Michelle Wie To Play On PGA Tour Again

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

After forgetting to sign her scorecard, Michelle Wie got disqualified from the State Farm classic last weekend. But that embarrassment is not enough to keep her down. Or, keep her focused on the LPGA. She simply refuses to concentrate on women’s competition alone. She announced yesterday that she would be going up against the men yet again at the Legends Reno – Tahoe Open later this month. This is the 8th time she has played on the PGA Tour.

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Tomorrow five teams kick off golf’s “ultimate road rally” in St. Augustine, Florida. They will be competing in golf challenges at landmarks and little-known places, championship holes and holes-in-the wall on the series premiere of Highway 18. Contestants will be asked to search within the ruins of an old fort for their way to the World Golf Hall of Fame. There, they will come face-to-face with Arnold Palmer as a “surprise visit” before sending them to TPC Sawgrass for one of the most pressure-packed golf challenges they have ever experienced.

The best part of this new reality series – it is hosted by GolfNow.com Trivia Show Host Keri Murphy.

All Keri Murphy fans should be tuned in tomorrow at 10 p.m. ET for the series premiere.

Tiger Who?

Friday, July 18th, 2008

It is cold, wet and windy in England, and Tiger Woods is no where to be found. To some, this may be reason to miss the final rounds of this week’s Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Any fans deciding not to watch, however, really don’t know what they are missing…

Greg Norman, the Shark and former World No. 1 portrayed some of that old brilliance that won him two previous Open Championships. After two rounds, the 53-year old Australian sits alone in second place at even par. Absent from the limelight for most of the decade, Norman is showing us he can still play with the young guns of the PGA. Maybe his recent marriage to former tennis star Chris Evert has put a bounce back in his step.

Those hoping for David Duval to regain the swing he had 10 years ago found him looking good through the first two rounds. The former Open champion and World No. 1 is in a tie for fourth place at two over par. Let’s hope he keeps it up through the weekend and gives himself a chance coming down the stretch on Sunday.

What about Rocco Mediate? The 2008 US Open contender is continuing his outstanding season by putting himself in contention again. Having been haunted by a bad back for much of his career, Rocco seems to be making the most of this good run of play he has come across. It’s hard not to root for someone who always seems to have a good time, no matter how tense the situation can get.

World’s Largest Indoor Golf Arena Opens 2010

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Love to play golf but don’t love the outdoors? The “World’s Largest Indoor Golf Center” is slated to open 2010 in Amersfoort, Netherlands.

It is not a typical 18-hole course, but rather designed as a golf practice center for short game. It will host a driving range with 34 bays and 15,000 square feet of state-of-the-art golf training facilities complete with synthetic grass, bunkers and water hazards, and 20 ProTee Golf Simulators and 28 hitting bays.

It doesn’t stop there either.

Indoor Golf Arena is open 365 days of the year and offers a top-notch restaurant, comprehensive business facilities including meeting rooms, sky lounges, sky boxes and offices, and kid’s training and wellness center with sauna and spa.

You will also find a bar and lounge area. But don’t worry, it is perfectly legal to be drinking and driving at this facility.

Lefty Makes Ace At Scottish Open

Friday, July 11th, 2008

World No. 2 player Phil Mickelson was struggling to make the cut at Loch Lomond in the Scottish Open this week. During the second round, however, he struck a 5-iron on the 5th hole at 198 yards down to hole it. He followed his ace with a birdie (just missing a 20 foot-eagle putt) and moved himself into contention as he finished the second round at par 67 (4-under). Nice Job for Lefty!

Mickelson counted this ace as somewhere between 15 and 20 of his pro career and celebrated with a bottle of bubbly.
