Pre-tournament chatter included a “Ghost Buster” symbol over the number 59, but nobody was going to break the code and throw darts at the new greens at the Greenbrier or do a Stuart Appleby impression. Instead, there were 41 under par rounds and 10 players shooting 66 or better. With day one complete, the mantra at the Greenbrier at the Old White TPC sounds reminiscent of a Tim McGraw...

While Tiger is away the young fellows will play. And play they have. With the absence of a dominant power we have seen everything this year. From Darren Clarke’s major breakthrough to Rory McIlroy’s utter dominance. However players like Clarke are on the downturn. Aging is a process that happens to everyone and not everyone does it as gracefully as “young” Tom Watson. He’s...

For many years, the golf world revolved around Tiger Woods. And in many ways, it still does. That’s why not a single golf enthusiast was going to overlook Tiger’s latest tweet. In the event that you somehow missed it, allow me to relay said tweet: “Feeling fit and ready to tee it up at Firestone next week. Excited to get back out there!” That’s right, folks. Just like...

Jay Townsend, an American golf analyst for the Golf Channel was not impressed by McIlroy’s course management during the opening round of the Irish Open. Townsend first criticized McIlroy during...

To be truly great at anything, a little ego is required. The same is true in golf. Unfortunately, some egos become a bit too large for anyone to want to deal with. In the broadcast booth, the front office, or out on the course, some people allow their egos to become an enormous part of their personality. Here are the 15 biggest egos in golf! Let me remind you that these are in no particular...

It would be tough to outdo what Stuart Appleby did in last year’s final round at The Greenbrier Classic, dropping a 59 on the field to win by one. However, Trevor Immelman did fire an opening round six-under(-par) 64 to take the overnight lead at “America’s Resort.” The 31-year-old South African began his day on the back nine at the Greenbrier and got off to a quick start. He...

For the average golfer, they are feared. For the tour golfer, only somewhat feared. They are sand traps. Coming in all shapes and sizes, they can wreak havoc on a round or produce some of the most incredible finishes in tournaments.

The reigning US Open champion Rory McIlory has apparently already forgotten what he said about the way Tiger Woods handled his scandal in November of 2009. The young Northern Irishmen said that his father and Woods’ experience taught him to be very careful in the public eye as someone is always watching you. Well, I guess Rory has forgotten his own advice to himself. Following the first round...
