The Ministry of Defence (MoD – not to be confused with MoTD) is apparently quite heavily involved in the golf business. They have 11 courses, one pitch and putt centre and a driving range. And now they are under pressure to off load them sharpish.
Six time European Tour winner and all round golfing good guy is finally fit after suffering from a costly wrist injury back in March last year. Last week he played his first professional tournament since his injury. This week he's at it again. A few days before Christmas he met up with Gorgeous George to talk fitness training with a rugby team, one armed practice, and new years resolutions...
Stevie G ‘Blackballed’ by prestigious Golf Club. Former Liverpool FC and England star, Steven Gerrard has had his application to join Hillside Golf Club snubbed according to reports.

At 12.05 tonight our dreams come true. Real Star Wars films, about the real Star Wars characters. Now if you're anything like us you've probably got some geeky Star Wars memorabilia.

It’s very easy for a manufacturer to slap a new coat of paint (normally pink, lavender if you’re lucky), stick in a lighter shaft, and tell you it’s a ladies set. But they aren’t really ladies clubs, and aren’t designed to help with their golfing problems. Taylormade have set out to design a set of clubs specifically built for the female golf swing.
Has every TV goon got it in for Tiger, or what?! First Nick Faldo weighed in with "Tiger is finished in the majors", and now Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee has ripped into him by claiming Tiger doesn't deserve to ever be a Ryder Cup captain or assistant...
The future is here and we have Tiger to thank for it. Not only is the golf course he designed a dead ringer for Augusta, you can pretty much do what you want at Bluejack National. Wanna wear jeans? No dramas. Wanna wear your shirt untucked? Help yourself. Plus there are short courses for kids and a shed load of other fun stuff to do. So many activities...
There are certainly worse phone calls to receive on a Friday afternoon after recently coming to terms with the fact that your bank account clearly doesn’t shout ‘late summer holiday’. I was off to the Villamoura, to play in the Portugal Masters Pro-Am.
