Fantasy Golf 2012 – Over Before It Began

I have a love/hate relationship with fantasy sports. I recognize the added interest and intrigue fantasy sports add to watching professional sports. Even when your favorite team isn’t performing at a top level – you have something to watch and root for each...

Welcome Back, Professional Golf!

With four tours (two share an event) igniting the 2012 season this weekend, it’s nice to have some quantifiable golf to follow. The PGA Tour of the USA has completed two round in its Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. The Australian Tour picked up after the...

Hello, Winter

The ground is covered with a blanket of snow and it’s as cold outside as Dick Cheney’s heart.  Yes, Old Man Winter has finally decided to visit our fair city. Now, normally I look forward to winter with about the same anticipation as I look forward to a...

New Years Day Golf In Buffalo

Key phrases of the day: We know Scottie~Swing Doctor~Putting White~Two-putted 18 for birdie~February? It’s difficult to be a member of the 12-month club in western New York. It’s not like the mile-high club by any stretch, it just means that you teed it up...

2012 – Seeing The Subtle Things

To Which Male Do The Gods Of Golf Still Owe A Major?

One of my favorite go-rounds with the Scrambler begins with the 2009 British Open championship. The ridiculous putt from Cink, the huge bounce on Watson’s approach to #72, the miserable par attempt, the rest…stuff for weeping. Then, the magic of one week...
