Bob Burns Rolls Into Fantasy Golf

Sign up for Fantasy Golf and make your picks and you'll go into the draw to win a Bob Burns Roll-In Putter. You heard right homebody, you don't even have to win, just sign up and you'll have a chance to bag yourself one of the greatest putters every to grace the greens. Here's the word on the putters from Bob Burns:

With the Roll-In Putters, we present a line of putters with a contemporary design and a revolutionary technology. The technology embodied in these putters – certainly its most advanced and elaborate elements – is probably best illustrated by simply looking at a picture of the putter. With its 345 gram, computer milled, aluminum head and extended mallet shape, it features not only a T-shaped sightline, but a lightweight material that effectively transfers energy to the ball at a consistent rate. In its standard configuration, it lifts the ball very slightly at impact to create an immediate end-to-end roll, as well as the outstanding feel that is necessary to control your distance.

Most significantly, the Roll-In Putter features seven weight portals and adjustable screws of varying masses that you may use to customize your putting game. These adjustable weight screws serve four functions. They offer a basic three-point stability system, with a dense tungsten screw in both the heel and toe, and two back weights equidistant from the center line; the result is an enlarged sweet spot. The fully weighted clubhead maximizes the moment of inertia (MOI). But you may also adjust the weights of the clubhead o compensate for the speed of the greens that you are playing on. If you tend to push or pull your putts, you can also bias the weight towards the heel or the toe to correct your problem.

The special design of this putter, with its seven weight portals allows an accomplished player to move the center of gravity anywhere that they may want to. Having the center of gravity towards the back of the club reduces backspin as well as eliminates unwanted skidding.

Beyond the standard weight screws, there are other screws readily available – from 2 to 10 grams each. Putting conditions are never the same, and you need a putter that can compensate for those changes. The Roll-In Putter was built to do just that.

The world’s most extreme golf courses

For travelers keen to combine an active vacation with an exotic locale, few sports compare to golf when it comes to transporting oneself—both in the physical and mental sense of the word. And in the world of golf travel, perfectly sculpted greens with postcard views and predictably luxurious clubhouses certainly have a way of whisking one away.

But every once in a while, the intrepid golfer needs to push the envelope with a true gonzo golf escape in order to spice up his or her drive.

As is the case with travel itself, the challenges of teeing off in unfamiliar terrain are rewarded with the opportunity to navigate and discover a new destination outside of your comfort zone. The wide and wacky world, as it turns out, happens to be full of oddball golf experiences. Bob Fikac, Director of Golf at Lowes Island Club in Potomac Falls, Va., recommends traveling to different countries to play because it humbles you as a player.


Says Fikac, “every course is different when it comes to geography and weather elements… You can go to Australia and play cross country with kangaroos, or travel to Hawaii and play in the shadow of a volcano.”

Indeed—the land Down Under abounds with unusual greens, including a few that are more akin to arid deserts than the usual verdant driving terrain. In the far reaches of South Australia’s outback country, Coober Pedy Opal Fields Golf Club is a sandy course with nary a blade of grass in sight. The greens, in fact, consist of sand slicked with oil that prevents the bunkers and fairways from getting blown out of shape.


Soon enough, the world’s longest golf course will also find its home in Australia. The Nullarbor Links course is scheduled to open in late 2008, and will offer 18 holes played over a whopping 800 miles along the desolate Eyre Highway. With an average of about 50 miles between holes, the course will be a welcome diversion for travelers making the long drive through one of Australia’s most remote regions, with stop-offs in roadhouse stations to tee off along the way.


At the opposite end of the climate spectrum, there’s ice golfing. The annual World Ice Golf Championship is held each March atop moving ice floes on an island in Northern Greenland. Participants play with red balls that are more visible against the calving glaciers.

If these environments sound more daunting than inspiring, think of them as learning experiences. After all, even golfing at unfamiliar locales in your home country has a way of broadening your mind—as well as honing your adaptive skills with the sport itself.

“Wherever I’ve gone in the world and played golf, it opens these doors and breaks through all these social conventions,” says John Barton, editor-in-chief of Golf Digest International. “You get to the other side of the world, meet people from an entirely different culture and background, and find they’re golf nuts anyway.” Barton has golfed in such unusual locales as North Korea and Bhutan.

