Volume Ninety-Nine

Zach Johnson just petitioned the PGA Tour to hold all events in Georgia.

Hitting the LinksSure, the one weekend in which I didn’t watch any golf we have the Cinderella story that is Zach Johnson winning again, Lorena Ochoa continuing to dominate the LPGA Tour, Padraig winning on his home turf, and Seve making his debut on the Champions Tour. I need TiVo!

This week we have a recap of The AT&T Classic, an Irishman winning the Irish Open, and and some numbers to make your head spin.

Volume Ninety-Eight

You have to wonder what Rick Smith is thinking about his former pupil.

Hitting the LinksI know the PGA Tour guys play for a ton of money and that this is their livelihood and all, but man do they play slow. The biggest culprit to slow play in the United States might be watching Tour players and their pre-shot routines. Just hit the ball!

Good drama with Sean O’Hair matching Lefty down the stretch until he hit a couple of balls that needed life preservers on the most over-hyped hole in golf. And just what the heck is up with Sergio and his relief drops?

This week we have a recap of The Players, the Michelob Ultra Open, and a gracious display of charity.

Volume Ninety-Seven

Tiger three-putts, Mi Hyun Kim misses a five-foot putt to win in regulation, and why the heck is Nick Faldo so nice?

Hitting the LinksThe Wachovia served up some double and triple bogeys down the stretch to make Tiger’s latest victory quite entertaining. And not to gloat (ok, maybe a little) but I had Steve Stricker on my team in our fantasy golf league (along with Mr. Woods).

This week we have a recap of the Wachovia Championship, the SemGroup Championship, and the double standard that exists on the PGA Tour.

Volume Ninety-Six

Global warming will not end civilization as we know it, the six hour round will first.

Scott Verplank won the Byron Nelson, Silvia Cavalleri held off Lorena Ochoa at the Corona Morelia Championship, and a few guys are miffed about Phil Mickelson skipping the pro-am last week.

All important, but we have bigger fish to fry: curbing the proliferation of slow play at a golf course near you. So quit pacing off your yardages, pick up that fourth putt, and remember that your pre-shot routine does not have to last longer than any of The Lord of the Rings movies.

This week we have some causes and cures and an etiquette refresher to speed up your round and make it more enjoyable.

Volume Ninety-Five

Watney wins in Louisiana, Phil adds to his coaching staff and the cure for the banana ball.

Yet another Nationwide Tour graduate takes his winning ways to the big leagues.

This week we have a recap of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Phil gets another coach, and we explore a cure for your banana ball.

Volume Ninety-Four

Mother Nature is the real number one golfer in the world.

Well, productivity will take a hit in corporate America as the final round of the PGA Tour’s Verizon Heritage will be played today due to some atmospheric circulation on Sunday. Also, just what the heck is going on at the LPGA Tour the last few weeks? You do not want to be the leader going into the Sunday round.

This week we have a recap of the Verizon Heritage (sort of), the collapse at the Ginn Open, and needy Sergio.

Volume Ninety-Three

Zach Johnson, Masters Champion. Has a nice ring to it.

Hittin' the LinksThe kid from Cedar Rapids, Iowa showed some big heart and deft putting down the stretch as he carded a final-round 69 to win the coveted green jacket at the 2007 Masters Tournament.

This week we have recaps of the Masters, the Masters, and the Masters.

Volume Ninety-Two

The 18th at Redstone claims a few more victims to it’s watery grave.

Hittin' the LinksThe group of Adam Scott, Stuart Appleby, and Jeff Maggert looked like me and my playing buddies during the final round as, one after another, they deep-sixed their golf balls on #18.

This week we have a recap of the Shell Houston Open, a meltdown at the Kraft Nabisco, and what Phil is serving for dinner at the Masters.

Volume Ninety-One

Tiger wins, Sergio spits and the LPGA bans testosterone.

Hittin' the LinksIf Sergio was as accurate with his putter as he is with his spit, he probably would have a few more victories by now.

This week we have a recap of the WGC CA Championship, the LPGA’s banned substances list, and Gary McCord dishes on life after the Masters.
