The Tube: ‘Classical’ Tiger Woods

by Dean Dyer on March 7, 2010

Jack Nicklaus reckons Tiger will play in the Masters this year……let’s hope he’s right.

Here’s a reminder of what we’ve missed these last few months. I’ve seen this slow motion footage a few times, and haven’t tired of it yet.

Tips for buying golf clubs online

March 3, 2010

I recently wrote an e-book (”Guide to Buying Golf Clubs Online”) which I’m giving away when you sign up to my weekly Video Swing Tips newsletter…………………..over there
Today, I’m giving the e-book a plug. I’m generally not at ease with the sales and marketing stuff, but I feel pretty comfortable about promoting my e-book because I [...]

The Tube: Vijay’s Hop, Skip and Dunk

February 28, 2010

Plenty of people have seen Vijay’s hole in one during Tuesday practice at the 2009 Masters, but just in case you missed it, here it is.
It’s apparently a long standing tradition for players to skip the ball across the water during practice on 16 after hitting their tee shots. No-one has executed quite like Vjiay. [...]

Finally, found a golf podcast worth listening to!

February 24, 2010

I wrote a post about golf podcasts a few weeks ago, and lamented the lack of quality content for golf fans. Well, I’m happy to report that there exists a golf podcast actually worth listening to…..in my humble opinion anyway. It’s called the Devil Ball Golfcast, and is hosted by Jay Busbee. Jay is also [...]

The Tube: Justin Leonard and THAT Ryder Cup

February 21, 2010

I was watching one of the PGA Tour’s ‘Outside the Ropes’ interviews the other day, this one with Justin Leonard. In it he mentions the 1999 Ryder Cup and 1997 British Open wins as his most memorable moments as a professional golfer, saying that he couldn’t choose one over the other.
It says a lot about [...]

5 of the best Golf Apps for your (our) iPhone

February 17, 2010

I‘ve had my iPhone for a few months now, enough time to try out way too many golf apps……and I’ve had some mixed experiences (I wrote about my thoughts on the iSwing app a few weeks ago).
There are literally hundreds (possibly thousands) of golf apps for the iPhone, and many of them are fresh off [...]

The Tube: A look inside the PGA Tour’s Shotlink

February 13, 2010

I read an interesting article over at Sandbox8.com recently about Shotlink, the system used by the PGA Tour to gather and analyze stats for all of the PGA Tour events.
I’ve wondered how the commentators know, for example, that Phil Mickelson has holed 156 out 165 putts inside 5 feet this year, or that Steve Stricker [...]

I’m flying over to Pebble Beach this week…..well, virtually

February 10, 2010

With the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am being played this week I thought I’d take a look at the spectacular Golf Links course layout on the internet.
After some digging around, I found a great flyover of the Links course at Golf Frontier, a very cool website that provides free virtual flyovers for many courses and [...]

The Tube: Reliving Van de Velde at Carnoustie, 1999

February 7, 2010

I read recently at Golfweek.com that Jean Van de Velde had failed to qualify for the 2010 Asia Tour, after recently moving to Asia for family reasons. It got me thinking about THAT 72nd hole at Carnoustie in 1999.
So, I went in search of some footage on YouTube to reminisce and came across this interview [...]

Do you track your golf stats? You should……and here’s how

February 3, 2010

Since joining a golf club again, and playing regularly, I’m keen to get back to tracking my golf stats. About 10 years ago I developed a website for me and a few friends to track our stats. The site became inactive and eventually disappeared from cyberspace after we all stopped playing together a few years [...]