So even if you don’t speak a word of Afrikaans, rest assured that you can get away with golf lingo and the slang of the swing at the unusual Hans Merensky Golf Course in South Africa. The course shares a boundary with the legendary Kruger National Park, and wildlife sightings as you cruise the fairways might include giraffes, elephants and herding waterbuck. Plus, the four-star hotel on the golf estate is ideal for passing a night or two; thatched chalets overlooking the holes offer a private retreat in the already remote locale.

Make your way to Coober Pedy in South Australia, where there's not a blade of grass or a stitch of greenery in sight at the Coober Pedy Opal Fields Golf Club. The course is basically one enormous sand trap that must be oiled with grease lest it blow away in the dry desert winds, and golfers tote swatches of faux grass from hole to hole to ease teeing off.

Then there’s Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzen, China — the world's largest golf complex. “I’ve been playing around the world,” says member Billy Tse, “and I think Mission Hills is pretty much the best.” He drives roughly an hour from his home in Hong Kong several times a week to play golf with friends and enjoy the clubhouse.

For a real wild time stateside, head to the northernmost golf club in the United States. At North Star Golf Club in Fairbanks, Alaska, the course scorecard actually includes a checklist for wildlife sightings, which may include moose, snowshoe hares, coyotes, sandhill cranes and marmots. During the summer, when the sun shines nearly round-the-clock, North Star is open 20 hours per day. They close between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. — and then, just for maintenance.

The U.S. is also home to the world’s only trans-national golf course at Lajitas, The Ultimate Hideout in Western Texas, where a bonus hole consists of an irretrievable drive across the Rio Grande River into Mexico. An old Wild West military town, Lajitas was once General Pershing’s center of operations for tracking down Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa. These days, the dusty outpost has been transformed with fine dining (featuring wild Texas game), suites and private haciendas. There’s something undeniably Disney-esque about Lajitas, but golfing on American soil has rarely felt so far flung.

Garcia-Weekley Tiff

Garcia,Weekley Not Buddies On The Course

By Craig Dolch


South Florida golf fans would get an interesting treat next week if Sergio Garcia and Boo Weekley were to be paired together in the first two rounds of the Honda Classic at PGA National.

They’re not the best of friends.

Their relationship was fractured in last year’s PGA Championship at Southern Hills when they were paired together in the third round. Weekley inadvertantly made a mistake with Garcia’s scorecard and was disqualified from the year’s final major when he quickly signed his card and left the scoring trailer before the error was detected.

As luck would have it, the two faced each other in Thursday’s second round of the World Match Play Championship. Garcia took an early lead, but Weekley stormed back on the back nine to win 3 & 1. It was clear they’re not the best of friends, and Weekley wasn’t thrilled when Garcia made a noise in frustration as Weekley was about to putt on the 14th hole.

Asked about their relationship, Weekley took the high road: ” Man, that’s water under the bridge, dude,” he said. “No, we didn’t say a whole lot out there, you know? We’re out there to play golf.”

Their differences go beyond the scoring snafu. Garcia is an excitable Spaniard who doesn’t mind showing his emotion on the course — good or bad. Weekley is a country boy who takes things at a much slower pace.

But there’s no denying both players have a world of talent — Garcia is No. 13 in the latest world rankings, Weekley No. 44.

Weekley admitted he got intimidated by playing with marquee players when he first made it to the PGA Tour in 2002. But as he told me and several others reporters ar last month’s Buick Invitational: “I don’t give a flying donkey what others think of me.”

That Weekley profile story will appear in Monday’s Post, recounting how he should have been Honda’s defending champion had he not three-putted the 72nd hole from 25 feet to force a playoff.

Just another sub-plot to watch next week at the Honda.

Which Is The Fake And How To Tell?

Manufacturers face a constant dilemma: They want to let consumers know what to look for so they don't get ripped off, but in an effort to catch counterfeiters, they don't want to tip how they spot a fake. Although manufacturers contacted for this article would not reveal many visual means of detecting counterfeits, they did provide other advice that may prevent you from becoming a victim.

• If a club lacks a serial number, there is a good chance it could be fake. But if it does have a serial number, do not assume it is legitimate. Some counterfeiters simply copy serial numbers from legitimate products and put them on the bogus clubs.

• Look for the egregious error. There have been instances where counterfeiters have misspelled a word. Although rare, it is a dead giveaway.

• Beware brand-new clubs for sale on an Internet auction site. While some stories of "just won in a raffle" or "got as a gift" are true, some aren't.

• If you are buying an entire set of clubs, including bag and travel bag -- at anything resembling a good deal -- the probability is fairly high the products are counterfeits.

