The golfing weekend.

Both European and US PGA events were determined by play offs. Alvaro Quiros whose recent form was so bad he nearly lost his card squandered a 7 shot lead largely through nerves to Zander Lombard but beat the South African in a play off. Over at Texas, the Byron Nelson played out on the Four Seasons [...]

Golfsixes

A new format was presented yesterday on the European Tour namely internationally paired four balls played over 6 holes over 2 days. It’s marketed as golf’s attempt at T20: quicker, more razzmatazz for the younger audience who in our compressed accelerated age has they say no time for 4 [...]

The golfing weekend and other matters

Once again Jeremy Chapman came up trumps with his third consecutive winner, Alexandre Levy in the Volvo European event in Beijing. I have a bit of Jewish blood in me so I found myself rooting for the swarthy young Frenchman for reasons beyond lucre. France has produced some exciting golfers [...]

Day One of the Masters.

As they say in conditions like these of blustery wind you cannot win ther Masters but you can lose them. The main thing was to stain your whih means anything better than -1.

Houston Open and Masters

Russell Henry won the Shell Houston Open, the last place in the Masters, me a nice few quid as Jeremy Chapman had recommended him and the Pargie tenner was on that at 40-1.

Pargie’s sporting weekend

Once again Jeremy Chapman in the Racing and Football Outlook came up trumps by predicting Dustin Johnson as winner and tipping young Jon Rahm who ran him close finishing third. He did not quite fare so well in South Africa where none of his picks featured, the Tshwane Open was won by Dean [...]

SKY GOLF COMMENTATORS

Rust contributors like to work up a fair old head of steam on female sporting broadcasters, the view of some being that they are there not because of any indigenous talent but because they are women. To take a contrarian view I would like today to champion the cause of Henni Zuel, the youngest ever [...]
