With the Aussie Socceroos scoring their first ever goal in a World Cup and going-on to record their first ever win at a World Cup as well, I am going out on a limb and tip that Aussie golfer, Adam Scott will win his first U.S. Open. Good things always come in three’s.

How exciting are the ladies right now? The battle for supremacy in women’s golf is so tightly bunched that from one tournament to the next one will find it difficult to pick the winner. No longer are we seeing the lop-sided domination of previous years. Karrie Webb is showing the most consistent form with several recent wins and a second over the weekend at the L.P.G.A. Championship. Annika Sorenstam’s form is starting to return too. She finished with a tie for 9th at only three off the lead. Si Ri Pak made a welcome return to the winners circle and ...

While I choose to live in Phuket, Thailand, this decision has left me with little option for viewing of live sporting events of international standard. I am restricted to second rate games of rugby, soccer and cricket and while these are a bit of fun, I do miss heading to the playing fields of the world to see my teams compete. But it looks like that has changed on the golfing scene here at least. It was announced today, that Phuket will host a new tournament which has been tri-sanctioned by the Asian, Japan and Australasian Tours. Starting from March 8, 2007, the ...

Breaking new ground in any walk of life is a difficult task and when achieved is something to be very proud of. Michelle Wie is attempting to do just that, break new ground.

But what we cannot forget is that there are plenty of other golfers out there who did achieve their goals. They also were competing at the highest level. They also had to go ...

I like the way Bubba Watson thinks. When I had the time to play regular golf with a bunch of mates back in Australia, there was no letting up on the tee as to which club to use. On holes which gave options of a dangerous long drive with water carry or an intelligent lay-up, one could not leave the course with dignity in-tact if the latter was chosen. Comments could be heard, “it’s not golf if you don’t go for it", or the ever popular “you can make that easily” just to boost one’s confidence. Of course, most of the ...

With the Soccer World Cup starting soon, and most European nations being soccer mad, I can imagine that some of the European players, especially the English, having their minds on their countries soccer teams. Time difference will also make a huge impact. How can some of these players be expected to tee off in the early morning after spending all night watching games of soccer on TV? Maybe the relative tours can alter tee times to suit the schedule of the soccer teams. I can imagine Paul Casey holding up the starter for five minutes while David Beckham shoots a penalty ...
