John Daly has long been one of the most talented players on the PGA tour. His accomplishments include being named Rookie of the Year in 1991, winner of the coveted PGA Championship in 1991, and he became the British Open Champion in 1995-his second “Major” title of his career. Along the way John has won [...]

by Kevin D. Rolle (Copyright 2008. All rights reserved). We all know that fanatical golfers are a different breed from your 'garden variety', 'run-of-the-mill' version. They are obsessed with this sport, and take their devotion to it to an entirely different level. Which usually means a huge investment of time for both playing and watching the game. Which also means little spare time for

I'm Italian and I am a golfer," says the old guy," and that's why I'm in such good shape." I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways." "Have a glass of vino, and all is well." "Well," says th

It's a rare situation when a blogger has the opportunity to talk about a family member's athletic achievements in their posts. Mama McNabb immediately comes to mind as one example, although her comments probably get just a little more coverage than mine.But today, I bring you a new story on my "Worst Avid Golfer" father, published on none other than ESPN.com.It's written by ESPN.com golf editor Jason Sobel, who gets the golf audience up-to-date on what a bad amateur golfer from western PA plans to be doing when The Players' Championship is played this weekend, for those who care. But seriously, it's a nice little retrospective on that fateful day in the '80s and how painful it truly was to witness. This is one of those stories that would've been tailor-made for blogs had it happened today,

It's one of the most prized, and hardest shots in golf: a hole in one, or an ace. Imagine if someone did it not once, but twice on consecutive holes. For Ted Kemp, that's exactly what happened to him.At the Muscatine Municipal Golf Course in Iowa, Kemp scored back-to-back holes in one, both par 3 holes, with one 130 yards and the other 182 yards. Kemp used a pitching wedge for the 130 yard hole, and an 8-iron for the 182 yard hole.Golf Digest did a study in 2000, and concluded that the odds of getting two holes in one in the same round is about 67 million to one. As for Kemp, he finished his day with a score of 78, citing the two holes in one as "pretty unreal." Source: Yahoo

A golfer tees up his ball on the first tee, took a mighty swing and hit his ball into a clump of trees. He found his ball and saw an opening between two trees he thought he could hit through.Taking out his 3-wood, he took another mighty swing; the ball hit a tree, bounced back, hit him in the forehead and killed him.As he approached the gates of Heaven, St. Peter saw him coming and asked, "Are you a good golfer", to which the man replied: "Got here in two, didn't I?"

It was the great “Hammerin’” Hank Aaron who started the recent glorification of Tiger Woods. He called Tiger “The most dominating athlete in sports history,” and other sports columnists, reporters and bar commentators have now taken the bait and asked if he is the most dominant athlete ever, and in some cases, the greatest athlete ever. There is no question that he is the most dominant golfer right now – and probably will be the greatest player in the history of that sport once he is finished. At just 32 he has won 13 major championships, has 63 PGA tour victories and has won all four majors in a row (though not in the same year). When he is done, the records he will set may stand for centuries. However, comparing his accomplishments to dominant athletes in other sports is

Rory McIlroy, who is eyeing a place in this year's European Ryder Cup team, was awe-struck by the performance of his eight-year-old playing partner in Wednesday's Malaysian Open pro-am. McIlroy recorded a hole-in-one on the way to a nine-under 63 at Kota Permai Golf and Country Club but it was young nine-handicapper Galvin Green who left a lasting impression on the 18-year-old from Northern Ireland. "He (Green) is absolutely awesome," McIlroy told the European Tour's official Web site (www.europeantour.com). "I really can't get over how good he is and that really made the day. "He is an incredibly talented prospect for the future. It was nice to play with him and even though I played pretty well, he made me look pretty average." The 4-foot-7 Green, who romped t

