It was a crazy day in Irving, TX, to say the least! Tiger Woods missed his first cut in 142 events, dating all the way back to 1998. He holds the record for most cuts in a row, and it will more than likely stand for quite some time, if not forever. “I just didn’t quite have it,” Woods said. He also had this to say when the media asked him what the worst part of the streak ending was. “I don’t get that opportunity to win the tournament.”
With that being said, Mr. Woods wasn’t the only story at the Byron Nelson Championship on Friday. Two guys who are basically “unknowns” share the lead at one of the top events on tour. That is right, Brett Wetterich and rookie Sean O’Hair sit atop the leaderboard going into the weekend and will play in the final group on Saturday.
I’ve always thought the strength of my golf game is my putting. But a friend of mine who also was a golf instructor for years tells me that my iron play is definitely my strength. Perhaps that is because my first set of clubs were hand-me-down Browning blades from my dad. I love the the feel and look of great irons, which is why I’ve been using Hogan irons for the last couple of years. I didn’t lose a step when I put the

I own a pair of Oakleys that are so old I can’t even figure out what model they are (I think they’re similar to the Fives 2.0 series). Anyway, I have kept them for so long because I can’t seem to find another pair that will take their place. I love their gold iridium lenses and it seems that no other company makes something similar (or as good).
A bogey-free 67 placed Annika Sorenstam near the top of the leaderboard in opening-round action today. Challengers were all fighting for the right to be in the lead, but it was Laura Davies who moved into the coveted position with a 6-under 66. Right behind Sorenstam was

I’ve always had a soft spot for the traditional blade style putter used by Ben Crenshaw and Phil Mickelson, playing such models as the Wilson 8802 and “the” Original Putter by Arnold Palmer. To me, there isn’t a more timeless club. It oozes tradition. Old video footage shows Jones, Palmer, Hagan and Snead using them, yet they’re almost as forgotten as persimmon due to the current trend of mallet putters. Much to my dismay, I haven’t found many blades around anymore, so when I saw that Yes! developed the Sophia, I had to try it.
Michelle Wie is just your everyday 15-year-old female golfer. Well, apart from the fact that she has played in two PGA Tour events and in the final pairing with Annika Sorenstam on Sunday in an LPGA major.
