When the going gets tough, the bros get going.Tiger Woods may now be linked to 10 women. While most of them came forward on their own for their 15 minutes of shame, I mean fame, Tiger still has an alliance of solid bromances that will stick with him no matter what.Take Byron Bell for example. He is Tiger's childhood friend who allegedly paid for Rachel Uchitel's plane fare to Australia and

Finally. A lot of people are waiting for this moment. Jim Furyk had been in a funk since after his last tournament win in 2007. Winning the Chevrom World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, CA is truly special not just for him but for fans like me. I've always rooted for Jim to win in almost every event and finally today, on a lazy Sunday afternoon, he did... one more time in his 30s. Furyk is 39

Over a year ago, many felt that Adam Scott epitomized everything young and new in the world of Golf. Ranking #3 in the world in 2008, it seemed like nothing can stop this young lad from conquering... But something did. His world ranking dropped over 50 spots this year and everyone had different reasons and opinion why 2009 had been a very bad year for Scott from too much partying to

I haven't posted anything in 2 months. I was trying to keep my mind off playing golf and everything golf related. See, 2 weeks in to September, I found out that I am pregnant. Yes, I will have a little baby golfer in May 2010. I was really happy and excited about it but with every good thing comes sacrifice. I wasn't allowed by my doctor to play golf during my 1st trimester and come second

Sure, Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship today in Atlanta but Tiger Woods denied him the $1o million FedEx Cup title as he finished 2nd. I am sure that Lefty is okay with it anyways... who wouldn't be after receiving a check for $4.35 million? Phil won $1.35M for winning The Tour Championship and $3.0M for finishing 2nd overall for The FedEx Cup.Lefty says, "Let me see if I get this

MASN asked Domonique Foxworth, cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens "10 Not-So-Hard Questions" and one of the questions was: What sport are you the worst at? The 26-year-old cornerback answers with a question, "Is golf considered a sport?" MASN answers, "Yeah, sure." and Domonique Foxworth continues with, "I don't know if I'd consider golf a sport.

Two days ago, Friday, September 18th, the boys and I drove all the way to Windsor, CA to be part of The Puma Open. It was a long drive from the east bay... with the traffic and a stop over for lunch, it took us 2 1/2 hours to get to the Windsor Golf Club. It was also a scorching 100+ degrees that day and I wasn't happy. I was pretty much in a foul mood because of heat exhaustion the first

Give me my #1 spot back, Stricker! Tiger Woods dominated the 3rd round of the BMW Championship today as he shot a course record 62 at Cog Hill. With a 7-shot lead ahead of Snedeker, Leishman and Kuchar after 54 holes, it is certain that he will take the FedEx Cup lead back from Steve Stricker. Brandt Snedeker who is tied for 2nd says, "Looks like Tiger is making it difficult on us." Snedeker

LPGA is celebrating women's health by teaming up with Pantene Beautiful Lengths to help create wigs for women with cancer.

Last week, before The Deutsche Bank Championship, Sergio Garcia was ranked #71 and we all know what that means... He had to make something happen at TPC Boston to not miss the cut and play at The BMW Championship at the Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Illinois.

I just had a birthday a few days ago. My foursome celebrated my special day by playing a round of golf at The Bridges Golf Club here in San Ramon, CA. We have 4 golf courses here in San Ramon and this one is proven to be the hardest of them all. This course is actually rated by the NCGA as one of the most challenging courses in Northern California.

After the first day of the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Massachusetts, Jim Furyk shot -8 to share the lead with Steve Stricker. Both Stricker and Furyk shot a bogey-free round today. Furyk hasn't had a win in over two years and I am crossing my fingers that he could hold on to the lead and win this one. Furyk, being one of my favorite players, is long over due for a win.

With only 2 points separating Daniel Chopra and KJ Choi in Fedex Cup points, one may think that it is no big deal... But it is, especially for KJ Choi who, after the first round of playoffs for the FedEx cup, is ranked #101. After The Barclays, only the top 100 players will advance to The Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Massachusetts. This must be very disappointing for Choi as he was

Once again, the unexpected! Tyler Heath Slocum wins The Barclays today in New Jersey. He shared the lead with Steve Stricker coming in to the 18th hole with 9-under-par. The two leaders were in a tremendous amount of pressure to avoid a playoff with a strong trio of Tiger Woods, Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington who were all tied for second with 8-under-par.

