A Healthy Tiger Woods In 2011 Might Have Won One Major

Let’s play the What If game and imagine that all had been well in the Kingdom of Tiger Woods. Thanksgiving 2009 never happened, blown muscles and knees never happened. My suspicion is, Tiger Woods might have won the Masters and nothing more in 2011....

Tiger Has To Play More…

Fred Couples has laid down the challenge: If Tiger Woods wants to play the President’s Cup he better tee it up a few times between now and then. Couples and Woods are friends. They played together in Woods’ first practice round after he returned from his...

A Round Without A Driver

The next time I tee it up – I’m not going to leave the driver in the bag. I’m going to leave it in the storage closet, behind the roller blades I never use and maybe underneath some blankets and sheets I never pick up. If you’ve been reading my...

WNYPGA Wellsville Pro-Am

Shawn Adamczyk, from the Kahkwa Club, shot -5 (66) to capture his first WNYPGA win of the 2011 season.  Great job Shawn! In the 2 best balls of 5 team portion, Ed Suchora and Jay Sutherland lead Myma Adderly and Jason and John Sleggs to first place with a score of...

PGA Championship Quick Hits

The past few trips around the clock have been busy days and long nights for The Mouth That Roars and I haven’t been able to fully think or comment on what happened at the 2011 PGA Championship. That means it’s time for another round of quick hits…. ~ I think we need...

Tom Tucker Tips: Coping With Slow Play

Slow play can get to you if you let it. Here are a couple of things that I do: 1) Stay loose, keep your back stretched out and swing two irons with “momentum” swings while you are waiting. A “momentum” swing is a full but gentle swing. 2) Stay...

Technology Debate, Again

Recently Nick Faldo and another talking head were discussing the state of technology and professional golf.  They both agreed that equipment and ball technology have almost mandated that courses hosting PGA events need to be in the range of 7400+ yards (such as the...

Penal versus Playable: Golf Course Architecture Primer

Two schools of golf course architecture are playing smash-up derby this weekend at Atlanta Athletic Club, as Penal versus Playable butt heads as scores soar over the final four at the PGA Championship. Some one wrote once about the High hole (#11) at St. Andrews Old,...

Confusion Across The World

There must be a number of confused golf fans tuning into the PGA Championship this weekend. Guys and gals sitting down for a nice afternoon of major championship golf and wondering to themselves… “I thought that Tiger guy was back?” For weeks, Tiger has been the...

Refreshing Commentary From The PGA Championship

It’s Saturday morning on the east coast of the USA. In the Atlanta suburbs, a major championship is taking shape in a most peculiar way. Gents who have played well all year, have not done so this week. Say so long to Martin Kaymer, Jason Day, Bo Van Pelt and...

Calm Down, Everybody

It was ugly. It was sandy; wet at times too. In all, it was about 10 shots more than anyone could have hoped it would be, but Tiger Woods opening round 77 isn’t as earth-shattering as everyone’s making it. Understand something, the guys makes four less...

Gary Forgets Garcia

I mean this in the nicest way – but Sergio Garcia belongs on a list of the best players never to win a major. I reiterate that I mean it in a nice way because usually one’s inclusion on the list is a painful reminder of their failure to capture one of golf’s greatest...

Where have you gone, Joe Dimaggio?

While Simon & Garfunkel bemoaned the loss of the American hero, those of us who are avid devotees of pro golf cannot give up on our fixation with Tiger Woods.  But, we need to ask ourselves, why is that?  While certainly the most talented and dramatic golfer of...
