Still on the Port Washington visit theme here. See earlier story: http://www.golfbytourmiss.com/2015/08/port-washington-wisconsin-a-charming-lake-michigan-gem/ However here is a collection of snaps that didn’t make the main feature but provide a great supporting cast of like in Port Washington.      

Port Washington, Wisconsin – A Charming Lake Michigan Gem.

It’s been some weeks since the PGA Championship but there was a charming little town we visited on the Saturday morning of the year’s final Major – Port Washington. Knowing little about the area in general it was naturally a great surprise to spend a few hours ‘discovering’ the township located about 25 miles north of Milwaukee. Firstly, it continues to surprise me in attending major sportinng events that local tourism bodies including in this case www.visitportwashington.com ...

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 ...

Adam Scott Admits His Season Has Been Spoilt By ‘Fiddling’ – Fiddling With Equipment & Caddies.

Adam Scott admitted there has been ‘a lot of fiddling’ after seeing his PGA Tour season end on a disappointing low in missing the cut in the Barclays Championship in New Jersey. Scott posted poor scores of 71 and 73 to miss the Plainfield County Club cut by two strokes. And despite PGA Tour earnings this year of $US 1.382m it is Scott’s poorest FedEx Cup finish since he was placed 110th on the 2009 money list and the year the Cup was first contested. Scott contested his mandatory 15 events ...

Henrik Stenson Looks For Ryder Cup Selection Start Similar To Two Years Ago.

Sweden’s Henrik Stenson is out to kick-start his 2016 European Ryder Cup selection campaign in a similar manner as he achieved two years ago. The star Callaway golfer posted a Barclays Championship second round 66 to shared second place and just a stroke from the lead with two rounds to play on the Donald Ross designed course in Edison, New Jersey. And it is not lost on Stenson that next week marks the start of the 2016 Ryder Cup qualifying process and with the now 39-year old looking for a repeat ...

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. However in holing a four-foot putt for par at the last hole Harrington walked from the course lying 100th on the projected FedEx Cup standings, and the ...

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. The reigning World No. 1 still has the chance of winning the FedEx Cup but in his bigger career picture Spieth learnt a rules lesson he will long remember. Spieth’s second shot at the par five 12th landed inside a grass covered lateral water hazard some 45-yards short of the flagstick. However in proceeding to look for his ...