• If the club you are evaluating claims to be titanium and a magnet clings to it, it is a fake. Magnets will not cling to titanium.

• If the club purports to have a graphite crown, tap a quarter on the top of the head. Counterfeiters are known to substitute metal and paint it to resemble graphite. A fake clubhead will ring louder (somewhat like a bell) than the real thing. This method is how we determined the FT-i on the left in the above photo was a counterfeit.

• Finally, if you suspect a product might be counterfeit, contact the manufacturer whose name appears on the club. Although they are not responsible for the product, they will tell you if it is a fake -- and if it is, likely will be able to shut down the seller.

In short, you'll be doing everyone a favor.

Talks of a Perfect Season

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — The closest anyone came to a perfect season on the PGA Tour was Ben Hogan.

He won every major championship he played in 1953, and every official tournament he entered except for the Seminole Pro-Am Invitational, where he tied for second. Then again, Hogan only played six times that year because of battered legs from a bus accident.

Tiger Woods will play no more than 17 events on the PGA Tour this year, so a 2-0 start might be a little early for anyone to get excited.

Even so, expectations were as high as the desert sun at noon when Woods left Arizona with yet another victory. It was his fourth in a row on tour since early September, all done in record fashion.

He set a 72-hole scoring record at Cog Hill outside Chicago and won by eight shots at the Tour Championship and the Buick Invitational, both record margins. On Sunday, he smoked Stewart Cink 8 and 7 in the Accenture Match Play Championship, the biggest blowout in the finals in 10 years of a tournament that Woods considers the toughest to win this side of a major.

"I think this certainly is the best stretch I've every played," Woods said.

Strong words — downright scary — considering that Woods won nine times, including three straight majors, in 2000 and that he won six consecutive PGA Tour events at the end of 2006, a streak that reached seven until losing in the Match Play the following year.

Woods, who also won in Dubai earlier this month, has never before started a season with three straight victories, and it is hard not to speculate how long he can keep winning given his history at some of the tournaments coming up.

Next is the Arnold Palmer Invitational March 13-16 at Bay Hill, where Woods won four straight times from 2000 to 2003. The week after that is the CA Championship at Doral, where he has won the last three years.

Then the Masters April 10-13.

"He just morphs his game into the courses," Cink said. "So I don't think there's a course that's going to present him with a real obstacle as far as him not being a favorite."

Woods did little to squash the notion of a perfect season when someone asked him if winning them all was within reason.

"That's my intent. That's why you play," Woods said after collecting his 63rd career tour victory and his 15th title in the World Golf Championships. "If you don't believe you can win an event, don't show up."

But it also is his intent to make every putt and hit every shot just how he wants. No one does that, of course. No one wins every tournament. Byron Nelson holds the record with 11 straight victories during a year in which he won 18 times in 30 events. That means he lost 12 times that year.

A perfect season in golf?

"I do find that laughable," Hal Sutton said Monday. "Anybody who knows golf knows that ain't going to happen. You can only own this game for a certain period of time. Even if your name is Tiger Woods, you don't own it forever."

Sutton was among those who beat Woods during a time when the world's No. 1 player looked unbeatable, going head-to-head with him at The Players Championship in 2000 and winning by one shot.

He watched part of the championship match Sunday "until I got bored."

"Tiger is definitely more dominating," Sutton said.

Curtis Strange is among those who played in the prime years of Woods and Jack Nicklaus, and he said it is pointless to compare generations. But he also found speculation of a perfect season to be "a little over the top."

"He is by far and away the best player," Strange said. "We've never had a player this much better than the second-best player. He's unbelieveable, really. But he's not unbeatable. Let's not get ahead of ourselves just because he beat Stewart Cink 8 and 7."

As usual, the best comparisons are to Woods himself.

Most consider his best golf to be from late 1999 through the 2001 Masters, when he won 16 of 32 times on the PGA Tour and four consecutive majors. Dating to the 2006 British Open, Woods has won 15 of his last 24 events, a 63 percent clip.

"He just has this strong sense of belief in himself that he's just never out of it," Cink said. "He's never going to mess up. He's just always in control. He never loses his composure."

The more he talked, the more Cink made Woods out to be a machine.

"I think maybe we ought to slice him open to see what's inside there," Cink said. "Maybe nuts and bolts."

