What is happening at the Farmers Insurance Open, PGA tournament?

2011-01-29T12:59:00.000-08:00

Today's round at the tournament in San Diego is not going very good for Tiger. As the 9th hole Tiger was +1 for the day and -5 for the PGA Farmers Insurance Open at the Torrey Pines Golf Course · La Jolla, Calif.

The Leader at the time of my entry is Phil Michelson at -11 for the tournament so far.

Tiger Woods nearly shot himself out of the tournament on Friday, but a late recovery brought him back within range of the leaders.

Phil Mickelson , Bill Haas, Bubba Watson are just a few of the leaders with Tiger Woods in a tie for the 18th position

2010 Masters Golf Tournament, Round 1, Great Shots, Your Favorites

2010-04-09T07:30:00.000-07:00

The 2010 Masters Golf Tournament has produced some great shots.

After threats of bad weather and playing in rain the first round ended with Fred Couples (much was made by the announcers of the fact that Fred is 50 years of age) and -6.

I was amazed at how he could get his shots to land and just stay in place while others had their shots rolling all over the place because of the rain.

Tom Watson, Lee Westwood, Phil Mickelson, and Y.E. Yang are in second with a -5. Mickelson seemed to be able to make any putt. Long or short, they all seemed to roll right in for him.

Anthony Kim. Tiger Woods, and Nick Watney are in seventh with a -4. Tiger Woods made an outstanding hook shot on the ninth hole to get a birdie. I could not see how he did it but is was great. After being out of the game since October he looked pretty good to me. I was glad to see the crowd was behind him.

As you can see it has been some time since my last blog, I have been ill and unable to play but seeing the Masters yesterday made me want to get out there and Swing my Clubs. Hopefully soon.

What did you feel was the best shot of the round? Please let me know!!

Tips for Choosing the Right Golf Shoes!

2009-08-10T11:45:00.000-07:00

You can bet that Tiger Woods was wearing comfortable shoes yesterday when he won the 2009 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Here are some things to think about when you go to buy golf shoes.

How to Choose Golf Shoes:

Your swing will change, your accuracy and distance will improve with practice, and you’ll become deadly with a putter, but you will always do these things while standing on your feet.

Your feet need to be comfortable! Have you ever developed a blister while walking or running? It’s all you can think about and it ruins the experience. Don’t let uncomfortable shoes ruin your golf game.

This is one area where you shouldn’t let your frugality make the decision for you. You will be wearing these shoes many times and they should be considered an investment.

Comfort should be your biggest concern when buying shoes. Your foot should not move at all on your heel when you walk, yet your toes shouldn’t feel cramped. Have you shoes professional fit to your feet and walk around in them before you buy them.

Proper golf shoes should be waterproof so that your feet remain dry in damp conditions. Good socks are important too; they will wick perspiration away from you feet, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.

All golf courses prohibit metal spiked shoes in the effort to protect their delicate greens. Purchase shoes that allow you to change the rubber spikes easily, and while you’re there, purchase some extras. You never know when you might lose one. Replace the spikes when they become worn.

With all the things you have to worry about while playing golf, your feet shouldn’t be one of them. When it comes to golf foot wear, quality counts.

Golf's British Open Highs and Lows, Watson & Woods

2009-07-17T16:29:00.000-07:00

Cool weather and windy conditions were evident today in the second round of the British Open Golf Championship.

59 year old Tom Watson made a long Birdie shot on the par 4 18th hole to take a share of the lead going the final two days at the 138th Open Championship.

29 year old Steve Marino Post a 2-under 68 in the second round to claim his half of the lead.

Tiger Woods finishes the 2nd round with 4 over par 74 after double bogeys on the 10th and the 13th hole and missing a couple of birdie shots needed in the last 4 holes.

In an interview after the second round Tiger said he had problems and problems during the day and had figured if he could birdie the last 4 holes he would make it into the cut but he only birdied two of the holes. He said he was going to head home.

Good Luck to Tom Wastson, we old folks have to stick together.

Develope Your Own Golf Style!

2009-06-29T14:05:00.000-07:00

Some beginners think that all they have to do is mimic V.J. Singh’s or Tiger Woods’ every move and voila! Instant golf success!

Unfortunately, it’s not that easy.

Really, no two people ever swing at the ball in the same way. Because of your unique body build, you develop your own individual set of muscles. A method of golf used by one person who’s of a different build and has developed a different set of muscles may not be of value to you. Golf will always be individual. Find a method of playing that produces results for you, and then go with it.

While it’s often a waste of time to try to copy someone else’s style or imitate someone else to a T, coaching by a professional can help in finding a fault that you've developed and getting suggestions on how to make corrections. But you want to hire someone who works with the natural swing you have rather than a teacher who tries to teach you something totally different.

If you hire a pro, make sure he is a top notch player. You don’t just want him to stand there and watch you swing either. Have him actually show you how to get out of sand, mud, and water and the principles of some less obvious shots. Then you’ll really be getting value for your money!

When you’re ready to play a game, and you’re faced with a shot - make your decision on how you're going to do things. Don’t be persuaded to change your methods every time you have a bad game.

Granted, some techniques really are fundamental principles and need to be observed. But it’s impossible to make a shot and the whole time be thinking of seven or eight things like your grip, where your feet are, where the ball is, keep your eye on the ball, follow through, keep your head straight, etc.

Here are two basic tips to improve your individual game.

The one foundation you need no matter what stroke you’re making, no matter what club you’re playing with, is balance. You must keep balanced during the striking of the ball.

Another basic tip is to always keep your eye on the ball. Make sure any stance you take allows you to see the ball from every point of the stroke.

Take your time and develop your own methods that work for you. And when you’re doing well, be sure to give the kid who’s trying to mimic you the advice above!
