• The Olympic Club Where Dreams Meet The San Andreas Fault

  One year and one week ago Rory McIlroy had just won the U.S. Open and was on his way to becoming the number one player in the world. Tiger Woods, on the other hand, was struggling. Many experts were questioning if he would ever be the same player again...

• How To Tell If Is Tiger Woods The Best Player In The World

  When I was playing golf last week a bird landed on my head... Really. I was sitting in the cart and a small bird actually landed on top on my head. I’m totally serious.

• The Real “Big Break”: The US Open

  The first winner was Horace Rawlins and the last was Graeme McDowell and in between the best of the best won it. The U.S. Open; to qualify you need a handicap index of 1.4 or better, and then it starts to get hard. An amateur who meets that requirement...

• The Lessons at Bethpage Black

  Someone once said that you should learn something everyday. So what’s the lesson at Bethpage Black and the U. S. Open? Not the obvious one that you and I are not good enough to play in the Open. That’s too easy. I’m looking for something more profound... Posted Jun 18 2009, 02:24 PM by Sam 'Bogey' Johnson with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Sam Johnson, U.S. Open, 2009, Bethpage Black

• I Can’t Wait For the Return to Bad-Ass Bethpage Black

  Like you, I’m watching the St. Jude Classic on the boob-tube, but forgive me because my heart is already moved to Farmingdale, New York and the U. S. Open and Bethpage Black. It’s not news that the USGA selects the most challenging golf courses for the...

• The U. S. Open Goes Virtual And I Think I Can Win It

  Let’s start the conversation by stating I am not a fifteen-year-old gamer sitting around and waiting for the next version of Killzone, or Runes of Magic to be released. So, when I first heard about World Golf Tour ( WGT.com ) virtual golf I didn’t get...

• The Tiger Woods Challenge to 10 Handicappers

  It was just about this time last year when Tiger Woods told reporters that, in general, he considered Oakmont the toughest golf course in America, and furthermore he didn’t think there was any way that a 10-handicapper could break 100 from the back tees...

• Scatter Shooting While Waiting For Tiger

  Every time I think about U.S. Open qualifying I can’t help thinking about the great Roy “Tin Cup” McAvoy. What did Roy say? “Perfection is unattainable.” Roy spoke perhaps the best golf poem ever written, and here it is in its entirety straight from Roy...

• Tiger Proofing The U.S. Open (It’s not as easy as it sounds)

  With only two weeks to go before the 2008 U.S. Open, the question remains. Can anyone beat Tiger Woods at Torrey Pines, even a one legged Tiger Woods? No one could in January when about a third of the field spanked Torrey Pines at the Buick Invitational...

• I’d Like To Go To The Masters... But Just Once

  I have never been to the Masters, and judging by the cost of ticket prices listed below, unless someone dies and leaves me lots of money, I may never go.

• Freak Luck Is A Strange Thing

  By Sam Johnson In the past Argentina has been plagued by inflation. By 1989 inflation had reached 5,000 percent making the nation's currency almost worthless. Imagine being in a golf tournament and the purse was $1,000,000 when you started and $10...
