Last week we were in Florida, Orlando for our family reunion, Boca Raton to recover. Before we left I bought New Balance walking shoes at the local Sports Mart outlet. The first pair were 50% off the regular $89, the second pair were a further 50% off, two pairs for just under $70.00. In Orlando ... Full Story »
November has turned out to be bunker month on TV. Last week we watched Royal Melbourne host the President’s Cup matches between the USA ‘s PGA TOUR players and the Greg Norman ALLSTARS. Unfortunately Greg proved again that Australian players don’t stand up under pressure, not since Gallipolli. But the course was the star, and ... Full Story »
Malaysia for golf!! Put it on your bucket list or whatever list you may have of things you want to do. Yes, for Canadians it is a long way to go (about 22 hours flying time from Toronto through Vancouver and Taipei) just to chase that dimpled ball up and down fairways. But it is ... Full Story »
A golfer who’s only in it for the Saturday-morning sunshine and the hot dog combo at the turn has probably never heard the name.

as Jay Leno might say it: “How bad is Tiger’s game right now? It’s so bad that three Canadians finished ahead of him in a PGA TOUR event.” Congrats to their fine play! We hope they do great in the next two events on the 2011 Tour.
The DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP, version 2011 finished on Sunday past, is to me the best possible professional golfing event to watch in person. Why – great field (5 of the top 6 in the World Rankings, plus countless others), great courses (Carnoustie, The Old Course, and Kingsbarns), not crowded (first three rounds very light, final ...

Before Annika, before Salming, there was Sven Tumba, maybe the best hockey player from Sweden, and also maybe the pioneer of Swedish and Russian golf. He’s passed on at 80, hope he gets lots of games with Seve, Moe, and Rocket Richard. Carolyn and I met Sven in 1974, at LaManga in Spain. We were ... Full Story »
Can an old pro (scratch) and his wife (16 hdcp) enjoy playing a 5181 yard (tips) par 68 golf course? The answer is yes, we haven’t so much fun since Lido closed in Oakville.
