Congratulations CBS – Nil & 15 For Getting Nationalities Correct.

It wasn’t www.golfbytourmiss.com that brought up the glaring mistakes last week but Spain’s Sergio Garcia. Garcia had tweeted the picture below and taken during last week’s Wyndham Championship coverage by CBS Sports. But how bad can it get when the U.S. TV giant failed to insert the wrong flag beside 10 international born former champions including Kiwi Frank Nobilo now a regular TV commentator? Any a picture speak a thousand words and while many may have seen this already take ...

Padraig Harrington Facing Anxious FedEx Cup Weekend Wait.

Padraig Harrington faces a long weekend wait to know to learn if he will join Rory McIlroy in next week’s Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston. Harrington easily missed the cut in the Barclays Championship with scores of 73 and a bogey-littered second round 75 for an eight over par tally on the Plainfield Country Club course in Edison, New Jersey.

Jordan Spieth Clumsily Falls Foul Of Rules Of Golf 18-2(a) At Barclays.

Jordan Spieth confessed on the first day of the Barclays Championship he was not a fan of the Plainfield Country Club golf course and that view only deepened on day two.

New Outlook & New Putter Lands Russell Knox Great Barclays Start.

A new putter and new outlook landed Russell Knox well into contention and just a shot from the lead on day one of the Barclays Championship. Knox also drew well on the ‘Scottish connection’ given the Plainfield course was designed by Dornoch-born Donald Ross in shooting a four under par 66. It put Knox into a five-way share of fifth place but only a shot back from the leading foursome that includes double Masters winning Bubba Watson. Knox said:  “I have very hard on myself the past two weeks ...

Fond Memories – Revisiting 1415 Gerard St, Rockville, Maryland.

This latest trip to the U.S. continued on a nostalgic theme with a visit to a very special house in Rockville, Maryland. Three weeks ago I attended a Peter Fampton concert on the outskirts of Cleveland and some 37 years after attending the ‘Frampton Comes Alive Tour’ concert in Sydney. A week ago Tour Miss and I arrived at the front  gates of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and 36 years since good friend, Joe Sroba and myself had done the same but on a much colder November’s day in ...
