With a day remaining in 2014 and World No.1 Rory McIlroy has been spotted not on a golf course or attending a major sporting  event nor getting ready to celebrate the arrival of a new year. No, the four-time Major winner was observed ‘in frame’ as the main display in a West Palm Beach optometrist shop window. And I have to say the photo of McIlroy wearing spectacles bears a striking resemblance to famed rock-and-roll singer Buddy Holly. Take a look for yourself.      

Congratulations to Tiger Woods who today (December 30th) celebrates his 39th birthday. The 14-time Major winning Woods, who was born in 1975, is expected to spend the day with his two children at his palatial Jupiter Island residence to the north of West Palm Beach. Others celebrating their birthday on December 30th include Lebron James, NBL star with the Cleveland Cavaliers who turns 30 while comedian Tracey Ullman is 55 and former ‘Monkees’ singer Mike Nesmith will turn the ripe old ...

Fellow Open Champion Greg Norman has led the chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’ for golf’s oldest-living Major Champion – Kel Nagle.

Arjun Atwal ended a 1,571 day winless drought in claiming the splendid ‘Golden Camel’ trophy with victory in the inaugural Dubai Open by two shots on the Els Club course in Dubai. The Indian-born Atwal, who had not won since capturing the 2010 Wyndham Championship on the PGA Tour, had trailed by one shot playing the uphill par-five 18th but managed a great up and down for birdie while his playing partner Wang Jeung-hun, who led the field most of the day, ended up with a bogeysix after ...

Darren Clarke produced a Dubai Open desert storming 64 to move within one shot of the lead with a round to play in the final golf tournament of 2014. The former Open Champion produced his lowest score on one of golf’s main tour’s for some time to head to the last day of the Asian Tour’s inaugural event just a shot behind the leading four players – South African Jbe Kruger (64), Korean Jeung-hun Wang (68) and the Indian pair of Arjun Atwal (68) and Dubai-based Shiv Kapur (69) ...

The President Golf Club has been our virtual back-yard for the past week and it’s been great to drive even a shorter distance to the course than the near two-minute drive to my ‘home’ course – Crail Golfing Society. The Club here as West Palm Beach offers an attractive ‘twilight’ fee and thanks to Scott Mailloux, Director of Golf, I’ve enjoyed tackling the Robert Trent Jones gem. However one of the most captive sights in playing the course late in the afternoon ...
