A lot of golf news regarding Canada from golf bloggers, it seems. I have decided to pay attention, because with the NHL returning, we may not see anything golf-related from up there for a while. First off, Triniman talks about his trip to La Verendrye Golf Course and how pleased he is with his new clubs. The Golf Chick vents her anger and anguish over a Pittsburgh man who was arrested for beating a Canadian goose to death with a golf club. For those interested, no club manufacturer has yet produced a press release bragging about their “Revolutionary Goose-Splattering Technology.” Robert Thompson pushes ...

Ah, my dear golf bloggers, it was only a matter of time before the governments of the world took notice. At the Golf Blog, Mulligan tells about how the U.S. Library of Congress wants to collect their blogs. “The United States Library of Congress has selected your Web site for inclusion in the historic collection of Internet materials related to the Supreme Court,” was the message Mulligan received. Hmmm, watch out Mulligan, this sounds like the start of a suspense thriller. Eventually, they’ll come take you away. Shhh, you didn’t hear that here. Media Guru gives an account of his 8-year-old daughter’s ...

It appears the golf-blogging community has forgotten that Canada is the 51st state (that’s what they teach us in the UK) and have ignored the men to talk about women. At The Sandtrap, Stacie Solomon tells us how Christie Kerr held off Annika Sorenstam and Paula Creamer to win the LPGA’s Wendy’s Championship this weekend. Though I find it curious to say Creamer is “slumping” with a second-place finish. But it was nice to see Annika stay at the course after her round was done. Hint, hint, Tiger. The Grouchy One chimes in on rumors of Michelle Wie turning pro sooner ...

Bogeyman burst back on the scene after a week off, commenting on Mizuno’s new MP-60 irons, Vijay Singh’s “deferring” induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame and the current odds of when Michelle Wie will turn pro. Bogey McDuff gives an update of San Antonio’s Jimmy Walker, who has had a tough first year on the PGA Tour, fighting back injuries. Happily for Walker and his Texas fans, he has received a medical exemption and will be back on the Tour in 2006. Finally, good news and bad news. First, The Golf Blogger comments on a bizarre mishap in Massachusetts. “A ...

With so many golf blogs either unattended or turned into clogs, it is a 24-hour job to find some gems out there. But I do it all for you, my darling readers. For practicality, Frank at the Online Golf Clinic offers some good advice on playing from different bunker lies. The Golf Blogger is a curious case. While he’s not putting much effort into actual blogging – his last three blogs averaged about 30 words apiece – he does find some interesting stories to share, like this recent bit about a Michigan couple trying to golf in all 50 states in just ...

Over at The Sandtrap, the lovely and talented Erik J. Barzeski gives us the lowdown of who used what equipment (in mind-numbing detail) at the PGA Championship. The Golf Blog has a little tidbit about Michelle Wie’s trouble with caddies – including her father – at the Evian Masters. It’s hard being a diva, Michelle, but you seem to be catching on quickly. Bravo! And speaking of divas, the Golf Chick has finally shed her “beginner” status. Playing in a tournament at Treehouse Golf Club, she managed to beat the tourney’s overall champion in match-stroke play. Yes, Golf Chick, you are truly a ...

Robert Thompson got caught in the rain, along with the rest of Toronto. He tells you how it affected some courses (the Donalda Club will likely have to be closed for a couple weeks) and how the overall outlook at courses up there is looking a bit grim. Beginnergolf.com’s Jason also had rain issues in Milwaukee, as storms interrupted his game on Saturday. Brave Jason and his companions did manage to get seven holes in before the weather became too much of an obstacle. Mulligan advises his readers to head over to Ebay and purchase a Scottish five-pound note featuring Jack Nicklaus. ...

If you ever wanted some insight into a hellish day for a caddie, take a look at Jam Boy’s description of his day yesterday on the links. Little ol’ Jammy carried clubs for two walkers and forecaddied for two riders – simultaneously. “You’re probably wondering: How in the world are you supposed to carry two bags, take care of those two players AND forecaddie for two lazy bastards in a cart for 18 holes?” he writes. “You got me. I just ran like a crack-addict on speed and hoped I ended up in the right place at the right time.” The Golf ...

While most of my bloggers are talking equipment, Cody Thrasher keeps moving forward, giving an in-depth preview of the WGC-NEC Invitational which begins today. At From Heel to Hosel they are talking about an article in USA Today discussing new technology in golf. Don’t they know that Tim McDonald thinks people are being hysterical over all this new technology? And speaking of technology, it’s nice to see that Tim’s new hair transplant is coming in nicely. Cheers, Tim. The Media Guru checks in with a delightful little experiment. During a bad round on the scorecard, he decided to play a torn-up Bridgestone ...

So now it seems my daft little bloggers are finally chiming in on the PGA Championship: Bogeyman talks about what gear Phil Mickelson used to win the PGA Championship, while Cody Thrasher reflected on how Mickelson nearly gave it all away, while praising Tiger Wood’s competitiveness in getting himself to within two shots. And the Grouchy one is in a good mood this week after betting on Lefty at 12-1. If you’re buying, Grouchy, I drink vodka martinis. We would like to welcome Jason to the glorious world of golf blogging. He openly wonders about the mindset of the thief who recently ...

So I wake up this lovely morning, have a spot of tea and take a look at what the golf blogging world is saying about Phil Mickelson. The answer: Not much. Poor Lefty - he gets so little respect for such a charming man. Jeff Smith over at The Sandtrap was one of the few to pontificate on Mickelson’s second career major championship: “The next goal that he should set for himself is staring Tiger Woods down at either a Major or a regular season event.” There’s some sad news in Texas, as Bogey McDuff laments the imminent closing of Old Orchard ...

Oh, it’s wonderful to be back covering blogging. I spent the last six weeks on a Bob Geldof-sponsored mission to the Congo Basin in Africa, teaching the indigenous people the skills they need to become successful golf bloggers. They dawdled some, but their outfits were just darling! First of all, The Golf Blog is one of a few sites that featured brief factoids on the PGA Championship. Now why would I need two paragraphs updating me on the leaders of the final major of the year? I can find that information anywhere, so try harder, eh fellas? The Bogeyman gives his thoughts on ...
