PGA Tour of America in Dublin this week?

Well they are in Dublin but sadly it's Dublin Ohio at Muirfield Village Golf Club for the Memorial Tournament where the worlds best will line up as they compete in one of my favourite events before the next major the US Open. As Jack Nicklaus is the host, all the top players will be out. Defending champ Steve Stricker, Bubba making first appearance since Master's, World number 1 Luke Donald after his win at the BMW last week at Wentworth who will be a firm favourite. Rory McIlroy will be out to regain some form before his title defence at the US Open. He has been off form by missing the last two cuts.  Mickelson will be out smashing the ball again and is always in the mix. My pick is Justin Rose who has been in good form of late.Happy Golfing, watching or playing!

Volvo World Matchplay

Today is the start of the Volvo World Matchplay Championship at Finca Cortesin GC in Andalucia were Ian Poulter defends his title. Matchplay being such a good contest really anyone can win. Martin
kaymer is the bookies Fav but my pick is Justin Rose. He has been on pretty steady form this season and at a good price of around 15/2. Each way I think you can't over look past Brandt Snedeker  at 12/1.Hope you all enjoy the golf.

What is your best golf TIP??

I have had many golf tips over the years but for me the best tip I got was off my good friend Ryan Waltz from ECCC.It is one I try to stick by when the swing is not feeling good.Just keep your left eye on the right side of the ball.

Why do we play golf?

Birds chirping,smell of the grass the excitement of the game,getting ready to hit that first shot down the middle.There is so much joy and anger or frustration in 1 game.I new when I started playing the game with my dad when I was 9 I fell in love.It has been my life since then when I was in school all I wanted was golf,worked as a trainee pro as a caddie as a grounds keeper,outside services I have done most jobs at golf clubs just to be round the game. I learnt some of my best golf in the states when I was a caddie. It made me a better player. I turned pro but not great at the moment put allot of pressure on myself with money and never relaxed into my game,practise is  good then I start to worry about every we thing. But I think it is never easy at any level to perform your best but for me it was hard as a pro not so much the golf but just getting my head round 3 day comps,you cant win a comp in one round but you can sure loose it.
