Both the US and European PGA events went to play offs and surprise winners.  La trophee Hassan in Rabat did not attract the best of fields, South Africans Oosthuizen and Schwartzel stayed away from this and the Wells Fargo at Quail Hollow. .   It was won by Korean Jeungchen Wang over Spaniard [...]

The Golfing Weekend

There were two surprise winners over the weekend, Andrew Johnston, his maiden win on the Spanish Open and Branden Grace in the USPGA at Hilton Head.

The Masters

Normally when I post on the golfing weekend I’m pretty confident that any error on the US PGA or European tour will not be noticed as there is not that much coverage. However with Danny Willett adorning the green jacket, the first Briton for 20 years so to do, it’s front page news. This [...]

It all comes to this in the end

Yesterday I sent an email to my brother, five and a half years my junior, about our theoretical plans for playing golf this year and was slightly taken aback when he replied saying that he hadn’t been enjoying the game for some time and had decided to stop playing it – well, save for making a [...]
