liberty national Stories - Waggle Room
Great Views Equals Great Golf Course, Right? No.
Steph Wei was at the LPGA's corporate outing last week and caught a couple of minutes with Cristie Kerr. The most intriguing part of it for me was Kerr's view on Liberty National - the godawful course that hosted the Barclays this year. The Cupp-Kite design really is an abortion of a course, but...
From Landfill to Links: The Future of Urban Course Design?
John Paul Newport had a very interesting read over the weekend in Wall St. Journal about the next Liberty National. No, I don't mean a course that is spellbindingly awful in its design. But, I do mean a course that is built on top of a former dumping site. The $123 million project was slated to...
Jim Furyk: I've Made A Huge ($131,250) Mistake
Unless you're Shawn Kemp, Donald Trump, Bernie Madoff, or Michael Bluth, you have likely never made a single mistake that cost you more than a few thousand dollars. Fender bender, maybe. Bad investment in a Ponzi scheme. Perhaps you invested in HD DVD technology instead of Blu-Ray. That...
He Missed. Tiger Freakin' Missed It. The World Is Ending.
Office Space made popular the concept of The O Face. I'll leave it to you to know, imagine, or otherwise research what that is. But in 2009, Tiger Woods has suddenly and surprisingly reinvented the face Drew was going to show to the new girl from accounting. Tiger has just not been clutch this...
When Tiger Smiles A Lot, You Know A Tourney Isn't Important
Fanhouse's Ryan Wilson brought up a great point in his recap of the third round of The Barclays. He observed the same thing I saw on Saturday - way too many smiles from Tiger. As for the "morose and petulant" Woods, he hit plenty of poor shots Saturday, but it was hard to tell between all the...
Liberty National: Down in the Dumps
After Phil Mickelson hit his approach to 18 green in another one of those preposterous collection areas at Liberty National, Nick Faldo said: Aww, he'll be down in the dumps about that one. Totally deadpan. It was awesome. Kelly Tilghman could not have tried to move on faster.
The 19th Hole Golf Show - 8/27/09 - US Am, Sean Martin, & Jordan Thomas
On this week's The 19th Hole Golf Show: We talk about the first leg of the PGA Tour Playoffs at The Barclays, Liberty National, and the field. Jordan Thomas joins me to talk about his advocacy and fundraising for issues facing child amputees and his connection to golf. Finally, Golfweek's Sean...
Liberty National: Trying To Hide Jersey's Trash Problem
As Homer Simpson so famously uttered when preparing to go into space, "The only danger is if they send us to that terrible planet of the apes. Wait a minute...Statue of Liberty... that was our planet! You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you all to hell!" I cannot help but think of that line...
Five Reasons Why Tiger is Playing The Barclays
It struck me as funny business that Tiger Woods would suddenly decide to play this weekend's The Barclays at the deadline to enter. The guy hated Westchester CC - the former site of the then (RIP) Buick Classic - and Liberty National is unproven as a PGA Tour site. So, why would he play? I have...
