Martin Laird three putted the 18th hole from twenty five feet to force a playoff with Matt Kuchar in the 1st FedUp Cup playoff event of the season, The Barclays. On the 1st playoff hole Kuchar stuffed his approach to 30 inches and completed the comeback. Laird had a five shot advantage at the start [...]

125 men go in, 100 men come out. Thank Tina Turner. The Barclays, sounds like a restaurant/resort doesn’t it? Regardless, the first round of the so-called PGA/FedUp Cup playoffs begins here on Thursday. Holding with tradition this Average Golfer will provide you with the knowledge and skill necessary for you to earn a little dinero [...]

Phil won the Masters. The other three were won by….. Oh yeah, McDowell, Oosthuizen, and Kaymer. Now we’re expected to get excited about golf tournaments during football season? It’s the money, follow the money. Some kabillionaire golfer cashing a ten million dollar check and the NFL is a remote click away? Not here. As far [...]

Perhaps it’s the difficulty in reaching a milestone in terms of age. Maybe it’s the desire to still compete with the young guns. Pragmatically, it could be the difference in purse size.

Mahan waited near the 18th green to watch Ryan Palmer’s eagle attempt from the fairway fall short. Palmer finished two strokes [...]

Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood both had a chance to supplant Tiger Woods as the world #1 at this week’s Bridgestone Invitational. Woods has more than done his part to give up the title. Westwood spit the bit with a WD due to a nagging torn calf muscle. The injury will keep him out of [...]

There’s no cut at this week’s WGC event, the Bridgestone Invitational. That’s good news for Tiger Woods. The troubled linkster, with a tenuous grip on the #1 world ranking, stumbled to an opening round 74, placing him T70 in the field of 81 golfers. On a course and in an event he virtually owned, Woods [...]

You may be asking, “Who is Bobby Cobb?” He’s the dim, crass buffoon that you somehow can’t even hate to love on ABC’s unfortunately named sitcom Cougar Town. An aspiring pro golfer who lives on a boat in a parking lot, he’s now giving golf tips to amateurs with his “caddy,” the friend who worships [...]
