Wentworth Golf Club – Not The Course In Leafy Surrey.
With a few spare hours on my hands during last Saturday’s third round of the Tampa Bay Championship I took a short drive to inspect Wentworth Golf Club.
Having been to the Wentworth Club in England so many times, I was curious how this Florida course stacked up against it’s prestigious namesake across ‘The Pond’.

Triple Major winning Padraig Harrington admitted he is paying a heavy price in terms of sweat loss in being an extra 14 pouns heavier on the opening day of the Maybank Malaysian Open.

G Mac’s New Tavern Leads To Question: ‘How Do You Make Irish Coffee?’
No new business venture could have asked for better media coverage than that afforded Graeme McDowell for the opening of his Nona Blue Tavern.
Nona Blue officially opened last Friday and in the intervening six days McDowell’s have coverage you could not equate to dollars.