A few days ago, I ordered Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 from Amazon. I have been hearing good reviews about this game so I had to check it out myself and I must say, this game is great. I am not saying so because of my obvious love for golf. The game is simply awesome. The Wii MotionPlus additional sensor does a lot for the game as it enhances gameplay.

What happened to Camilo Villegas? Today, after 2 double bogeys and 3 bogeys on the first 9 holes, Spiderman withdrew from The Barclays because of a wrist injury. Apparently, he injured his left wrist early on from lifting weights and playing from the rough on the 17th hole, where he scored his second double bogey of the day, aggravated it. The question is, how serious is this injury and will

Talking to some golfers at work, I noticed that not everyone fully understands how the FedEx Playoffs work. It is quite confusing and with the recent changes, who has time to be up to date with what's going on? I will try to summarize and simplify it the best I can.First of all, there are 4 Playoff events: The Barclays at the Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey, The Deutsche Bank

Lately, this has been the looming question amongst golf fans and professional golfers. So which is better? The FedEx cup is definitely harder to win as it is a competition that expands weeks. In the end, the golfer who plays the best golf in a longer period of time wins. But is this reason enough to make it better than winning a major? The answer is relative. It depends on the individual

The Playoffs is right around the corner. In a couple of days, golf greats will be converging in the Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey for The Barclays. Last year, Vijay Singh and Camilo Villegas dominated the playoffs with 2 wins each. Vijay won The Barclays and the Deutsche Bank Championship while Camilo won the BMW Championship and The Tour Championship. The big question is will

A 10,000-year-old tooth of a wooly mammoth was found on the grounds of the Morrison Lake Golf Club in Saranac, Michigan. Grounds keeper Patrick Walker found this 10-pounder last Tuesday. Now I am curious, so they found this tooth, is the pair lying around somewhere in there too!? And, where is the skeleton!?

Solheim Cup Captain, Beth Daniel, wrote these inspiring words on the board this morning in the USA team room:"No matter what happens, I love you guys! You all earned your right to be here. Go out, enjoy it, and make the most of this opportunity. Represent your team and country with pride. GO USA!"I am still high from the win... wish I can afford to go to Ireland in 2 years!*Photo courtesy of

"The cup stays here!", the crowd cheered at the Rich Harvest Farms. It was an energy-packed day at Sugar Grove, Ill. where Team USA beat Team Europe, 16-12, to win the 2009 Solheim Cup. Sunday started on an even playing field as both teams were tied at 8 points each. The Americans won 8 of the 12 singles matches today, winning the cup for the third straight time.Vigilantly watching the Solheim

Paula Creamer's 20-foot putt gave Team USA a point lead today in Sugar Grove, Ill. This point is extra special to partner Juli Inkster as it made her the highest scoring US player in its history with 17.5 points. How amazing is that!? Random Thoughts:- If the Solheim Cup was 2 weeks ago, I would say that there is no chance that Team Europe would win this year. But, after the PGA championship,

When Michelle Wie was picked by Solheim Cup Captain Beth Daniel to join Team USA, I have heard and read about a lot of people revolting. Haters all over flooded message boards and news & blog comment sections with various opinion on why she should not be part of the team. The main reason why these people think so is because of her $$$ endorsements, her father's mismanagement, and her playing in

After what happened in Chaska, Minnesota today, the emerging question is if Tiger Woods choked. After losing the PGA championship to YE Yang, the search for the answer as to why he did not win begins. Jay Mariotti posted an article 2 hours ago at Fanhouse with a poll asking readers if they think Tiger choked. With over 27,000 votes, majority thinks that he did not.I feel the same way. Tiger

What is the bigger story, Tiger Woods losing the 91st PGA Championship after a commanding 54-hole lead or Y.E. Yang winning being the first asian-born player to win a major? Yang's win will surely inspire a continent where golf is gaining popularity at lightning speed, paving the way for junior golfers in Asia. Tiger Woods was clearly the favorite since the tournament started. After shooting a

