OMFG GOTTA LUV RODDICK!! Yeah, I went out on a real limb with this Federer character…what a scrub. In all seriousness, I’m glad you came to the write place. I’m starting to win the...

Barney Adams is the founder of Adams Golf. Those who know him personally, and I cannot say that he is a personal friend, although I have met him once or twice at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, believe him to be a thoughtful man. Clearly he was smart enough to invent the Tight Lies fairway woods which gave birth to a new golf company. These days Adams is retired, no...

The Australian Open draw may have been today’s big tennis news, but Aussie Open prep tournaments are still taking place, including the Heineken Open in Auckland. World No. 7 David Ferrer, who is the top seed in Auckland, defeated Colombia’s Santiago Giraldo 6-3, 7-5 in his semifinal.

The talk is rife. Rafael Nadal has three Majors in the bag; he is head and shoulders above the competition in the rankings; and he was the form player of 2010. Quite right, then, that he goes into the Australian Open strongly tipped to become the first man since Rod Laver, who accomplished the feat 41 years ago, to hold all four Majors at the same time. Whatever the name this achievement is given—the...

Remember the days of the 1990’s? Those were the days when nearly every professional golfer showed up to tour events with khaki pants and shirts that seemed to be two sizes too large. Thankfully, those days are a thing of the past. And thanks to a new generation of young players, dressing fashionably on the course is no longer an oxymoron. Begin Slideshow Read More →

Here’s the compliment from my Men’s seed report. Of course, we can’t not break down the Seeds on the Men’s Side without doing the same for the Ladies as well. 1 Caroline Wozniacki DEN Finished the year Number one. Got to her first slam final in 2009 at the US Open. Wasn’t able to win but was able to get valuable experience. Definitely a threat to win down under....

The last time Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer faced each other in a major event final was the 2009 Australian Open, and you just have to watch that fantastic five-setter to see what the tennis world has been missing the past two years. In 2009, Fed reclaimed his world No. 1 title, finally won the French and set a new record for most Grand Slam wins with 16 last year in Australia. Then, the Spaniard...

With the start of the Australian Open just days away, it’s not a surprise that we would hear Australian tennis great Rod Laver’s take on the potential “Rafa Slam.” Laver, who is regarded as one of the best players of all time, won the coveted calendar year Grand Slam twice, first as an amateur in 1962 and then again as a professional in 1969. He was the only man to win...
