I played golf yesterday. Not a giant surprise there I suppose, but I made the decision to play with a Callaway Chrome Soft ball. I have worked on my swing for the last 3 years to get it to a point, at least with the irons, I can play reasonable golf. My driver still requires … Continue reading Callaway Chrome Wow
(Photo Courtesy of The Independent, UK) He reminds me not of a golfer built with the perfect physique nor the perfect swing but as a golfer with the tenacity of a cat stalking a bird. Jordan Speith looked done. After 13 holes he was history - surely it was Matt Kuchar's time. Then without warning … Continue reading Heir Jordan
Well well well. Europe wins the Ryder Cup - what did I tell you? I feel somewhat vindicated today. Very smug. A sort of "I told you so" satisfaction. The European team hammered the USA - again. And, then the egos came out. One in particular. Over the last few years, I've grown to like … Continue reading Unsportsmanlike conduct
This week marks the start of the Ryder Cup in Scotland. It could have been the People's Republic of Scotland or whatever....not to be. Outside of the four major championships, this is the greatest golf event staged. The players are fired up, the fans are fired up and the media go on a hype fest. … Continue reading Riding the Ryder Wave
Could the New Zealand Election get any weirder? I'm sure weirder isn't a word, well at least shouldn't be. The country has suffered a sort of temporary psychosis where, temporarily, the brain acts as if there is nothing else going on. The news is all about it. There are debates, mud-slinging, spying, leaked emails,HACKED emails, books and … Continue reading Temporary (election) Psychosis

I got home in time to watch the sports news and saw the highlights of the Mayweather fight. The guy is quite the athlete and … Continue reading American Sport
I'm pretty sure I just coined a new word...statted. I sit here watching Tasman dismantle Auckland. A 100,000 person population base vs. a 1.4million population base. How does this happen? Good to see...don't know the answer, and am not going to try to answer. I've just read an article about the golf swing, moreover the … Continue reading Over Statted?
Have I come to the end? Of my golf career? Oh no. It came to me tonight out of the blue. Golf is rooted (translate to fucked for my non-New Zealand readers). The marquee event in NZ golf is playing this week in Queenstown; the New Zealand Open. It should have been the NZPGA, but … Continue reading Stark realisation
He did it. Baz McCullum made 300 on a bowlers wicket and saved the test against the Indians. This means the Indians leave our shores without a win!! I don't doubt that one of my former posts will cause a stir, but I'm having a rethink. Nz were 90 odd for 5 in the second … Continue reading 3 tons of fun!!
Disclaimer: There will be bad language in this post, so if one is sensitive to this type of profanity then don't fucking read on. I am at a loss. Golf on at Riviera, golf on at Victoria golf club, Breakers on, NRL nines, more golf, NRL nines, Super Rugby starts Sunday, Kevin Durant scores 41 … Continue reading SWEEEEEEEET!
