If Bubba Watson was looking for a night on the couch, he nearly got it with this second shot during his second round match at the Accenture Match Play. Bubba badly pulled his second shot on the long par-5 11th, and the ball bounced and bounded right at his wife Angie (in the stripped shirt) […]

The 16th at TPC Scottsdale remains the most fun hole in golf
February 1, 2014 by
Earlier this year, months removed from the chaos of the Waste Management Open, I drove out to TPC Scottsdale to play an unassuming round of golf with some friends. I’ve lived in Scottsdale for years, but it seems the rounds at TPC Scottsdale are few and far between, a fault of my own but also […]

Tiger Woods has earned $1.3 billion, according to Golf Digest
January 8, 2014 by
Just think back to 1996, when Tiger Woods turned professional with all the promise in the world. He won two events that season, earned just under $ 800,000 for the year and had a lot of us wondering if this was the man that was going to change the game of golf. Two decades later […]
