The SA Golf Hall of Fame finally opened at the end of 2009 with a grand induction ceremony attended by the who’s who of Southern African golf. We’ve managed to get our hands on a short highlights video of the special occasion.
It is becoming increasingly clear that 40 is the new 30 – in golf anyway. Everybody’s favourite Spanish rogue Miguel Angel Jimenez proved that there is plenty of life in old golfing dogs when he out-survived Lee Westwood in a three-hole playoff for the Dubai Desert Classic title.
Charl Schwartzel has been named the European Tour’s Golfer of the Month for January 2010, following his wins in the Africa and Joburg Opens… He leads the Race to Dubai with earnings of more than E500 000 and has had a decent showing in the Desert Swing so far.
Yippee, Phil accepted Scott McCarron’s heartfelt apology, so he won’t be unleashing the lawyers on the formerly less famous McCarron, who unwisely allowed himself to let slip, “It’s cheating…” when asked about the Ping Eye2 wedge controversy.
The Mole picked up on what he thought was a really good point today; why is Phil Mickelson, the self-proclaimed master of the short game, having to use questionable wedges? Surely if he’s that good, he doesn’t need ‘training wheels’?
Robert Karlsson played flawless golf at the Doha Golf Club to win the 2010 Qatar Masters by three stokes. The 40-year-old Swede, who hasn’t played much golf in the last year due a bizarre eye injury, was looking in really impressive form and must be itching to get back inside the OWGR top 10.
Just when you thought the Tiger scandal was coming to a quiet end and that golf was about to return to some sense of normality, Phil Mickelson is accused of cheating.
The Mole has heard that John Daly is apparently going to quit golf... again. Has he finally heard all the Mole’s negative comments or is he just not making any money out on Tour? He posted the following two-part message on Facebook:
It has emerged that Charl Schwartzel will be getting married in September after he and his girlfriend, Rosalind, got engaged last weekend. They have been going out for the last two years and Charl figured that the time is right. The Mole wishes them well! And he’s going to play in the Masters in April!
The Mole recently found out that Rory McIlroy had just swopped to the new Titleist MB irons. For the Mole, it doesn’t get much better than these clubs; they are the real deal muscle back iron, forged from 1025 carbon steel and finished off with superb chrome plating. If you are not hitting the ball out the middle of the club every time, then these clubs are not for you!
