Imitation is considered the sincerest form of flattery. I guess Vijay Singh must consider Tiger Woods PGA Tour ‘07 fair game as he has created not only the initial Vijay Singh Pro Golf Game but now an updated version more simply entitled, “Pro Golf 2007″. Vijay has taken his game in a slightly different direction, preferring not to compete with Woods head-to-head but laying up instead on the mobile frontier. I wonder if dropping Singh’s name out of the title will inhibit or spur on this golf game’s growth? Tiger Woods has recently announced his venture into golf course development. No sooner has ...

Click here to listen. With the assistance of his father, Tiger Woods learned early on how to focus not just on the shot at hand but also on that little golf ball directly in front of him. We discuss clarity of mind which helps all golfers including Tiger Woods) free themselves from all other distractions to concentrate on the task of hitting that ball squarely off the tee. We also answer an email from a reader who hasn’t played golf in a while and finds himself hitting off the toe of the clubface. What is he doing wrong and how can he ...

You’ve got to give Michelle Wie credit as she tees it up against the men for the final time this year at the Casio World Open. She just keeps on ticking with no sign of stopping. As a determined Wie stated, “Get used to it". And so we shall as Michelle Wie completes the “watch” tour. There was the Omega where she finished at the bottom of the leaderboard and now the Casio where last year’s memory was of a sobbing teenager who had just thrown her chances away after bogeying the final two holes of the tournament. Will she become ...

Click here to listen. This podcast is a biggie, filled with lots of golf tips for the driving range. Our listeners have spoken, letting us know that they take their ipods (and our weekly tips) with them when they practice so we have created this session with them in mind. One email battles over whether or not an instructor can do more harm than good. Can a golf swing suffer from the wrong teaching method? We use a bit of advice from Butch Harmon who feels that a golfer should not try and change a less-than-perfect looking swing but work within his ...

The ladies of the LPGA finally get the opportunity to earn in one event as much as their PGA Tour counterparts. A million-dollar first place purse is being dangled in front of the contestants at the ADT Championship to see which golfer comes out of the gate strongest, fastest and with the tenacity of a pit-bull. Donald Trump has once again plotted and planned to make sure that his Trump International Golf Club was the host for this year’s event. Trump has actively been pursuing the LPGA and attending planning board meetings in the hopes of securing several events for his ...

We discuss the changes you might find on the golf course during this season and how to deal with lost ...

While Lorena Ochoa struggles to grab player of the year honors on the LPGA tour, Annika Sorenstam has decided she likes the PGA “silly season” better, foregoing the Mitchell Company Tournament of Champions for a matchup against the men. Sorenstam and Fred Couples, known as the “king” of the post-season, have paired up for this week’s Merrill Lynch Shootout. Normally this wouldn’t catch my attention but it appears as if Annika is diversifying, stretching her legs after a terrific golf season and, perhaps, wondering if she can attract the same kind of media attention as PGA tour wannabee, uber-teen Michelle Wie. This ...

I don’t blame Commissioner Tim Finchem for being upset that Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are AWOL from this week’s Tour Championship. He is the head of the organization in which both men have risen to the top of their respective games. He is also the pinnacle of the food chain when it comes to “heads rolling” if the PGA Tour doesn’t receive enough viewership. Without golf’s two biggest stars, how many people are really watching? When I heard that both Woods and Mickelson were kicking back instead of heading out to work, it ticked me off. I don’t get the ...
