Chris DiMarco has an opinion and he’s happy to share it – not your average pro golfer!

July 18, 2010

I’m currently spending about 90 minutes a day in the car (sometimes moving), on my way to and from the office. I’m not a big fan of commercial radio, so have been using this travel time to indulge in a variety of podcasts.
I recently discovered some pretty good golf podcasts on the PGATOUR.com website, the [...]

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.

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. This is the second tragedy to befall Green in the last 8 months, following the death of his brother and girlfriend in a motor vehicle accident in June last year. Green badly [...]

World Top 10: How do their websites rank? (part 1)

December 10, 2009

……..and who’s are worth looking at?
Along with millions of people around the world, I’ve been an interested onlooker (voyeur??) as the ‘affairs’ of Tiger Woods were dragged through the media.
Tiger has used his website to release personal statements about the car accident outside his home and the rumors surrounding it……not surprising considering that he wasn’t [...]

How to follow your favorite golfers on Twitter

November 26, 2009

I‘ve resisted the temptation to jump on the Twitter bandwagon, until now. I learned that a few high profile golfers are using Twitter, so thought I’d give it a try. It’s early days for me, but I have found it interesting to learn about what the pros do off the course……much of which is pretty [...]
