On Par – All about golf in Australia

Paul Casey (ranked 11th in the World) defeated Shaun Micheel (ranked 56) to win the recent World Matchplay Championships. Casey won by a crushing 10&8. Only a couple of days earlier, Micheel had easily defeated the best player in the World (His Tigerness).

Matchplay has a couple of problems, [...]

This is the image that confronts any of the other PGA Tour golfers teeing up in the US at the moment.

Tiger has just won his 5th straight, picking up silverware for: - British Open - Buick Open - PGA Championship - Bridgestone Invtl - Deutsche Bank Championship

Thats a pretty awesome record, his opponents each week arent exactly crap, but they [...]

Recently jetted down to Launceston (Tasmania) for a weekend with mate Scott. Primary reason for this boys weekend was to watch our respective football teams, Hawthorn and Kangaroos, duke it out in a Round 21 clash between 14th and 13th place!!

Decided to make a long weekend of it and played the Country [...]

After a relatively competitive first 2 rounds Tiger eventually cruised to a win in the PGA Championship, racking up his 12th major in the process. Its now most likely ‘when’ than ‘if’ Tiger wins his 19th major to move in front of the Golden Bear. It could already be argued that he is [...]

What a year its been for Geoff Ogilvy. Until the US Open he was one of the strong group of Australians on the PGA Tour but rated well below Adam Scott and even Appleby/Allenby. (Above Badds though!) Fast forward to August, he has a US Open title and gets paired with Lefty [...]

One shocking swing habit I lapse into is moving my weight too far right on the backswing resulting in a wide variety of inconsistent and hacked shots. Keeping weight on the inside of the right foot on the backswing helps avoid the sideways body movement.

Following Wednesdays debacle I was ready to put the clubs into hybernation for a few months! So as I stood on the tee at the Frog with mates Bondy and Jim, the mental images of hacked, hooked and scuffed shots flooded back. After two holes, the swing was still slightly axe-like but some [...]

Some days just aren’t meant for golf (sad but true!). Today was one of those days. Second round of the Herald Sun Matchplay, paired against Cameron a tennis teacher from Heidelberg Golf Club. With no practice since the last round, the swing felt closer to an axe swinging into wood than [...]

Tiger Woods racked up his 50th win on the PGA tour with a comfortable 3 shot victory over a fast finishing Jim Furyk. He sets the record as the youngest player (30) to win 50 tournaments and he did so in the fewest starts (196). Even the Golden Bear needed another 3 [...]