A decade after his PGA debut, 29-year-old Sergio Garcia is still searching for his first major title. The 91st PGA Championship in Chaska, Minnesota was his last chance to win one before he turns 30 in January. After a promising first round of 1 under par yesterday, Sergio says goodbye to the fans in Hazeltine National Golf Club today with a very disappointing second round of 4 bogeys and 2

Tiger and Paddy are at it again! After last week's battle at the Bridgestone Invitational, these two respectively took the 1st and 2nd spots of today's leaderboard in Hazeltine National Golf Club for the 2009 PGA Championship. Shooting 5 under with nothing but pars and birdies in the last major championship of the year... I don't think there is a sweeter way to start this tourney the way Tiger

After the infamous club slamming incident at the British Open, Tiger Woods is once again in the limelight for behavioral issues. The Canadian Press reports in this article that Tiger Woods will be fined by the PGA Tour for criticizing a Rules Official during the Bridgestone Invitational last week. According to the article, Woods said that the Official informed him and Padraig Harrington that

Tiger Woods wins the 2009 Bridgestone Invitational today shooting a 12 under par total. Three-Day leader Padraig Harrington, collapsed with a triple bogey on the par 5 16th hole finishing -8 under par total and tied for 2nd with Australian Robert Allenby. Tiger is on a roll, after winning back to back 2 weeks in a row, Buick and Bridgestone, will he go for 3 at next week's PGA Championship?

A month ago, I purchased the Tiger Woods PGA Tour game for my iPhone. I paid $6.99 to download the game and all I can say is IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! I find myself playing this game each down time I have. I picked a female player, named it DBL GLVR of course, and with each tournament, I feel like I am actually playing and living the moment.

Fred Funk did not just win the 2009 US Senior Open yesterday at Carmel, Indiana, he also set a new USGA record for being the first player to shoot 20 under par total in a USGA championship. This win automatically qualifies him to play at Pebble Beach next year for the 2010 US Open.

After the British Open at Turnberry, I never really expected Tiger Woods to win tournaments for a while.... I surely did not expect him to win one this soon. I thought that he somehow lost his mojo at Turnberry. I was thinking that maybe something changed in his swing or maybe he is mentally not ready to play well. This happens to all of us, I believe. I know a lot of golfers who lose their

Julie Inkster will bring in experience to the very young team, this will be her 8th Solheim Cup appearance. Michelle

The Evian Masters, one of the biggest and most popular tourney in the LPGA, is set to start tomorrow in Evian-les-Bains, France. It will be interesting to see how Michelle Wie and Natalie Gulbis will play. They were both terribly missed during the 2009 US Women's Open since they both did not qualify. I think that this would be a great opportunity for both of them to shine by playing good.

Stewart Cink denies Tom Watson his 6th British Open win today in Turnberry as he becomes the 2009 Open Champion.

Before this week started, if anyone said that they think 59-year-old Tom Watson will win the British Open in Turnberry, people would think that person is crazy. The last major he won was over 2 decades ago. There is no way he can win it with the likes of Tiger Woods and other young players in the field. I have been watching the Open Championship closely that past 4 days and after all my "

Golf can be really frustrating. I've heard people say that it is the most difficult sport next to polo. Players can easily get disappointed and emotional when they play bad, however, I feel that players should be extra careful with displaying negativity such as golf club slamming when they are playing... especially during a major event when the whole world is watching. A lot of players are

Today is very disappointing for Tiger-Fans like me. Tiger Woods missed the cut at Turnberry with a +5 after the second round. I am also a big Ryo Ishikawa and Geoff Ogilvy fan... both of them missed the cut too. However, these cuts doesn't make the 2009 Open Championship less exciting for me because of the following reasons: - Jim Furyk, another favorite of mine, is still in and playing well.

How much does Tiger Woods want to win the British Open? I am guessing... with all his life. Winning in Turnberry could mean to him more than all of his other majors combined. There is a tremendous amount of pressure on him right now since Roger Federer, a very good friend of his, recently won his 15th major. People are expecting him to win this year's British Open to match Federer's majors.

