Smith started the year in promising fashion, finishing in a share of 10th at the season-opening RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup in March before missing the cut in seven of h...

Our guest author today is Kenny Read, skipper of the PUMA Ocean Racing boat the Il Mostro. We invited Kenny to join us for our Boston PUMA Open and he had a few things to sayOkay, I guess I should have known. The PUMA Open? Sounds innocent enough right. After all, it’s just golf. I have been sauntering 'round a few golf courses in my day and figure that a scramble style event is pretty painless and typically good fun. Boy am I naive. I've been around this company long enough to know that ...

The Not So Distant Future28 August 2009, 3:05 pm
Movies like “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “Starship Troopers” and “Back to the Future II” prove that predicting the future, though entertaining (yes, I liked Starship Troopers), is almost always dead wrong. That being said, I’m going to try my hand at it and see if I can predict some shifting trends in a game that is in desperate need of a facelift. Golf is played by 57 million people worldwide, 51 million of which will never break 100 and 91% of whom will never belong to country club. ...

Tiger Woods Takes Chevron World Challenge - Is He Back?5 December 2011, 2:43 am
Biggest question... Woods' game still in the woods?
Tiger Woods bested Zach Johnson with an 18th hole birdie, his second straight, to grab his own Chevron World Challenge title. He finished at -10, one clear of Johnson, who he battled all day in a tight back and forth match. No one else really contended, making this almost a match play scenario. Sunday was calm in contrast to the blasts of Santa Ana winds that colored the first three days. His final round 69 erased a one shot deficit to Johns...

Tiger Pulls Smoke and Mirrors Act at Chevron World Challenge (aka Sherwood 18 Open)30 November 2011, 2:35 am
I know we're at the "end" of pro golf season. To be fair, the pro golf season never really ends. They crank the 2012 PGA season up again on January 6, 2012. It's omnipresent. This week's fare is the Chevron World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, CA. Still, Tiger's tourney raises a considerable amount of moolah that benefits his foundation and the Tiger Woods Learning Center, both good causes.
Eighteen players will tee it up on Thursday. That's right, eighteen. We have more ...

Why The US Won The Presidents Cup.21 November 2011, 7:47 am
Outside of the obvious, "We won more matches", "We scored more points", there's one real forehead slapping reason the US squad won this year's and most year's Presidents Cup competitions. We have better players.
According to the Official World Golf Ranking points system as of 11/18/2011 the average ranking of the 12 US players was 18.5. The Internationals 34.6. The 19th ranked player in the world would typically beat the 35th ranked player over a series of matches.

Final score 19-15 in favor of the US squad vs the Internationals in the 2011 Presidents Cup from Melbourne, AU. This was a bit closer in final day singles matches than it appears. Still, the Internationals were faced with an unprecedented task of coming from four points behind on the last day, considering no team has ever overcome a deficit in singles. Four early wins gave the Internationals some false hope. The back loaded US squad prevailed when Cup veterans Fur...
