Watch a bird fly off with an in-play ball at the Australian PGA
December 23, 2014 by
Birdies are usually good in golf. However, for Sam Eaves on Day 2 of the Australian PGA Championship on Thursday, a particular birdie was a nuisance.

Long-drive champion hits golf ball 331 yards…from his knees
October 4, 2014 by
Jamie Sadlowski makes money by the yard. He’s a multi-time world long-drive champion with a career-best drive of over 430 yards. He hits the ball so hard, he’s broken Golf Channel’s in-studio simulator not once, but twice. So when Sadlowski hits the ball almost 100 yards less than his best, it’s disappointing, right? Not when […]
A quick goodbye to the Devil Ball readers
September 6, 2014 by
Years ago, when I was a kid, I thought a bit different. Sure, I played baseball and soccer and basketball and golf, but while the other 8-year-olds were talking about being astronauts or playing first base for the Braves, I had a different dream.

Martin Kaymer putted his ball completely off the sixth green on Saturday at the U.S. Open
June 14, 2014 by
Your browser does not support iframes. No matter how hard Pinehurst has played, Martin Kaymer hasn’t seemed to notice. A few bogeys early in his round were probably as much nerves as the toughness of the golf course, but an eagle on the par-5 5th hole got him back to even for the day and […]

On Thursday at the BMW PGA Championship, one of the biggest events on the European Tour calendar, Larrazabal fired an opening round 69, good enough for a T-14 at the Wentworth Club and in […]