           This story reminded me of Adam Sandler in "Happy Gilmore"VENICE, Florida (AP) -- A man who lost his ball in a golf course pond nearly lost a limb when a nearly 11-foot alligator latched on to his arm and pulled him in the water, authorities said. Bruce Burger, 50, was trying to retrieve his ball Monday from a pond on the sixth hole at the Lake Venice Golf Club. The alligator latched on to Burger's right forearm and pulled him in the pond, said Gary Morse, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Burger used his left arm to beat the reptile until it freed him. "I saw him reach down to get his ball and he yelled" for help, said Janet Pallo, who was playing the fifth hole and ran over to drive the man to the clubhouse. Burger, from Lenoir City, Tennessee, was taken to a hospital but was not seriously injured, Morse said Tuesday. It took seven Fish and Wildlife officers an hour to trap the one-eyed

The LPGA is really picking up steam with me these days. When you can boast of players like the aforementioned Suzann Pettersen, Paula Creamer, Natalie Gulbis, plus 18-year-old Morgan Pressel and a well-toned Annika Sorenstam, you've really got something good going.Yesterday, Pettersen shot a 67 in the final round of the McDonald's LPGA Championship and won her first Major. It was her second Tour title (two more than $20 million you-know-who).Suzann is a five-time Norwegian Amateur Champion and won the British Girls Championship in 1999, so this is no fluke win.I may actually have to watch an LPGA event soon. The chance to see all these beauties on the course, plus adding in the always-looming Michelle Wie mental breakdown, makes this almost must-see-TV.

==========Role reversalAn escaped convict broke into a house and tied up a young couple who had been sleeping in the bedroom.As soon as he had a chance, the husband turned to his voluptuous young wife, bound up on the bed in a skimpy nightgown, and whispered,"Honey, this guy hasn't seen a woman in years. Just cooperate with anything he wants. If he wants to have sex with you, just go along with it and pretend you like it. Our lives depend on it.""Dear," the wife said, spitting out her gag, "I'm so relieved you feel that way, because he just told me he thinks you have a really nice ass."

It's day one of the Nedbank Golf Challenge. I have just come back from the 2nd fairway on the Gary Player Country Club. Water bottle in hand, I strode out to the 1st tee and enjoyed the drive of Colin Montgomerie, who put it a little right. Not the greatest start for the big Scot. One of the cool things about being in the press corps is being given an "inside the ropes" armband. It allows be to get so close to the golfers that I could actually reach out and touch them.Ernie and Charl walked past a little later and were forced to hit thier little white balls onto the 1st green and i waled with them to that green. Charl put his 15 foot putt in the hole for a birdie but has since dropped back down to even par through 5 holes.The heat is going to be tough today with a breeze to cool things off. But if you have ever played the Country Club, you will know that there are spots where the wind will never reach. The wind WILL pick up later and should keep the scores under control.At time of wri

South African golfer Stacy Bregman is flying high. The Joburg-based 20-year-old has recently earned her Ladies European Tour card, placing third at the tour school in Spain. Bregman competed against 92 players from 25 countries for just 25 allocated playing cards. This career-changing milestone comes hot on her October 2006 triumph which saw her compete as an integral part of the South African team that won the World Amateur Team Championships, beating 41 countries in a nail-biting showdown against Sweden - the first time a South African team has won the championship.It's all part of the game. Says Bregman, "Coming from an amateur background - where you only win trophies - turning professional is very exciting. It's really great to earn playing privileges. It means everything starts now. I can start earning money, and can start supporting myself. Literally everything changes" Bregman has her eye firmly on the future: "Europe is a great starting ground, as I'll be pla

"The greatest liar in the world is the golfer how claims he plays the game for merely exercise" Tommy BoltI am doubly cursed as a golfer and a Brit through my almost pathological fascination with the weather in the UK. Nearly every day I am looking; will I get to play at the weekend? The computer says NO! Well Saturday morning dawned, well got a little lighter, and it was not looking good. That super fine rain that gets you wetter than when it buckets down was being blown almost horizontal across the back garden. Ever the optimist of I went to the course; on arrival the rain had stopped, well almost, and after a brief check of sanity my golfing buddies, Dad and Rob, we declared ourselves mad and off we went for at least 9 holes. Buffeted and often rained on we played something similar but not quite like golf. Half of the course was closed due to the bad weather so we could only play 1,2,3,7,8,9,10 the old 11th and 18th .
