Add comments
Tiger Woods successfully defended his British Open title and Geoff Ogilvy grabbed the U.S. Open. What’s next? Will Phil Mickelson aptly safeguard his PGA Championship or will there be traces of gambling Phil, who is now holding the title of “worst collapse in sports history“?
This week we discuss the course management strategies which Tiger Woods used to claim the coveted claret jug.
Barry and I pull a letter from a fellow New Yorker out of our email bag. His complaint? Googling online under “best clubs” and “beginners” has not found our listener any wisdom, “just a bunch of marketing".
Are Nike golf clubs best for beginners? Mizuno? Ping? We help take the confusion out of club selection.
Finally, Shelby Futch, Golf Digest teaching professional, shows us how to G.A.S.P. your way to better play.

| « Oui, Wie! Michelle uses another LPGA exemption for Evian Masters. Can the Americans keep the trophy on U.S. soil? | Does the LPGA and Carolyn Bivens "lack integrity" as Shoprite officials claim? » |

That's just a ridiculous comparison. Phil M is the #2 ranked player in the world; regarded by many as the Great Hope against Woods. His stated desire is to win majors. The #2 player blowing a two shot lead with three to play at the US Open?; a double-bogey on number 18 with a one shot lead? One of the worst collapses in major championship history. It ranks with Norman in '96 at Augusta. Players of their caliber are held to a higher standard. Who had heard of Van de Velde? Has he been heard from since?
