If You’re Freezing, It Must Be the Start of the 2009 Golf Season

As I write this, the north wind is blowing and the temperature is falling and most of the PGA players are at the Mercedes-Benz Championship at the Kapalua Resort in Maui this week. What’s wrong with this picture? Who knows, if I had studied harder, or...

Scatter Shooting About The 2008 Golf Season

With no Tiger and the twenty-something gang of Kim and Villegas unable to snag a major, Padraig Harrington is the first European to earn the PGA TOUR Player of the Year Award, thanks to finishing the major championship season with wins at the British...

These Desperate Times; Chapter 2

Regular readers and other masochists will recall when I bought my wife golf clubs and lessons for Christmas. As if to confirm my stupidity, those shiny new clubs remain hanging in the garage to this very day. Now and then I ask my wife if I should sell...

A Guide to Baby-Boomer Golf

As we all know baby-boomer is French for old, fat and in many cases slow to accept, or learn new ideas. And let me be the first to confess, I am all of the above and then some. However, as fellow baby-boomers and mocking flat-bellies will soon discover...

Doctors Bury Their Mistakes, Lawyers Sue Theirs & Golfers Go Back to Q-School

In 2000 Notah Begay III had the world on a string. He had just won his first PGA Tournament in 1999 and quickly backed it up with two wins and a spot on the Presidents Cup team in 2000. Life was good. In December 2008 Notah Begay III is not even listed...

When The Wind Blows Your Turkey Away

I hated the wind last year when I wrote most of this article. It’s thanksgiving weekend 2008 and I still hate it. I hate the cold wind worse than the warm wind, but from my perspective playing golf in a twenty mile an hour wind, hot or cold, is harder...

2008 is One of Golf’s Most Exciting Years…With and Without Tiger

As we stock up on the chip and dip and prepare for golf’s silly season on television, I was trying to decide what my favorite moment of the 2008 season was. Sergio Garcia victory at the Players Championship seemed to be the breakthrough win he needed...

Don’t Judge While the Wheel is Still Spinning

We all get judged. How much did you sell today? However, people who make their living playing golf are judged differently. The course as the adjudicator is both fair and brutal and at the end of the week you are either rewarded or ridiculed, all you can...

The King is Dead. Long Live the King; Is the European Tour Becoming the Tour of Choice?

It all started 20 years ago when Greg Norman decided that the PGA Tour was not the center of the universe, and now that same idea is sending Tim Finchem back to the medicine cabinet for another roll of Tums. Who cares if it makes perfect sense for the...

Ranking Your Life

I’m a long way from being famous, but still I put my work out there for thousands of people to read each week. Some of it is good. Some is fair. And, some of it should come with an apology for wasting your time. Over the years, I’m not sure if I have...

Seve Ballesteros Fights for His Life

I admit that I am a fatalist. Much like Red Foxx’s Fred Sanford, I am sure that every pain I have is the “the big one.” As a card-carrying wussie, I’m always amazed at other people’s bravery and grace when faced with great difficulty such as that confronting...

D.A. Weibring, T2G’s Favorite Champions Tour Player, Wins His First Major

Our friend D.A. Weibring had been to the Major Championship well 64 times and come up empty 64 times, but number 65 would be different. With a 2-foot par putt on the 72nd hole, D. A. carded a 9-under 271 to win the Constellation Energy Senior Players...

I’d Rather Be Long Than Smart

I have never met a golfer that didn’t want to be long off the tee. It’s a male thing mostly, but women are not totally immune. You could be five foot nothing and weight 86 pounds and you would still want to be long off the tee. Let’s face it nobody ever...

Life is Hard and Keeping Your Card is Harder

It’s October, meaning if you haven’t secured your 2009 playing card by now you are running out of time. Last year’s PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament was contested over six rounds at two different courses at Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge....

And The FedEx Cup Winner Is…

The FedEx Cup already had its work cut out for it, and now that the U.S. of A. has pounded the festive whey out of the Euros in the Ryder Cup, it may be impossible to get excited about whatever happens. Let’s face it, Vijay Singh is in the same spot that...