Going through the list of groupings for the British Open this week at Turnberry, Group 15 stood out the most because of the obvious, Tiger Woods. What makes the threesome more interesting is Ryo Ishikawa teeing with Tiger. 17-year-old Ryo Ishikawa is dubbed as the Tiger Woods of Asia. I am excited to see how this young lad will perform side by side with his idol, Tiger Woods. Here are the

Though no one scored under par after the 4th round, I have seen a lot of great golf while watching the tourney. My thoughts:- Though I was hoping that an American would win this year's US Women's Open, I think that Eun Hee Ji deserved winning. She was the most consistent and she played smart.

May I share a golf moment? These type of moments may be typical moments for you but pardon me, It's my first time...Played a round today with the boys, I played worse than normal. I scored 5 over my usual average. However, there were two moments during today's round that made my Most-Awesome-Golf-Moment list. The first one would be getting a Green in Regulation (GIR) on a par 4. I mentioned

Apparently, you only have to be doing two from the list below to be one according to this interesting post from Nice Ballz.You might be geeked for golf if:1. You clean your clubs or scrub your grips before you play2. You review the online scorecard or take the virtual golf course tour3. You download the course into your GPS distance measuring device a few days before just to be safe4. You

Yesterday, Phil Mickelson confirmed on his official website, that he will not be playing at the 2009 British Open in Turnberry. Lefty Says: "As a professional golfer, competing in major championships, and winning then, is my main objective. But I've always said family is my number one priority. For that reason I won't be playing the British Open at Turnberry next week."Phil will surely be

Just a few minutes ago in Saucon Valley Country Club, Paula Creamer got a triple bogey at the Par 4 10th. It was so painful to watch that I found my self stressing out with every shot she made. The hole was setup to be at a drivable distance but instead of playing it safe and laying up, she used her driver from the teeing ground and went for it. I watched her fluorescent pink ball fly and land

14-year-old amateur Alexis Thompson played well today during the first round of the 2009 US Women's Open. Ending the day with an even par, she is currently tied for 6th place with 5 other players including Anna Nordqvist. Na Yeon Choi of Korea is currently on the lead while Lorena Ochoa, Christie Kerr and Jean Reynolds are tied for 2nd. Defending Champion Inbee Park is 4 over par and is

There's a rumor circulating that former NSYNC member Justin Timberlake will be writing a golf memoir. I searched the internet today and did find several articles about it, one of which is this article from The New York Observer. This fashionable lad is starting to impress me. His dedication to golf is something we can all look up to. His involvement with golf, I believe, keeps the young

It's a shame that media sensation Michelle Wie is not playing at the 2009 US Women's Open. I think that her not qualifying for the event is a big blow to the LPGA especially now that everyone's focus is not on the event itself but the requested resignation of LPGA Commissioner Carolyn Bivens. Michelle Wie has a very big fan base and even if you are not a fan, admit it, you like watching and

I just downloaded the British Open Application for my iPhone. Earlier this year, I have downloaded The Masters and The US Open iPhone applications and boy, it did help me get through those times when I couldn't locate a television nearby and wanted to know what was currently going on during the tournament. This application provides current scores, news, videos, and even player profiles. The

Check out this video I stumbled upon on ABC-7 site. Her name is Amari Avery, a 5-year-old girl from Orange County, CA. With her golf skills and competitive nature, she could very well be a future LPGA star.

A Girl's On-Course Survival Guide author Christina Ricci has another surprise up her sleeve. She is releasing a new book: Reach Your Goals Survival Guide: Learn How to Take Your Game to the Next Level. This book may be pre-ordered at a discounted price here.

I heard that Phil Mickelson's mom just got diagnosed with breast cancer... such terrible news after his wife Amy's diagnosis a month and a half ago. I can't imagine the pain of having to battle this alongside his mom when his wife's battle just started. Hang in there Phil!

