.… Albany, The Bahamas  It is an old expression, and it was an expression I recall double English-born World 500cc motor-bike champion Barry Sheene once used and that is ‘the people you pass on the way up, you ​​pass on the way back down’. It’s an expression one c​​ould use in all walks of life and Sheene drew on the phrase in describing a rival, who clearly was intent of caring little about those around him and focussed solely on riding his way to a championship title. Of course, ...

Not since Nike Golf stopped making golf clubs has so much attention been focussed on Rory McIlroy’s equipment. With the hosting of the 87th Masters just two weeks away McIlroy may have found a key, well two keys, that hopefully may lead to him unlocking the front door to the most elite club in all of golf. After the clear frustration in missing the cut in last fortnight’s Players Championship, McIlroy headed to Augusta National, playing 54-holes over the course of two days, and a golf ...

Third seed Rory McIlroy was singing the praise of two news clubs in being untroubled, breezing into the second round of today’s (THURS) of the WGC – Dell Match-Play Championship in Texas.

McIlroy headed into the final hosting of the event having put a shorter shaft, albeit by half-an-inch, into hisTaylorMade ...

David ‘Double-D’ Drysdale has a triple goal teeing-up in this week’s World City Championship in Hong Kong. Drysdale has returned to Hong Kong and the stately Fanling Golf Club course for an eighth time in his career since making his debut since 2010. However, it was his last visit in November 2018 when the affable Scot secured his best result of fifth in the then opening event of the 2018/19 DP World schedule. Drysdale said: “We’ve always enjoyed coming here to Hong Kong. It’s a great ...

Though there’s not too many nine-hole layouts in the golf world that can boast a golfer of Woods great stance in the history of the club-and-ball game has teed-up not just once, not twice but three times. It must say something of the JA The Resort Golf Course at Jebel Ali that Woods chose to play this magnificent nine-hole course in Dubai ...

Reigning Masters champ Scottie Scheffler admits his chosen ‘Masters Champions Dinner’ is not one for any nutritionist among those who will be sitting next fortnight at the Augusta National dinner table. Scheffler has revealed how he arrived at a menu featuring cheeseburger slides, firecracker shrimp, tortilla soup, a main course of Texas ribeye steak or blackened redfish, and with a sweets serving of warm chocolate chip cookies.

I’ve attended over 20 Masters and never heard so much waffle. If double Masters winning Ben Crenshaw continues to be worried about any tension at the up-coming Augusta former champions dinner why does he bother to attend. For a second time in three months Crenshaw has expressed concern when those who have been fitted with a famed green jacket, including six winners and now LIV golfers, join together in the same room to honour 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler. In January, the now 71-year-old ...