Not many thought Woods could ever produce better results than 2000, the benchmark of greatness in his era. Woods, however, has been saying all along that his plan was to get better. And with each victory, what seemed impossible is not unthinkable.

Woods knows he was fortunate to win the Match Play. In the first round, he rallied from 3 down with five holes to play against J.B. Holmes by winning four straight holes with three birdies and a 35-foot eagle. In the third round, Aaron Baddeley twice stood over putts inside 12 feet to win the match before Woods prevailed on the 20th hole.

"I played 117 holes this week," Woods said. "I could have easily played 16 and then been home. That's the fickleness of match play."

And such is the fickle nature of golf.

Odds are, Woods won't win them all.

But if he were to even win three of his next six on the PGA Tour, that would give him 18 wins in his last 30 starts, essentially matching Nelson's golden year in 1945.

And even that might not be enough to satisfy him.

"You can always better," Woods said. "You can always keep improving."

Cut Policy Cut

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The PGA Tour amended its divisive cut policy, giving players on the cut line one more day of competition to separate themselves from the bottom of the pack.

Starting this week at the Honda Classic, the tour will return to a traditional 36-hole cut for the top 70 and ties. If more than 78 players make the cut, there will be another cut to the top 70 and ties after the third round.

"On the surface, that sounds like doing the same thing over again," commissioner Tim Finchem said Tuesday. "But it's really not, because the field spreads."

The cut policy changed this year to avoid large fields on the weekend, which led to 5 1/2-hour rounds and disrupted the television window. When the cut was more than 78 players, the nearest number to 70 advanced to the weekend, while the others received last-place money.

Eighteen players at the Sony Open and 19 players at the Buick Invitational were kept from playing on the weekend under the previous policy. Anthony Kim was among them in San Diego, and it could have kept him from qualifying for a World Golf Championship.

Others complained that they didn't have a chance to move up the leaderboard over the final two rounds, if not for a chance to win, then at least to get into the top 10 and earn valuable Ryder Cup or FedEx Cup points, not to mention money.

"I just think we didn't think through the new rule," Finchem said. "It's hard to understand. People see players making the cut and not playing. Nobody's happy with that."

Not much was said about the policy until early this season. Some players acknowledged they didn't actually know about it.

The 16-man Players Advisory Council met last week at Riviera and made the recommendation, which the tour's policy board voted on Monday in Florida. The tour also will consider changing the so-called second cut to one with 65 and ties in the future.

"It's kind of a compromise, kind of half a loaf," Finchem said. "But it's the best step for right now. ... It may be that we fall in love with this. It may be that we want to reevaluate Saturdays. But everybody seems to be pretty comfortable right now going in this direction."

Woods King of Kings

AP

MARANA, Ariz. -- Forget the World Golf Championships were ever created, and no one would dispute the world supremacy of Tiger Woods. At the very worst, he still would have 48 career victories on the PGA TOUR and be miles ahead of everyone else.

Woods now has won 15 times against the best players in the world.

Darren Clarke is next with two WGC victories, the 2000 Accenture Match Play Championship and the 2003 NEC Invitational at Firestone, both times beating the world’s No. 1 player.

Ernie Els, a three-time major champion, has one world title (Ireland in 2004).

Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh have combined for none.

Never mind the world ranking. Maybe his world titles are the true reflection of the gap between Woods and his alleged competition.

“I don’t know how to answer that one,” Woods said Sunday. “All I know is that I just love playing against the best players in the world. That’s the fun part because we don’t get to do it that often.”

But there is a case to be made that beating the best isn’t necessarily harder than beating the rest in a full-field event.

Clearly, the Match Play Championship is the toughest of the WGCs to win, and it’s a testament to his ability (physical and mental) that Woods has won three times and reached the final another. Only three other players have been to the finals twice.

But in the first three WGCs he won at Firestone, Woods never had to beat more than 40 players in 72 holes of stroke play. He had to beat only 60 players in his first American Express title at Valderrama.

In his TOUR career, Woods has won 20 times against limited fields with guaranteed money.

Playing a full field, whether that’s 120 players at invitationals like Bay Hill or 156 players in the summer, means more chances that someone will have a career week.

Bob May was one of those guys at Valhalla in 2000 when he lost to Woods in a three-hole playoff at the PGA Championship. Bob Burns was one of those guys at Disney in 2002 when he shot 65 to win. Steve Flesch went birdie-for-birdie with Woods in the final round of Disney two years earlier, and both were beaten by a 62 from Duffy Waldorf.

