Will Ray Romano Break 80 on the Haney Project?

Christian — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 18:34:03 +0000

After checking out the first installment of the new season of the Golf Channel's "Haney Project", I'm pretty convinced that Ray Romano has a solid enough game to be able to break 80 one day, with the help of Hank. First off, it's obvious that it's a serious goal of Ray's to do this. You can tell he loves the game and practices, so that's half the battle in my book. Fundamentally, he isn't horrible. You saw Hank point out that he's coming over the top because he takes it too ...

Tiger Will Speak…This Friday 2-19..Press Conference.

Christian — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 20:10:45 +0000

Looks like we'll finally get to hear from Tiger this Friday, as he's scheduled a press conference at 11:00am ET which will be shown on The Golf Channel. I'm guessing we'll probably get an idea of when he'll be returning to competitive golf and probably some version of an apology, but who knows really. Maybe he'll announce his retirement from the game..or that he's marrying one of his mistresses. Anything is possible at this point. This will be the first we've heard from Tiger since the car crash and ensuing circus ...

John Daly Says Goodbye to Golf

Christian — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:59:28 +0000

Breaking News.. After shooting a second round 71 at Torrey Pines Friday, John Daly announced that he was quitting golf and the PGA Tour. He cited that he doesn't have the game to compete and is "tired of embarrassing myself". Daly shot a 79 on day one of the Farmers Insurance Open and missed the cut at a +6 total. We'll have to see if JD is just ticked about another missed cut or if he's seriously quitting the tour and golf forever. You'll find any updates on this store ...

Your Golf Game Needs a Pre-Shot Routine

Christian — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 21:37:35 +0000

What's one of the things all professional golfers have in common? Yeah, you guessed it, they all have a pre-shot routine they they follow almost to the letter. Now why is it that so many amateur / recreational golfers don't follow this cue from the pro's? We're all wishing that we had the same game as the guys on Tour. Trying to hit the ball as far and score as low as we can, but I'll estimate that 99% of amateur golfers don't even have a consistent pre-shot routine. If ...

Mitsubishi Fubuki Tour Shaft Review

Christian — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:56:53 +0000

I've been meaning to post this review on the Mitsubishi Fubuki Tour shaft for a while now, but just hadn't gotten around to it. A few months ago, Mitsubishi was nice enough to provide a Fubuki 73 Stiff flex shaft for me to test. I was extremely excited to give this thing a ride as lots of big name players including Phil Mickelson. The S flex Fubuki Tour features 3.3 degrees of torque and is a mid/high launch shaft which should be about perfect for my swing specs. They don't ...

Go Green with Stainless Steel Water Bottles

Christian — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:47:33 +0000

If you take water with you on the golf course when you play (which you should be doing), you most likely fill up a plastic water bottle or buy a bottle that you can carry in your golf bag or cart. I've been doing this for years, and never really thought much about it, but that adds up to a lot of plastic bottles that need to be disposed of. Even if you recycle the plastic, that's still waste that has to be processed. I started doing some research on a ...

Happy New Year – What are your golf resolutions for 2010?

Christian — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 18:01:19 +0000

A new year is upon us once again and it's time for the annual resolutions that we will work so hard to follow for 3 weeks, and then completely forget about for 49 weeks. Honestly, I've pretty much given up making New Years Resolutions, but I am going to make a good effort to improve a few area of my golf game. (1) Make more putts inside 10 feet. I can't tell you how many of these I miss each round, which would result in so many more birdies. I ...

Best of the Tour Golf Blog 2009

Christian — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 18:30:46 +0000

Here's a recap of some of the best articles here on the Tour Golf Blog for 2009. Some of these stories we'd just as soon forget, but I'd like to think that they were all informative and helpful, in some small way to you guys. We're looking forward to the 2010 golf season, which should prove to be interesting at the very least. I'm pretty sure we'll have a few more contests and giveaways in 2010, plus you'll get even more of the sarcastic golf commentary that you've come to ...
