Does "Being There" Translate Into Wins?
The playoff yesterday at Colonial had three very interesting guys in it. There was Tim Clark, who was vying for his first PGA Tour win in nearly 200 starts, and battling a shake short game. Then, there was Steve Marino. The man is clearly becoming a force on the PGA Tour, but is still learning...
Ian Baker-Finch Just Told You...Figuratively
Ian Baker-Finch hadn't played a competitive round on the PGA Tour in a dozen years. That round ended in 92 painful shots. The '91 Open Champion hasn't exactly been riding high in the pro golf scene. I mean, he still has one more major than Sergio Garcia, but still. Anyway, he decided to play in...
The 19th Hole Golf Show - Golf Digest's Max Adler, the Colonial, and LPGA & Twitter
On this week's show: We kick off the show by talking whether or not the LPGA's encouragement of Twittering during a round is a good idea (I think it is). Then, we're joined by Max Adler from Golf Digest to talk about his attempt to qualify for the US Open, what that experience meant for his...

Crowne Plaza Denies Rumor That Was Never Reported

Golf Channel Top 10 Shots of the Year
Golf Channel was airing its Top 10 Shots of the Year program tonight. And, of course, I watched. On the list (I think #2), was Phil Mickelson's RIDICULOUS approach to 18 from the woods that lead to a tournament winning birdie at Colonial. They showed Phil's winning putt to cap off the package. ...
The Racingfication of Golf
It's nothing new in golf to see the golfers' shirts and caps plastered with sponsors' logos. John Daly probably comes closest to looking like a NASCAR driver. John will probably be wearing front and back placards some day soon. Just now on the Colonial broadcast, this exchange took place: David...
Speaking of Phil ...
Phil Mickelson has an unusual set configuration today in the final round at Colonial: a driver, no fairway woods, no hybrids, five wedges. Today is the first day I've been able to catch any of the Colonial broadcast, so I don't know if Mickelson has had this configuration all week. Depending on...
