    Anthony Kim gives Jessica Alba some putting lessons

    Published 2/4/2010 by jdye in Golf
    Anthony Kim was, for a brief, shining moment, the great shining hope of the PGA Tour, and then, well, things kinda went south for the lad. He fell in love with the idea of being a celebrity rather than being a golfer, and had a bit of trouble winning on the course. On the plus side, it means he... [More]

    Published 2/4/2010 by jdye in Golf

    You want a look at what life is going to be like for Tour pros with the new, less forgiving grooves?

    Elin Woods is staying at Brett Favre's house?

    Published 1/29/2010 by jdye in Golf
    So, as rumors go, this is a good if goofy one -- while Tiger Woods may or may not be getting treatment for sex addiction at a Hattiesburg clinic, his wife Elin may or may not be staying at the palatial estate of Mississippi's favorite son, Brett Favre.

    Is the Big Easy still superstar worthy?

    Published 1/29/2010 by jdye in Golf
    I messaged a good friend who works in the sports journalism world  Thursday and asked him to give me 10 PGA Tour players off the top of his head.  His list included none other than Ernie Els, the 40-year-old South African. It didn't surprise me that Ernie made the cut. &n... [More]

    Choose your lofts wisely

    Published 1/28/2010 by jdye in Golf
    If you're going to use new wedges this year that conform to the new USGA groove rules (as all PGA Tour pros must do), you're surely going to have trouble stopping your wedge shots on the greens.

    Published 1/26/2010 by jdye in Golf
    Say this for Sergio Garcia -- he picks his spots. When he was asked this past weekend about the 2008 Ryder Cup -- you remember, that Cup where a bunch of scrappy Americans waxed the highly favored European squad --  Sergio had an easy answer for why the U.S. romped. The reason: no Tig... [More]
