During my first golf lesson last week, the pro talking to me needed at least all 10 fingers to count out the ways my swing was broken. He could have lamented on the flaws, but he didn’t. He handed me the club and said, “let’s focus on your fingers.” After watching me...

What if an NBA fan called in a replay of Lebron James, arguably the best player ever, ‘traveling’ in game seven of the NBA finals. Then the NBA decided those two points didn’t count and the Miami Heat lost. Or what if an MLS fan called in an offside’s goal in one of...

We have the site…the 17th green at Sawgrass…the Island. All we need now are the contestants. Besides the obvious (and pathetic) Tiger v. Jesper, what great UFC battles might the PGA Tour provide? Think Bubba could finally beat Kaymer? Does Levin want...

OK, the world now has a new #1 golfer…Martin Kaymer. Martin is no doubt very talented and he seems to be a real rising star, but, does he have the ability to go the distance? Just ask Lee Westwood who flamed out almost as fast as he ascended to the top....

In case you were wondering, Jordan Spieth will be in the field at the Byron Nelson Championship this May. Spieth, 17, contended for the lead last year despite his youth, lack of experience and being a relative unknown. He’s accepted a sponsor exemption. This is...

Scrambler, Mouth, Rico and Mo’ (that is I) shook off the winter snow on February’s penultimate day at Frog Hair on Transit Road in Williamsville. The space is as welcoming as ever, with roaring fire, comfortable chairs and both public and private AboutGolf...

Shows how nutty I am…can’t even read my own selections. Kuchar, Moore and Kaymer are still alive for me from my original Golfweek bracket. I have Kuchar and Moore losing in the quarters and Kaymer winning to the semis. I’ve moved up to the top 1000...

My bracket is busted. My pride is lessened. Most of the golfers I selected are going home. There’s probably no credible reason for me to offer my thoughts, but I imagine I feel like most golf fans…so here we go. ~ Martin Kaymer is the only guy left who can...

My wife and I were in the Rochester NY area and we stopped at an Italian restaurant to grab a bite before seeing a movie. As often happens to me at odd moments, I had a brainstorm – or as my friends and family often refer to it – an attack of brain gas. I...

Located on Smith Road in East Amherst, NY, Glen Oak Golf Course sits in the middle of a cluster of single family homes, townhouses, condos and patio homes. A Robert Trent Jones design, Glen Oak was opened in 1969. A common misconception is that the course was...

I’ll confess that I (Mo’ Golf) have yet to play Chestnut Hill. I toured the course in June of 2012 and shot over 400 images of the course, so I can claim to know it visually, if not intimately. What I saw impressed me beyond words. Chestnut Hill occupies a...

UPDATE: Today was my day in the true fantasy sense. The picks I made last night went 12-4 for me. I’ve had this skill since my youth-money riding? Forget it. No money? Win all day long. Kaymer, Mahan and Watney were my final 3 proper selections. On to round 4!...

Some quick thoughts after the first day of match play in Arizona. ~ Geoff Ogilvy is good at match play. He has a real chance to win this event for the third time. He made nice work of Padraig Harrington today 4and3. ~ Tiger is still a long way from back and maybe...
