Shocking Golf News


Apparently, Padraig Harrington is still a wee bit rattled: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/still_rattled_padraig_harrington?utm_source=a-section.


No, not really. He's paired with Woods again for the first two days of the PGA. I like Padraig or at least he's not given me a reason to dislike him. He's got a fire in his belly and takes an athletic cut at the ball. Woods, of course, can be a force of nature if he's lined up well and has faithfully eaten his bran that morning. The Golf Channel broadcasts the rounds during the evening hours which is one of the greatest developments since air conditioning. Nice to unwind to a few birdies at night. Anyway, they're playing the PGA at Hazeltine in MinneSOta again and have lengthened the thing to somewhere around 7,600 yards or so. Insane to consider especially from an amateur standpoint. At my stage of life, I've pretty much resigned myself to the middle tees in an attempt to minimize misery holes during the round. It's partially effective.
