================================
Yes, Golf IS a team sport!

A least it seemed to be this weekend during the Ryder Cup.

I’ve never seen so much fist pumping and jumping around since the USA women’s beach volleyball team won in the Olympics…

But it was very good to see the cup coming back to the USA. (my condolences to my European subscribers…)

===================================
Daddy’s got a brand new “groove”

Ok, so I have to admit - I’ve not really been following all the talk about the new groove rule in golf. But it seems that there’s nothing but controversy surrounding it.

But, really - do you care? I mean, the rule doesn’t seem to impact us weekend golfers until around 2024 - and I plan to be retired by then.

Oh wait - the last time I looked at my stocks, I probably won’t retire until I’m 99…

Anyway, I plan to do some research on this new groove and report back to you soon - for what it’s worth…

Wie goes back to school

Q-school that is…

Maybe this will get her head out of the “I’m gonna play with men” clouds and put her back on track to show everyone she is capable of living up to the potential everyone saw in her years ago…

===============================
My father the meth dealer…

Poor 17 year old Tadd Fujikawa. He’s trying to get his start as a professional golfer and the next thing you know his dad, Derrick is charged with running a meth lab in Hawaii.

He could face up to 40 years if convicted, and his trial starts next month.

Tadd has missed 6 cuts in PGA events this year, not to mention ones he missed on the European side.

Hopefully Tadd will work out the troubles in his game and realize that he had no control over the other troubles in his family.
==============================
Four in one is a new record.

This is a new record for PGA sponsored events…

During the first round of the Nationwide Tour Utah Championship four golfers each made a hole-in-one. Four aces in one day is a record.

Unfortunately for the golfers involved, none of them aced the right hole…

…if they had aced the par 3 11th hole the prize was a new Rolex watch.
==============================
The 2008 Golf Club Blowout

Just a shameless reminder to check out my 2008 Golf Club Blowout.

I’ve dropped the prices on some of my most popluar custom made clubs
to “make room” for the 2009 models.

Check it out here…

So, who do you think should be player of the year?

Should be be Padraig Harrington, who won two majors? (and then missed the last two cuts in the FedEx cup…)

Or should it be Vijay Singh, who will (probably) win the FedEx Cup? (so long as he makes the cut at the Tour Championship…)

Or should it be Tiger? who won wounded at the US Open?

Or maybe even Greg Norman? (OK, that was a stretch… )

Put your comments in below and let us know What You Think.

Harrington “Surges” past Sergio

Looks like we have a “major” player…

Padraig Harrington drilled some great putts in the stretch and won his second major at the PGA Championship while preventing a strong Sergio Garcia from winning his first major. Again.

Oh well - maybe next season, Sergio - hang in there.

Speaking of next year - The Shark says he’ll be playing in the Masters next year.

It’s gonna be goooood

===============================
Dry Courses
Did you know that Massachusetts and Alaska are the only two states in the US that do not allow alcohol on golf courses?

Oh, well I guess if you live there you know…

At least Massachusetts is considering removing the ban.
=================================
Phil goes to Washington

In case you were wondering why Phil Mickelson was not at the Canadian Open, he was testifing before the US Congress in support of funding for math and science programs.
=================================
Rocco whiffs and lives to laugh about it
At the British Open, Rocco Mediate took a swing at his ball near the second green… and missed - ending up with a double bogey.
(Granted it was a terrible lie.)

He told someone later: “Just so you know, I made 6 on that hole.
…That first one was not a practice swing.”
================================
If he can do it…

Recently the PGA Board of Directors unamiously approved a class A PGA license for Ryan Ely of Maryland.

Ryan was born without the use of his left hand and the left side of this body, but he regulary shoots below 90, using just his right side and hand.
