Those who like their Scottish golf may know how partial I am to the Askernish course located along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline on the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. If I have done my job well then you may be planning to visit this Old Tom Morris designed links gem and, if so, you may wish to make the small effort visiting a little-known nine-hole course around a 35-minute drive north named Benbecular. Benbecular is around both a 12-kilometre long and also similar width wide island located ...

In writing this article, I have been fortunate to play three golf courses boasting bunkers of a ‘different’ kind. When I say a ‘different’ kind, I am not referring here to the traditional sand-filled bunkers but concrete bunkers. “Concrete bunkers?”.  Yes, concrete bunkers and defence bunkers built during World War 11. There is the strong remnants of an anti-aircraft bunker still in position at the back of the seventh green on the Craighead Links course and my ...

Of the pressent 85 envelopes postmarked ‘Augusta, GA’ and despatched in the days leading-up to the end of this year, 13 of those will be headed to golfers for the first time.

After the delight and thrill in watching and listening to Tiger Woods over the past three days, the 15-time major champion looks and sounds ready to return to formal PGA Tour competition.

While a Team Tiger maiden success would have been such a great storyline, Tiger ...

Prior to this week there had been just one ace in the 26 year prior history of the PNC Championship. Well that all changed after just eight holes in the second and final round at the 27th hosting of the championship as it was firstly Charlie Woods, and the 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods acing the par-3 fourth hole and around 30-minutes later and Paddy Harrington, son of three-time major winner Padraig Harrington stepped-up to ace the par-3 eighth hole on the host Ritz Carlton course in Orlando. Charlie ...

It was a roar not heard around the golf world for some time with 15-year-old Charlie Woods bringing the house down with a stunning hole-in-one at the fourth hole on the final day of the PNC Championship in Orlando. Charlie used a 7-iron from 175-years but he was clearly unsure what the cheering was all about before getting confirmation his tee shot had found the bottom of the cup on the Ritz Carlton course in Orlando. “It was a perfect seven iron so I just had to hit it. 175, little down off ...
