‘Pocket Change’ is a six-piece R & B band that enjoy playing all over Florida. We were very fortunate to catch up with the group at the Seminole Immokalee Casino where the band were certainly rewarding patrons with a great selection of ‘oldies’ and an equal balance of  ‘newer’ hits. And the band boasts having opened for the following artists:- Sean Paul, Paul Revere and The Raiders, Blue Oyster Cult, The Bellamy Brothers, Journey, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, ...

You could be mistaken you were making your way to Capitol Hill in Washington D.C, and the seat of government in the United States rather than a golf course in sun-splashed Florida. I say this only because in heading to the Eagle Course at the President Golf Club in West Palm Beach you drive along Congress Drive before turning into Presidential Ave and passing by streets named Embassy Drive and Consulate Place. The course is lined with residential buildings named after former US President greats such ...

We encountered a dramatic sugarcane fire while driving from Naples on the west coast of Florida and heading to West Palm Beach on the eastern side of the Sunshine State. However any sunshine was blanketed by a large column of smoke rising from the cane fire on the side of Florida State Highway 80 and just outside the Belle Glade township. The burning of the sugarcane is carried out before harvesting.  In the burning process, the field is set fire to and the leaves are burned off of the stalks. About ...

It was a pleasant surprise that while present in Naples, Florida to report on the Franklin Templeton Shootout we should catch up with good friend, Davy Sharp. Davy is one of Scotland’s leading club caddies and it was as a fellow member of the Crail Golfing Society I came to get to know Davy very well. He has based himself for some six years now during the winter months in Naples, Florida where he works as a caddy at the exclusive Old Collier course, and 18-hole championship course designed ...

With the season all but over for most of the world’s top golfer it is again opportune to announce my much-awaited 2104 award winners. GOLFER OF THE YEAR – Rory McIlroy. Two Majors, a first WGC title and capturing the European Tour’s flagship event leaves no one in doubt who was the most outstanding golfer of 2014. Rory McIlroy also returned to No. 1 in the world, competed on a third straight victorious European Ryder Cup winning team as well as ending the year as European No. 1 and was ...

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards are a complete farce after World No. 1 Rory McIlroy was denied the top award in favour of F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton. In a season when McIlroy dominated ‘British’ sport in capturing two Majors, a first WGC title and the European Tour’s flagship event it was Hamilton who was honoured on Sunday night in Glasgow. The BBC needs to take a serious look at the awards and the judging process because there’s something drastically ...

Prior to the Gleneagles Ryder Cup Ian Poulter and Stephen Gallacher had exchanged the minimum of pleasantries. The duo were like complete strangers despite each having competed for more than 15 years on the European Tour. It took the Ryder Cup and an opening day Fourball pairing to finally bring the pair together, and it was a pairing and the cementing of a friendship that will live with Poulter and Gallacher for as long as they breathe. Paul McGinley threw ‘Poults’ and the Bathgate pro into ...
