HSBC Women's Champions Final Round Duel: Arimura vs. Webb

The final round of the HSBC Women’s Champions looks like one of those great things in golf: a good old-fashioned duel. If stroke play can ever look like match play then this is it. Separated by just one stroke, and a further five shots clear of the rest of the field going into the final round, Chie Arimura and Karrie Webb have been conducting their own private battle. Tim Maitland reports.

Winter Competitions

It is with regret, due to the extended closure of the course, that the Gents Committee has taken a decision to cancel the winter knockout competitions for this season. However, given the number of players that have already submitted cards for the winter league, the committee also decided to continue this competition, albeit with a smaller number of counting cards. Accordingly, given that the

Course Update

I have just spoken to David Norman and the centre will have 18 holes open tomorrow, almost certainly with summer greens in operation.They have been pumping tens of thousands of gallons of water off the 11th Fairway which is now clear.So a good golfing weekend in prospect.

Slow Motion Bunker Shot

Take note to how far I am hitting behind the golf ball. To hit the ball out of the bunker, high and soft, you need to hit at least 2 - 3 inches behind the golf ball, allowing the sand to project the ball out of the bunker.

Rule Change

At the beginning of last year (2010) there was a rule change about grooves on the entire set of golf clubs. This rule made it so grooves could not be too deep and too effective out of the rough. All in all, I thought it was a great move for the game of golf. For the most part, this rule didn't even effect the consumer, until now. Most amateurs can continue to use the old wedges with no problem.

The Practice Tee

What actually consists of a good practice?I suggest a routine.Having a consistent practice routine can create a lot of confidence, not only consistency, but also a well balanced approach. I often see amateurs take little to no swings with the irons before they jump to the woods, in particular the driver. Most are drawn in to the power of the driver. They want to hit the ball far and hard! This

Bubba Watson withdraws after shooting 75 (or hurting stomach muscle)

In a sign of the times that 1 million dollars is not enough of an incentive to play golf for four rounds, Bubba Watson has withdrawn from the Northern Trust Open due to a hurt stomach muscle. Excuse me?  Yes, a hurt stomach muscle. I wasn't aware the stomach had muscles, especially for most professional golfers. Watson said he wanted to be ready for the World Match Play which begins this coming

The 10th at Riviera presents risk and reward

The 10th hole at Riviera is one of the most famous short par-4s in the world due to the various challenges and options that it offers. Listed at 315 yards, the players have the option to try and drive it or lay back in the fairway. The small green is surrounded by bunkers so even if a player lays back, it's still a difficult approach shot, especially with a back right pin position. Take a tour of

John Cook says Tiger's swing is starting to click

Tiger Woods may be on the verge of a breakthrough in his swing — at least according to John Cook, who spent most of Tuesday with the former world No. 1.“He’s excited about what he’s doing,” Cook said Thursday at a press conference for the Champions Tour’s ACE Group Classic. “It’s just a matter of getting it onto the golf course under competition and what he and Sean [Foley] have been working on.

Tiger Spitting Is Not His Biggest Problem

So with all the publicity about Tiger Woods spitting on the 12th green at the Dubai Desert Classic last Sunday still reverberating around, I feel there is something more important that he needs to address if he wants to get his reputation back.Anyone who went to watch the Pro-Am at the Dubai Desert Classic will have seen Tiger playing his rounds with 3 guys, one of whom was a Colonel in the US

As of Monday, it finally clicked to him … where the

Are we taking Tiger's spitting in Dubai to seriously? Some don't think so

Tiger Woods, returning to his favourite Magnolia Drive, receives his pairing sheet for the 75th Masters at Augusta. I submit that he might like, even as a four-time winner of the green jacket, to reacquaint himself with two paragraphs inscribed on the back of that pristine document.Bobby Jones, father of the Masters and president in perpetuity of Augusta National, pronounces thus: “In golf,

Mickelson already looking forward to "green jacket" title defense

In the seven years since Phil Mickelson rolled in an 18-footer for birdie to win his first Masters, he has made a point in every ensuing Masters of returning to that same spot on the 18th green at Augusta National to re-create the magic with a few practice putts.Since then, the most memorable shot Mickelson has struck at Augusta came last year at the par-5 13th hole on Sunday, when he ripped a

Big name pairings becoming the norm

Last week the European Tour paired the top three in the world, Westwood, Kaymer, and Woods together to create excitement and increase ratings. This first started at the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines when the USGA paired Woods, Mickelson, and Scott, the top three at the time.Either way, it's a great idea and should be done for every tournament. The PGA has taken notice and put together some

Tiger Woods learns that loose lips incur fines on European Tour

A portion of the $3 million appearance fee Tiger Woods reportedly earned in Dubai will go towards paying off a fine incurred on the 12th hole of Emirates Golf Course.Announcers were quick to berate him about it."Disgusting, what he has just done there," said Sky Sports commentator Ewen Murray. "But there are some parts of him that are just arrogant and petulant. Somebody now has to come behind

I was marshalling with Lee Westwood and Peter Hansen and up to the end of the 16th Westwood was still in contention. However his tee shot off the 17th

Counter Intuitive

One of the most common ways that golfers make their game worse is by trying to solve a swing problem by their self. Below is an example of a golfers attempt to self correct his swing.

Golf fans policing PGA Tour: Good or bad for the game?
