The US Open returns Congressional Golf Club in a fortnight, and, as is with the post Tiger era, there’s a stack of players who have a sniff. The top 50 players in the Official World Golf Rankings two weeks prior to the event (and in the week during) are exempt – here’s a run down of where they’re all at…

Last Sunday marked a terribly sad day for golf. Five-time major champion and golfing super-star of his era, Seve Ballesteros, passed away with family at his side following cruel complications of a cancerous brain tumor that he endued for over two years. The 54-year-old Spaniard will not only be remembered for the artistry and charisma he brought to the fairways, but for his everlasting impact he had in making the European Tour into what it is today.

Magnolia Lane, that soothing music, the aching beauty, the history, the excitement, the drama, the crushed marble, the manicured greens and fairways…that’s right golf (and sports) fans – The Masters. It’s that time of year again where we are treated to the best sports viewing of the year in front of the beautiful backdrop of Augusta National. Who’s in line for a Green Jacket? Well, here’s a handful of players to keep an eye on…

It’s a tough ol’ game being a New Zealand golf fan (and Cricket too if I’m completely honest), but a fortnight ago we were treated to some rare good golfing news in a week that will forever be remembered for an Earthquake that rocked our small but proud nation. Left-handed professional Gareth Paddison kept his emotions in check to record a final round four under 66 to close out the two-shot victory in the Queensland PGA Championship. (more…)

I know it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to connect the dots to predict some couch-strappingly-amazing-golf-viewing in the months ahead, but here’s handful of reasons giving some substance to that well beaten January cliche.

Imagine playing golf everyday for an entire year. Well, that’s what two golf-mad Kiwis – Jamie Patton and Michael Goldstein – did during the course of 2010. Now, after playing golf for 365 consecutive days across four continents, the minor celebs now have their weary feet up and are in a contemplative mood. Johhnie Walker Golf Club’s Reece Witters caught up with Jamie Patton to try and sum their remarkable year up…

If there was ever a golf course that summed up New Zealand golf in a nutshell, the Oreti Sands Golf Course could put forward a rather strong case. Just a 10 minute tootle south-west of Invercargill, the most southerly city in New Zealand, Oreti Sands (or the Southland Golf Club) is a hidden gem that’s about as unpretentious as a golf course can be – whilst owning the tag of the Southern-most 18-hole links in the world.

Twenty ten will forever be remembered in golfing circles as the year the European Tour came of age. With three of the season’s four majors, the Ryder Cup and the world number one now under their European Tour belt, Europe has scaled unprecedented heights this year and it all bodes well for the future.
Before I crack on, it must be said that while the past season has been littered with European success, it’s also the first winless year for a certain golfer called Tiger Woods…Ahhh the irony. However, Tiger’s past twelve months have been well documented and I’m not about to jump on that band wagon – this is a time to toast European Golf. (more…)
