On consecutive days, two of the world’s top female athletes have decided to call it quits. First, Annika Sorenstam announced that 2008 would be her final year, and today world No. 1 women’s tennis player Justine Henin announced her tennis playing days are over. Now, as most everyone is aware, things like this tend to happen in threes. That is why I am making a formal request to one of WorldGolf.com’s bloggers - it is time for Dot Wong to retire. Wong, who long ago stole Jennifer Mario’s title as WorldGolf.com’s No. 1 female blogger, has achieved all she will ever achieve ...

In an insipid interview with the web site Politico that featured no less than 20 questions about his daughter’s wedding, baseball, American Idol and who does the best impersonation of him, President George W. Bush was hit with a haymaker - Has he stopped golfing? Q Mr. President, you haven’t been golfing in recent years. Is that related to Iraq? THE PRESIDENT: Yes, it really is. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as – to be in solidarity as best as ...

In Southern California, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena stands out as one of the great sports stadiums in the state. Holding more than 100,000 people, it is steeped in history. But a two-minute walk from the gates of the Rose Bowl takes you to another sporting location with a great history - Brookside Golf Club. I got the chance to play Brookside yesterday - the No. 2 course - and was truly delighted. While the first nine can have moments of tedium with an endless array of par 4s, the back nine brings it home in style, taking you on a ...

John Daly gets a lot of grief from golf fans, and for the most part, rightly so. Any golfer talented enough to win two major titles at a young age is going to have expectations placed upon them. Daly decided to meet those expectations by being a perpetual 18 year old and blowing everything, including his considerable talent. But at least Daly got to enjoy his riches. On CBS’s Survivor, Erick - soon to be elected “least likely to succeed at Eastern Michigan University” - decided that having riches of any type would we too much a burden for him. Ok, ...

It has been nearly three years since I joined the WorldGolf.com team, and in that time we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, and I’ve been insulted in ways I never had imagine possible. But such is the life of a lowly golf blogger. Today, however, this lowly golf blogger comes asking for help from the golf community. I am writing this post from City of Hope Hospital in Duarte, Calif. My Mom, already a survivor of Ovarian Cancer, has Acute Myleoid Leukemia. But my Mom is one of the lucky ones. You see, recently, we learned that my Mom - through the amazing ...

Last May, PGA Tour players went pink. Next weekend, they’ll do the same. “Is it some type of May Day celebration,” people wondered? Well, no, it’s actually much bigger than that. You see, this Mother’s Day, CHAMP Spikes will be running its second “Pink on the Links” program to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). And this year, golf fans can be more involved than before. Yes, this weekend, expect to see pro golfers on all tours make Paula Creamer’s dream of a pink world come alive. The PGA, LPGA, Champions, European PGA, European Ladies, and Duramed Futures Tours will ...
