I had the obvious headline written for this piece on Saturday night – “Tiger is Back.”
And he would have been if not for a final round of 72 at the Abu Dhabi, which dropped him into a 3t. After all, Woods was slamming his clubs again, he was hitting greens like a machine (85% through [...]

Haney presents his side of the story
January 26th, 2012 · No Comments
I have been a little hard on Hank Haney of late because he chose to write The Big Miss, an unauthorized semi-biography/instructional on Tiger Woods.
Still, every dog deserves his day in court and Haney had his today with his appearance on Morning Drive. So, did Haney do us fans a service in writing this book, [...]

January 3rd, 2012 · No Comments
Here is Jay Townsend’s take on Rory McIlroy on the Golf Channel’s Morning Drive today:
“He should win because of his talent.”
“He is the most talented player in the game.”
The announcers make the mistake of talking only about physical talent, perhaps because they can see a player hit shots, but cannot see inside their minds. However, [...]
