R.I.P Arnold Palmer

One of the world's greatest golfers has passed away at the age of 87. Arnold Palmer the seven time majors winning golfer and one of the first members of the World Golf Hall of Fame is the beloved golfer who passed away.

His game was peaking when television was becoming more popular.

 Here are some highlights....

Do you have any memories of Arnold Palmer? Feel free to share in the comments.

Is Tiger Woods Back?

I just published an article about the  Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship you can read it on Yahoo Sports here. Tiger Woods finished tied for third. Some folks say he has lost his killer instincts on the golf course as he faltered in the fourth round hitting a 72. It was Tiger's first golf event of 2012. I think Tiger will win his fair share if he continues to be in the hunt. Finishing third is not that bad. I don't know if he will ever be like he was in his prime but is Tiger back? Is he going to be in the hunt most events and winning a few here and there?  


Here are some highlights of Tiger Woods over the weekend:

Here are highlights from the final round:

I think it will be fun to watch. It will be interesting to find out if Tiger is back or not. What do you think?

Back in Swing! Golf is Back

New Year's also ushered in the new golf season. I am continuing my golf beat this season. So far I have covered all the PGA Tour events and the European Tour. I may dive into the other pro tours once they get started.

First off was the 2012 African Open which you can read about here.

Second was the Tournament of Champions on the PGA side.You can read about it here.

Here is Steve Stricker in action off of Youtube...

Then back to Africa for the Joburg open which you can read about here.Below are some images from the open from youtube...

Finally the Sony Open on the PGA side you can read my take on it here. Here is some golf action from that open..

Now that it is 28 degrees outside it would be nice to be sent to some of these locations to cover them in person...

Golf Still Going Strong!

Drama and Competition brought the two top golfers on the PGA Tour to Florida to play the final PGA event. The Fall Series events were supposed to be the land of the unknown golfers. However, this year Tiger Woods made an appearance at one event to try to fix his game. The final event featured Luke Donald and Webb Simpson to battle it out for the PGA Money title. As a golf fan you have to enjoy it. Here is my reaction to Luke Donald's Big Win.

Down a level and a couple of hours north in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Gavin Coles won the first Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open. I am excited Sawgrass was able to get a Nationwide Tour event to go along with The Players Championship. It is the next to last event on the tour and I love how they have added more drama by having 25 PGA cards on the line for the top 25 money finishers. You can read my reaction to this event here.

Yes it is late October but there is still some great Pro Golf action going on.

A to Z: Golf

Today the Masters Golf Tournament is in full swing. Today was the first time I have published a golf article on Yahoo Sports. I have published articles on baseball, football, basketball, soccer, woman's basketball and now golf. Here is a link to the article. The article is a look at Masters Champions who were unexpected. It was neat to research these underdogs of golf.

Other than that it has been a crazy 24 hours. My daughter went to the ER but is okay. An article came up short and was rejected and I received an unexpected press credentials. So, now I will have to scramble to make arrangements since the event is 900 miles away.
