0 Comment DONALD GROWING IN STATURE
24-10-2011 08:31
Luke Donald is no Tiger Woods and never will be, if only because he lacks the explosive power that saw Woods blast his way into the headlines at an early age and then go on to majestically dominate golf for more than a decade.
And, of course, Donald has yet to win a major, whereas the Tiger won 14 before scandal, injuries and swing changes saw his career grind to a halt and a new band of World...

TIGER'S PULL OUT RAISES QUESTIONS
23-06-2011 15:25
No mention was made of The Open when Tiger Woods announced on his website on Wednesday that he has now also withdrawn from the AT&T National.

Geographically the Coachella Valley, of which La Quinta is part, is the northwestern extension of the Colorado Desert so I was stunned when day two of the five-day Bob Hope Classic was washed out.
It is being played over four courses in the La Quinta area not too far south of wealthy Palm Desert and the famed Palm Springs, the holiday playground of many Hollywood celebrities of today and yester...
