A family golf day

Yesterday I attended the 32nd annual golf tournament of a family I know well. It’s always played at Royal Ashdown Forest, a natural and beautiful course with no bunkers. Some 20 years ago I went there with my father. It proved to be one of his great golfing moments, perhaps even one of his [...]

Ryder Cup Review

In sport competition format is vital. In some sports like cricket the authorities are forever tinkering with it and not always to the better. In football the intensity of the FIFA and UEFA competitions have been weakened by the number of competitors allowed to enter. Golf is a traditional, [...]

Watching the Ryder Cup in the Sussex CCC Museum

Last night it was my pleasure to invite John Pargiter to a dinner held in the museum at Hove cricket ground . Paul Way who played in two Ryder Cups aged 20 in the  eighties was  guest of honour.  The festivities began with a chipping competition for the contestant to land his ball on a flag on [...]

Ryder Cup Review

The smart money is on the USA but I am not so sure. The optimism for a States victory seems to be based on home form and 6 rookies in the opponents. This fails to take into account that the States have lost 8 out of the last 10 Ryder Cups. Further whilst the Europeans seem  a cohesive force under [...]

Golfing weekend

Once again Jeremy Chapman brought joy to the Pargiter household with another winner, Franceso Molinari at the Italian Open at Monza. He narrowly beat Danny Willett by one stroke and it was good to see the Masters winner in form going into the Ryder Cup. There was no US PGA event this weekend . [...]

DJ is an impassive player who robotically hits greens in [...]

The Golfing weekend

When I was a kid my hero was Al Geiberger. Don’t ask me why. Perhaps it was his name. Then in 1967 in the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic he did an incredible thing: he shot a 59. He became forever known as Mr 59. Jim Furyk also shot a 59 and yesterday in the Travelers he bettered  this with a [...]

USPGA & RYDER CUP SELECTION

When it comes to the sporting calendar I’m a bit of a traditionalist and do not appreciate any mucking about with it. Thus the decision to bring forward the USPGA to accommodate the Olympics did not sit well with me. It produced an unlikely winner in Jimmy Walker who tends to start the season [...]

The Open

This will  be remembered as one of the the best Opens of all time certainly since the Duel of the Sun in 1977 at Turnberry between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus. By Saturday it was a two horse race between the Swede who had yet to win a major – Henrik Stensen – and Phil Mickelson who [...]
