Furyk Clinches Ryder Cup for USA, Mickelson disappoints and Wie advances. Golf Magazine's "How to Hit Every Shot"
Click here to listen.
It was hard not to notice the dejected expression in the eyes of Anthony Kim on Saturday after his teammate, Phil Mickelson, blew his putt on the seventeenth hole to lose to Stenson and Wilson. Kim’s outstretched hand failed to find Mickelson’s even though earlier pairings found the team of Kim/Mickelson to be a solid one.
Kim’s victory against Garcia on Sunday proved that it was Mickelson who was the taildragger for Team USA. I understand that Phil is interested in obtaining his European Tour card. I say, let’s trade Lefty to Team Europe in 2010 for Justin Rose!
By the way, since July, Mickelson’s estate has been up for sale. A sign of things to come? Golf has been very, very good to me!
Jim Furyk impressed the crowd although, if I was Jimenez, I don’t think I would have given him that final three-footer for the Ryder Cup win.
In addition to our Ryder Cup wrap-up, Golf for Beginners also discusses the new book from Golf Magazine entitled, “How to Hit Every Shot.” This glossy is a follow-up to their top-selling title, GOLF: The Best Instruction Book Ever!, and offers assistance for difficult shots with the aid of the Top 100 Instructors. The “restricted backswing” tip, for example, is one you probably have never even heard of and is worth a try!
Finally, we talk about current and future stars of the LPGA Tour, Anna Rawson and Michelle Wie. Where Wie didn’t stand out from the crowd of female golfers this week she certainly did what was necessary to get the job done and move on to Q-School finals.
Move over Natalie Gulbis! With her rookie year on the LPGA Tour less eventful than her status of being one of the “Sexiest Women Golfers", Anna Rawson should probably be more interested in stardom than golf. Instead of relying on her golf swing, and with only $50k made from the Tour, Rawson has been setting herself up in the world of fashion, as a golf writer and now has made it possible to hear from all of those swooning fans who pant when they see her in a bikini!
We reveal her cell phone number on this week’s show and let you know which other stars want to hear what is on your mind!

Being one of the top golfers in the world, he should have taken more of a lead instead of just being in the mix.
But, the talented young golfers, motivated by Woods will challenge him. It will be these young golfers making for some exciting golf in the near future.
