The Tube: Ken Green’s Story

January 30, 2010

I read about the death of Hunter Green, son of former professional golfer Ken Green, on the Golf Channel website the other day.

How to watch live golf on the internet

January 26, 2010

I‘m lucky enough to have cable TV at home, so get to see most, if not all, PGA Tour events and majors, and many European Tour events. Not that I watch them all….although I’d like to!

How NOT to analyze your golf swing

January 14, 2010

When I left my job late last year I handed back my work mobile phone. The perfect excuse to buy myself an iPhone! I’d been thinking about getting one for awhile, but couldn’t really justify it while my employer provided me with a phone.
Now that I have one I’ve been trying out some of the [...]

The Tube: These putting tips saved me at least 2 shots today!

January 10, 2010

I‘ve been struggling with my short game for awhile, well ever since I started playing golf if I’m honest! As an average golfer who doesn’t hit too many greens in regulation, I really should devote more time to practicing my short game.
So…….before this morning’s round I watched this putting video from Shawn Clement, a top [...]
