This weekend climaxed with the WGC World Matchplay final – the winner of this weekend was matchplay. This is the final ever playing of this event and it highlighted what a different and fascinating format this version of golf really is.
This weekend was a somewhat weird viewing experience for me with regards to the golf. Being a total golf junkie I was limited to highlights in YouTube and watching the #livBroadcast live to get my weekly fix. Here are some of the highlights.
There were some interesting results this weekend on the major tours this week. One tournament that I didn’t see, other than highlights was the South African Open on the #LET. Aside from the margin of victory, 4 shots, there were two stand out performances.
There was no DP World Tour action this weekend but there were a couple of other noticeable happenings elsewhere. Former world number one Jin Young Ko returned to the winners circle in Singapore.
This was a non-elevated event for the USPGA but that didn’t mean there was no excitement. A water ball on the 72nd hole led to a playoff. The LPGA went to the 72nd hole. The DP World tour effectively had 3 players with a chance of winning on the final hole. Oh, and there was LIV.
3 of the major golf tours had events this weekend and some familiar names were on top of the podiums. A big shout out to Jon Rahm, Thorbjørn Olesen and Lydia Ko. Here are some of the talking points.
Tiger Woods, considered by many as the greatest golfer all time, announced his return to competitive golf for the Genesis Invitational that takes place at the Riviera Club this week. But what makes Tiger so good? Here are 5 reasons why Tiger is the GOAT.
For the second week in a row the DP World Tour produced a great tournament that, again, went to the final hole and resulted on a second tour win for the respective winners.
Congratulations Max Homa. What a pleasant surprise to open the PGA app to see Max on top of the leaderboard.
A little bit on fanboy-ism #golf
As I watch the final days play of the Mauritius Open on the DP World tour my thoughts drift back to the Dunhill Championship in South Africa and Ockie Strydom’s first victory on the DP World Tour.
My golfing history. A checkered past? I played as a junior and as most young kids had quite an awful temperament. I soon realized that I wouldn’t make the grade,
There have been quite a few things that I feel have not worked this weekend but there have been many positives too. Here are my 3 reasons why LIV golf worked this weekend.
The final event of the inaugural LIV Golf season started yesterday in Miami with the first day of team match play. All set for a great day? Here are 5 reasons why today did not work.
I have to say that I really enjoy watching the LPGA. Not that I would come even close to beating any of the ladies in a match there is a certain air of realism to their games. They are methodical, lacking real egos and they hit the ball around the same distance as me.
Both the DP World Tour & the USPGA had quite remarkable winners this weekend. Both worthy of a mention – congrats Max Homa and Thorbjorn Olesen.
What golf clubs am I playing with right now. This is the home of the what’s in the bag video for 2022.
That was some week wasn’t it? From late Friday afternoon, it looked as if newly crowned number one Scottie Scheffler would run away with The Masters. To be fair he made it a lot closer than it needed to be but it all added to the final day drama.
I’ve been playing quite a bit of simulator golf over the close season and had a equipment malfunction.
The DP World Tour is back and this time they were playing in Kenya. After a hiatus of a few weeks, it was great to see golf back on TV and there were some quality shots played.
After what seems like a lifetime the DP world tour is back. My routine is back and the golf is in the background as I work. But I’m delighted to see our Daniel son has started very well.
There is no DP World Tour golf this week so there has been a little void in my life. However, there is a lot of chatter about Phil Mickelson and the Saudi golf league.
Welcome to Golf is fun. I’ve decided to start blogging again. First off, congrats to Ryan Fox.