Tennis great Roger Federer ignited a Federer vs. Woods debate when he won his 6th Wimbledon title yesterday. Watching videos and reading blogs and articles about this discussion is interesting though not as interesting as reading comments posted by readers like the one on MSN Fox Sports. It is so obvious that the bottomline of some of the comments boils down to Golf vs. Tennis and not about the

All eyes are on Bethlehem, Pennsylvania this week for the 2009 US Women's Open where Inbee Park will be defending her title at the Saucon Valley Country Club. My Random Thoughts:- Michelle Wie and Natalie Gulbis did not qualify! I was hoping that one of them would win the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic to secure teeing off on Thursday.- Will Paula Creamer's famous Thumb Injury prevent her

I was closely following the AT&T National Tournament in Bethesda, MD this weekend. Defending champion Anthony Kim and host Tiger Woods were the early stars of the tourney until Hunter Mahan temporarily stole the limelight today when he shot 8 under par applying pressure on Tiger and AK. For several holes, Tiger Woods and Hunter Mahan were tied at -12 until Tiger's birdie on the 16th. In the

This long weekend, I was all over Southern California. It was a busy 4th of July weekend and squeezing in a round of golf is out of the question. Though I did not get to play, golf still consumed me. Aside from following the AT&T National Tournament (which is turning out to be one of the most exciting tournaments this year... Host Tiger Woods and defending champ Anthony Kim will be paired

Recently, I have been toying with the idea of changing some clubs in my bag. A month ago, I have made some minor changes (wrote about these changes here). Lately, I can't get the Yamaha 2009 Inpres X C's Hybrid/Utility and Fairway Wood out of my head. These clubs, once again are available at TourspecGolf, the home of awesome golf clubs! What I want to do, or shall I say, what I DREAM of doing

Bunker Mentality's Queen of the Green golf polo shirts are fun yet classy. This fashion forward brand promotes confidence and individuality. They also have accessories such as hats, belts, ball markers, divot tools and golf bags. My favorite of them all would be the Who's your Caddie? T-shirts... very fun to have!

Teenage Japanese golfer, Ryo Ishikawa also known as the "Tiger Woods of Asia" will be playing in Turnberry for the 2009 Brisitsh Open. He qualified to this Bristish Open by Winning the Gateway to the Open Mizuno Open Yomiuri Calssic on June 28th. The young lad is getting a lot of attention not just for his Tigeresque golf skills but also for his unique fashion sense. He is part of the new

This weekend, we played at Lone Tree Golf Course in Antioch (Saturday) and at Lake Chabot in Oakland (Sunday).Saturday at Lone Tree was TERRIBLE. I wasn't able to enjoy this beautiful golf course because of the weather. As a high handicapper who averages 105 per round, I learned that I should stop playing or not play at all if my score is lower than the temperature outside! The temperature was

Marc, Sunny, Joe and I played at Lone Tree Golf Course today. After the round, Marc and I went to a friend's house in San Francisco for a small get together and dinner. The host and his wife invited their friend Michelle and husband Reggie over. After dinner, we started talking about golf, golf clubs in particular. As we talked about golf clubs, I told Reggie the history of my sticks... From my

A warning was issued today to San Francisco Bay Area residents to prepare for a heat wave this weekend. A lot of areas will be in the 100s. It's a shame that it had to be a weekend of back to back golf. Both my Saturday and Sunday tee times are at noon, which means I will be at the course during the hottest hour of the day. What not to forget when playing golf during this kind of weather:1.

I finally got the much talked about book by Christina Ricci, A Girl's On-Course Survival Guide to Golf. The author is an amateur golfer who impressively went down from a 30 to a 5 handicap in only 5 years of playing golf. It took me a while to actually purchase this book because of past experiences with "highly recommended" golf books. Unlike other golf books that I TRIED to read (I usually

With the current state of the economy, it is imperative that we spend our money wisely. A lot of people are cutting down on so many things especially recreation expenses. Let's face it, compared to other sports, golf is on the losing end when it comes to affordability. I was searching the net earlier today for good golf deals. For playing in public courses, Golfnow offers a wide selection of

Lucas Glover played exceptionally well during the tournament. However, I can't help but wonder what could have happened if the group of Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington and Angel Cabrera were scheduled to play on the 2nd wave last Thursday. Clearly, being part of the second wave was favorable. The weather was more forgiving. The scores prove it. After the first round, the average score of the
