Editor’s Note: A profile of Yani Tseng appears on pg. 74.
Man, those editors at Golf Magazine are quick with the comebacks! After LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan politely but resolutely roasted their ridiculous decision to name Rory McIlroy their Player of the Year instead of everyone's obvious choice, Ya N...
I’m Back! Miss Me?
Hey all, the move from Dunkirk to Hamburg not only took up much more of my time than I hoped, but also involved a switch in our internet service provider. It turns out the phone line to our new home was damaged while the computer we left in the old ho...
Paging the Asahi Shimbun
I've never had to call out an entire newspaper before, but after reading "S. Korean golfers dominate Japan, world," by Atsuo Negishi and Issei Sakakibara (courtesy of a thread at Seoul Sisters.com), I have to question the Asahi Shimbun's editorial judg...
Ai Miyazato: "When I Get Stuck in My Head…"
Pretty boilerplate pre-tournament interview clips from the Women's British Open interviews with Ai Miyazato and Cristie Kerr until about the 2:45 mark:A female reporter asked Miyazato about how she decides when to ask her translator for help in intervi...
Paging Mick Elliott
I'm beginning to think Golf Fanhouse has it in for the LPGA. After getting rid of Shane Bacon, who at least caddies for Erica Blasberg every once in a while, they've come up with a new winner in Mick Elliott, who won't let an opportunity to diss the L...
Paging Bill Huffman…and Geoff Shackelford
Bill Huffman is a very angry man right now. And it's hard for me to blame him. If it were the Wegmans in Rochester that had bitten the dust and not the Phoenix event in his neck of the, uh, desert, I'd be far madder than he is. But with Geoff Shacke......
Paging Global Golf Post
Following a suggestion from a long-time reader, I subscribed to Global Golf Post, a new Orlando-based digital magazine edited by Brian Hewitt (formerly of Golf Channel), in hopes that I'd learn something new about golf on this planet. Well, after read...
Paging Shane Bacon
I usually reserve this kind of title for established golf journalists who write a boneheaded column, but Shane Bacon really brought teh stupid yesterday over at Golf Fanhouse, so he can join Ron Sirak, Steve Elling, Gary Van Sickle, and Jason Sobel in ...
Paging Steve Elling…Yet Again
My old buddy Steve Elling is at it again in his Up & Down column this week. Sure, he makes some good points about Carolyn Bivens's good points and accurately identifies Ji-Yai Shin as the front-runner for both Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year...
Futures Tour Saturday: Onechan & Imoto @ Drumlins
Yesterday, onechan, imoto, Grandpa Bob, Grandma Joy, and I drove from Clinton to Syracuse to meet my uncle at Drumlins, the site of this week's Futures Tour event. I was hoping that imoto's 2nd tournament and onechan's 3rd would be the one where we co...
