will not be pulling out of my matches!

How does this happen Mike Weir's World ranking stays at 6 this week. Nothing against Jim Furyk but he moves up in the standings--from 5th to 4th--after placing 11 spots behind Weir at the PGA Championship. Doesn't it make sense that Weir should be ahead of him. Since Weir also has more event wins...

Interesting debate on the PGA site about Mike Weir vs Jim Furyk as the favourites for the Player of the Year honours: http://www.pgatour.com/u/ce/feature/0,1977,6520023,00.html They are inviting comments from fans via email. Guess we can figure out who most of the people on this forum would...

See today's "Calgary Herald" You have to admire the marketing ingenuity of the people at Springbank Links. And we're not saying that just because one of our Stampede chuckwagon TV partners happens to be married to the owner's son and general manager of the 18-hole semi-private course. ...

Was just reading through the TSN website and came across the following article about a Cdn gal at the US Women's Amateur. http://www.tsn.ca/golf/news_story.asp?id=49814 The funny thing is I went to high school with her brother in Mtl. I grew up in Kirkland, the same town as Lisa, played...

Looks like his wife is not too swift! In the States, if you make a deposit of $10,000 or more, it has to be reported. So Daly's wife deposits just under 10K 47 TIMES!!!! Hmmm I wonder if that would raise any red flags!!!! LOL http://www.tsn.ca/golf/news_Story.asp?ID=49612

On Tuesday -Masters champion Mike Weir and Dean Wilson won the Champions Challenge on Tuesday in a three-team chip-off. Hopefully he can continue his birdieing ways at the International this week. http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=15100&dv=5800980&select=10467

I tried to find the thread on this but couldnt. I guess Phil is the one thats gets the last laugh now that Tiger has gone back to playing his old Titleist driver for more accuracy. I beleive he did say Tiger was off his game because of inferior equipment (Nike).:D :D Yes he is still using...

If the initial scores are any indication, this will be a nail biter. Jerry Kelly opened with an 11 on the first hole and is 9 over after 8 holes. Tiger stumbled out of the gate also, losing his first tee shot and picking up a triple bogey 7 for his effort. And Mike Weir is racking up bogeys like...

Call me crazy but this guy "Joey Sindelar" qualifies for the Open but doesn't go because he wants to play the BC Open. He states "this year's fit wasn't quite right". Hello it's the Open Championship one of the best if not the best tournament. You gotta shake your head, take your family for the...

I'm watching the Open on the French TSN (#41). About 75% more actual golf than on #30!! They must be using the BBC feed.

:walkin European Tour May Play in Canada The European Tour may hold an event in Canada as early as next year, according to Scoregolf.com. Negotiations are ongoing for the European Tour to play in Canada either the week before the U.S. Open or the week before the PGA Championship.. The...

And they have a closest to the pin competition to win a brand new Buick Rainier SUV... How sweet is that? Go to: www.buick.com/tigertrap

If you look on Titleist's web site, it is listed that Ernie Els is using a prototype Titleist driver and 3-wood... Also his Pro-V1's are listed as prototype balls. See: http://www.titleist.com.fr/5507_9731.htm# I wonder why he is allowed to use a prototype club/ball on the tour... ...

Alright guys, I need help. I've been watching the US Open golf coverage on TSN, and Johnny Miller is commenting. My question to those who have been watching.............. what in the world does "discombobulating" mean??? This may not be the correct spelling.:D

VJ doesn't think she should be playing. He feels that she's taking a spot from someone in the field. Scott Hoch wants to see her play well so people will realize "how much separation there is between us and the ladies' tour." Nick Price has said Sorenstam's presence "reeks of publicity." ...

You know you've made it, when....................... Way to go Mike Weir!!!:canada

ATTA BOY MIKE !!!!! Canada's #1 I can hardly type I'm still shaking.

We had this discussion last week and I thought I would post it for you guys too. After one and half rounds being played, 4 of 93 players are under par. Is this good or bad? IMO this is what a major should be. Low scores are at a premium and great players will win. I love seing birdies and...

Good article on Weirsy. One good quote “I have a family. I want to be a good husband and father. Those things are more important to me then missing an event here and there.” http://www.sportsnet.ca/golf/story/10461288035962.shtml?sport=golf&STORY_OID=10461288035962

I think he'd be one of my choices of a current player on the PGA/European Tour to play a round with. He's a heck of a golfer looks likes he's having fun but has the killer instinct, I betcha he could tell some of the best stories being an Irishman. A true gentleman and we could share a nice cigar....

I don't know but I just don't like him. His ****y attitude his whole demeanor. I was hoping Furyk would beat him today(Furyk would of helped me more also in the fantasy pool). As far as PGA pros go there's nothing likeable about him. Am I being to harse.:reallymad
