A Partnership Destined For Disaster

A story emerged this week that was more shocking than Paul Gydos’ 59 and far more interesting than LeBron’s decision to ditch Cleveland for the shores of Miami. At the U.S. Women’s Open this week Kelli Shean, a 22-year-old amateur golfer from South Africa, is competing against the best female golfers in the world, with her boyfriend Chandler Rackley on the bag.  Now I pride...

The 2010 British Open Championship: Predicting the Unpredictable

When the best golfers in the world gather later this week at the home of golf, it will be perhaps the most wide open major championship since Tiger Woods first asserted dominance with a 12-stroke victory at the 1997 Masters. There hasn’t been a single player on any professional tour that has had a consistently great 2010 season. Case in point, Ernie Els won two consecutive events in March but... 

British Open 2010: 10 Great Things About The Open Championship at St. Andrews

Everyone waxes golf poetic when The Open Championship goes to St. Andrews, and there are plenty of reasons. There’s the charming male-only (harrumph!) clubhouse and the picturesque Auld Grey Toon. But there are unique characteristics at The Old Course, and since it was first to have 18 holes, that set the stage for the sport. So on to our top 10: 1. The Old Course was the first 18-hole track.... 

British Open Field 2010: The Top 10 Contenders

It’s the British Open the third major of the year for pro golf. The Open Championship returns to the home of golf St. Andrews otherwise known as the Old Course. The last two times the British Open was held at St. Andrews it was the personal playground of Tiger Woods. He won in 2000 and 2005 by a combined 13 strokes.

British Open 2010: The Road Holes Get Tougher

One of the familiar holes to many and one of the most well known holes in all of golf has received a bit of a makeover for the 2010 British Open Championship. The famous “Road Hole” at the old course at St. Andrews has been lengthened to 495 yards with the addition of a new tee box pushing it back from the 455 yards the last time the Open Championship was contested there. Altering... 

British Open 2010 Preview: Another Mystery Major In Our Midst

The British Open returns to St. Andrews Golf Course in Scotland and officially begins Thursday, July 15.

Lest we forget: More on Bob Sheppard

  Ran this on my other blog on Jews and Sports : Bob Sheppard, the voice of the New York Yankees for some 60 years, passed away yesterday at the age of 99. Sheppard , who was known in certain circles as “the voice of God” for his diction, timber, and dulcet tone was not Jewish, but thanks to this anecdote from Len Berman, I thought I’d bend the rules a bit. From Berman’s... 

2010 British Open: 10 Holes at St. Andrews That Could Decide the Open

The last major rerouting of the Old Course at St. Andrews took place about 137 years ago. That sounds like a long time, but in the life of St. Andrews it is only about a third of the course’s existence. The often argued beginning of the club dates back to somewhere around 1550.
