  1. Same here.... never seen Anna Rawson before, but she got my vote!
  2. Catherine Bell is a nice choice!
  3. Tiger Woods for having transformed the game of golf!
  4. I watched last year and the sound and colors are great! It really looks like you are on the course!
  5. Great post! My favorite movie in 2006 was Superman Returns (very nostalgic!)
  6. He is on the top of the leaderboard (after 3 rounds)... let's see if he can win this one (finally!)
  7. Se Ri Pak has a nice body???????? Dude, are you sure?? In Korea, they all make fun of her big, thick legs! Maybe a soccer player has more slender legs!!!
  8. In my opinion, sooner or later we will catch some players cheating.... I know that golf is a game of honor, etc. etc. but this is also professional sport with big hefty checks on the stake.... Check the major league baseball, players got steroids, cork in their bats, and who knows what else!
  9. I was looking for the book but I could not find one at a reasonable price.... When I read it, I will tell my honest opinion... but I agree with other users, Dave Pelz does not give the most exciting or easiest explanations.... I have always believed that a good teacher knows how to communicate in precise and concise terms... (i.e. the sandtrap.com golf reviewers are just great!)
  10. Teaching Pro (Tour Players).... very demanding but very gratifying task! Come on! Never thought to be David Leadbetter, Hank Haney or Butch Harmon?!
  11. What's your opinion on this issue? Is it fair to disqualify a player for a wrong scorecard (especially if the mistake was unintentional?) Don't you agree we need a more fair and updated ruling on this one? I might suggest players to get E&O; (errors & omission) insurance!
  12. Great timing and great thread! The kid is awesome for many aspects! He finally makes us forget all the crap coming from the Michelle Wie's team (and I am a MW fan!) On last night interview, Tadd was so humble and bare to the earth on his comments ("I might not win this tournament, but I am going to try my best!") Well, looking at his today's score.... he is really trying his best and I would really like to see a new "Cinderella" story! Go Tadd!
  13. Thank You! As we say in Italy, "Precise and Concise!" That is why I love to be in this forum!
  14. For me... short game. The days I post good scores... it all goes back to how I chipped/putted well... and recently there aren't so many good rounds... C'est la vie!
  15. I agree with Maverick... Golf on Golf Channel is different... maybe too different from the past. The Nick-Kelly duo is "so so", too.
  16. Well said, Hogan Fan!
  17. Hi Applebyfan, Stuart did look too much in shape this Mercedes Benz Open... unfortunately to our expectations...
  18. Are you a psychic reader???
  19. Nice post... I apologize for the deviation but last night they showed an interview with Tadd Fujikawa and the kid said: " I might not win this tournament but I want to try my best!" Well, totally different approach with M.W.... I really hope she learns her lesson and "sticks" where she belongs. (and I am a M.W. fan)
  20. Most birdies in a round: 5 (but I ended up with only 71! I basically ruined everything at the last 2 holes (double bogey, double bogey)!!! all my partners got so excited that I blew it!!!).... .... but not misunderstand me, I am not blaming them, but they did a great 'damage'! Lowest score: 67 (3 under par)
  21. Sandtrap.com is one of the best for sure!
  22. In 1990, I was playing a round in Italy at the Marco Simone C.C. (near Rome) by myself. In front of me, there was a foursome of old, rich and snobby club members. It was during a weekday and usually local rules require smaller group to pass larger groups. These guys were not allowing me to pass for any reasons, and, since I look Asian, they thought I could not speak Italian (I won't put the details of their comments as I don't want to offend anyone, but let's just say their comments were far away to be politically correct!) Anyway, at the sixth hole, because of the design of the course, I ended up to be right in front of them on the tee box. They looked each other and one of them said: "what should we do? should we make the "bum" pass?" One of them looked at me and arrogantly said: "you!....go!" I raised my hand as a sign of appreciation but I did not say a word and I acted as I was really a foreigner. Well, I guess it was frustration of waiting behind or feel for revenge on their comments, so I concentrated and committed a lot on that driver shot. When I hit it, I hit it so straight, so hard and so long that they were all astonished and one of them was mumbling "wow"... it was an uphill par 4 - 400 yards, and I hit driver and wedge, so I must have hit a 300+ yard driver!) After the shot, I looked at them and with a smile I said in perfect Italian: "The 'Bum'... thanks you all for your generosity!" I will never forget their embarassed faces.... Well, that was definitely one of my best golf moments ever!
  23. I was busy at work but I found some time on Sunday afternoon... The broadcast is ok (better than what I expected) but I personally am not ready to have a lady (Kelly) for so many hours explaining the shots. Faldo was ok, but less brilliant than the usual... I don't know, I sound soo picky.... I guess the other channels have "spoiled" me....
  24. Hi, I was curious to see if there are any soccer/football fans in this forum.... I heard a news just of yesterday which revealed that in 2006, the US biggest sport event watched in TV was the soccer/football FIFA World Cup Final with 260 millions viewers! In the second spot, the American Football Superbowl with only 90 millions viewers. It seems very obvious and predictable that Soccer is going to become a very popular sport in US! (hopefully!)
