A revelation on the road to Wimbledon

Today just an observation. Writing as someone who is about as unsporty as it is possible to be, at some point during the Men’s Singles Final at Wimbledon yesterday I decided that, as a sport played by individuals – well, I must immediately qualify that by adding that, even when played in its [...]

The U.S Open

Cricket has got so much coverage in the pages off the Rust this  past week that I am grateful that the U.S. Open gets a mention. There was much controversy in the build up about the  quality of the course at Chambers Bay, Washington, Seattle. Mike Davies, the PGA chief executive, locked horns [...]

Swedes triumphant

Both the Nordea Masters and  the Memorial were won by Swedes, Alex Noren by 4 shots and David Lingmerth after a 3 hole play off with Justin Rose. Aside from Henrik Stensen, Sweden does not have too many household names in golf but  have a whole raft of players like Farrh, Blixt and Magnus [...]

Quad hike

It’s not often you see one of the best golfers in the world card a 8 (known as a quad) let alone 2 but Ricky Fowler and Dustin Johnson managed this over the weekend. Fowler was playing in the Irish Open where one of its sponsors  Rory Mcilroy bagged a 80.  Dane Soren Kjeldsen came out on [...]

McIlroy on song

There are few sights better in sport let alone golf than to watch Rory at the top of his game. On Saturday he shot a 61 – much as I enjoyed and appreciated the round I had a lingering fear that the record of one of my golfing heroes Al “Mr 59 ” Geiberger would be equalled. There [...]

Rory triumphs in World Matchplay

I always enjoy match play golf. It has has a sudden death element that strokeplay where one feels making the cut is all does not possess. The world match play has existed in various formats with different sponsors for many years. This year Cadillac has taken over from Accenture. I followed Steve [...]

English golfing triumphant

Justin Rose, who the Zurich Classic in Louisiana, and David Howell very nearly took the Volvo China Open at Shanghai where he finished second to Wu Ashan. Both Englishmen had been chosen by the Racing Post team and therefore backed by Pargiter. Steve Palmer I like to think was absent from duty [...]

The weekend golf

Both the PGA RBC Heritage at Hilton Head tourney and the European Shenzchen International Genzon, China, went to play-offs won by Jim Furyk and Kirakach Aphibarnrat respectively in exciting contests. There was also some impressive forecasting by Steve Palmer who advised Aphibarnrat, Peter Uhlein [...]

The Masters reviewed

I kept my Racing Post Masters Supplement as there are few more satisfying things, other than winning, for the punter than to boast of his success. Steve Palmer selected McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Ryna Palmer, Gary Woodland and Paul Casey. Only Rory finished in the top five and that at a unattractive [...]

Masters coverage

For some absurd reason the Masters bigwigs have always limited the tv coverage. It was not until 8.00pm ( 2.00pm Georgia time) that you could watch the coverage live. Thus we the viewer missed two impressive rounds by Englishmen Justin Rose and Paul Casey and tomorrow there may be no coverage live [...]
