The Players Championship is quite possibly one of the most exciting golf tournaments to watch the entire year. Dubbed by some as the “5th” Major, it seems to live up to the hype every May, and if you happened to take a look at the leaderboard after the tournament finished this weekend you’d think it…
The controversy surrounding Tiger Woods two-shot penalty at the Masters last weekend should serve as a testament to just how important the rules of golf actually are, and if the greatest player in the world can get mixed upon such a simple matter then maybe it’s a good time to clear a few things up….
With just over $520,000 in earnings on the PGA Tour this year, Jordan Spieth isn’t doing too bad for a 19-year old that dropped out of college after his freshman year at the University of Texas. Earlier this month at the Puerto Rico Open he finished 2nd and three weeks ago at the Tampa Bay…

If you don’t know what’s going on with Tiger Woods at The Masters this year then you don’t live on this planet. On Friday afternoon at Augusta, Tiger strutted to the 15th tee with a flawless scorecard (3 birdies and no bogeys). After a slightly pushed…
Well, if you live North of the Mason-Dixon Line it’s finally starting to warm up (at least a little bit). And while we all know that weathermen occupy the only profession in which you can be wrong on a daily basis and still keep your job, let’s hope they’re right because we’re all sick of…
2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2012. No this isn’t a list of the years that Tiger played in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge; it’s a list of the years he won it (and he didn’t even play in 2010). Tiger has won on virtually every course the PGA Tour…
If you have any interest in being the best possible golfer you can be then you should care about what kind of clubs you are using. There’s a reason club makers produce hundreds of different shafts and club heads and it’s not to make money (at least that’s not the only reason). Everyone’s swing is…
Some people love it. Some people hate it. Some people don’t know how to use it and some people purposely abuse it. The gimme (derived from “give me”), otherwise known as a conceded putt, has been and will likely continue to be a hot topic of debate among amateur golfers wherever you go. And while…

Unfortunately, we don’t all live in Florida. In fact, this time of the year, the vast majority of us are stuck at our desk staring out the window wondering if the snow is EVER going to melt. But just because your local weatherman is calling for another week of…
Valentines Day is over and the Masters is just around the corner, or at least we’d all like to pretend it is. Pretty soon the 2013 PGA Tour will be in full swing and while there’s nothing we can do to speed up the passage of time over the next six weeks, let’s take a…
