So Ben (Crenshaw)? Why Don’t You Just Simply Stay At Home & Not Attend Masters Champions Dinner.

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 ...

Tom McKibbin was doubly pleased not only posting a sizzling inward score of 29 but to also be in the comfort of the clubhouse on the second day of a wind-delayed SDC Championship at Eastern Cape in South Africa. Strong winds coming in off the close-by Indian Ocean buffeted the host St. Francis course forcing officials to halt play early afternoon in the inaugural Sunshine and DP World Tour event.

Nine Holers: Half A Full Course But Often Double The Fun

Nine-hole golf courses.  Some will argue they’re only half the fun as it’s all about testing your game over the full 18. True but some of the best experiences I’ve had in golf have been teeing-up on nine-hole layouts.  I learnt how to play the game on a 9-holer in Sydney, and in all my years reporting on this ancient club-and-ball game, I’ve had the pleasure of playing some memorable nine holes. Though the first nine holes, I wish to feature is not one I’ve played and ...