There’s a lot of truth to the PGA TOUR's slogan, “These guys are good.”

“If you’ve got 60 guys at Bridgestone, get by 10 or 12 of them and the scores tend to look different,” Fred Couples said Tuesday. “That’s sugarcoating it a little bit.”

In most tournaments, only half the field is going to play well, leading to the 70 or so players who make the cut. Apply that math to the WGCs, and there are only 30 or 40 guys to worry about. The average margin between first and worst in the WGC events (stroke play) is 32.4 strokes. The average margin at regular TOUR events last year was 24.6.

The WGCs are not the only tournaments where the number of players who can win is less than what it seems.

The U.S. Open last year had 29 players who had to go through two stages of qualifying. Those are called dreamers. The 97-man field at the Masters last year had 10 players on the Champions Tour and five amateurs. The PGA Championship has 20 club pros.

The pressure, the history and the golf course are what makes them tough.

But there is no getting around the fact that WGCs use the world ranking (top 50) as the core criteria, and while there forever will be debate on whether Shingo Katayama or Soren Hansen belong in the top 50, there can be no argument that Mickelson, Els, Singh, Padraig Harrington, Steve Stricker and Sergio Garcia are pushovers.

“When it’s only 64 guys, it certainly seems easier to win the event,” Couples said. “But when it’s the top 64 guys, it’s harder. Tiger wins them, and it’s no surprise.”

Firestone has always been a course that appeals to Woods, and his record supports that. He has won six times in 10 appearances and has never finished worse than fifth.

But consider the CA Championship, previously the American Express. Before it moved to Doral, where Woods had won the previous two years as a full PGA TOUR event, he won that world title on courses in Atlanta, San Francisco, Spain, Ireland and London. No other PGA TOUR player has won a tournament six times on six courses.

It’s hard to find a tournament Woods plays that doesn’t have the best fields on the strongest courses.

It was only three years ago when he played 21 times on the PGA TOUR. Since then, he has dropped the Byron Nelson Championship, where the winning score has been under 270 in 12 of the last 13 tournaments; Disney, where he once shot 263 and tied for third; and Pebble Beach, which along with bumpy greens and six-hour rounds also has a 180-man field, including just about everyone from Q-school.

The weakest field he has beaten over the last two years—based on points awarded in the world ranking—was the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston in 2006, the year before it became a playoff event.

His schedule now is more predictable than ever. Of the PGA TOUR events he played last year, he has won all of them at least once except the AT&T National, which was held for the first time.

It’s not surprising then that Woods has won 24 tournaments on the PGA TOUR (multiple times at 15 of them). Singh has won 23 different PGA TOUR events and Mickelson has won at 19 tournaments.

But for Woods, everywhere he plays, everything he does, is geared toward the majors.

Ultimately, that’s where the greatest players are measured.

Fred Couples, Greg Norman to Lead Golf's Presidents Cup Teams

Bloomberg

Fred Couples and Greg Norman will lead the U.S. and International teams for the 2009 Presidents Cup golf matches in San Francisco.

Couples will replace Jack Nicklaus, who led the U.S. the past three times in the biennial competition against a team of players from outside the U.S. and Europe.

Norman, a three-time Presidents Cup competitor from Australia, replaces South Africa's Gary Player.

The U.S. won at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada last year and at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia in 2005. The 2009 Presidents Cup is scheduled to be played at Harding Park Golf Club.

``It's kind of nerve-wracking to say that you're following Jack Nicklaus, but I think I will do a great job and will certainly have a good time,'' Couples said on a media conference call from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, site of this week's Honda Classic tournament.

Couples, 48, played on the U.S. team in 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2005, compiling a 9-5-2 record, including 3-0-1 in singles play.

Norman, 53, competed in the 1996, 1998 and 2000 events, posting a 7-6-1 record, 1-2-0 in singles.

WGC Accenture Matchplay Fantasy Golf Picks

This week features the first WGC event of 2008, the WGC Accenture World Matchplay Championship. As this is a matchplay event the rules are slightly different. We still have 6 head-2-head matchups for you but because of the knockout format, the winner is decided by who advances the furthest. This then begs the question ”what happens if both players are knocked out in the same round?” This is decided by the players’ opponents’ ranking, with the player who was defeated by the highest ranked opponent the winner. For example, lets say Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods are both defeated in the first round. Tiger plays 65th ranked J.B Holmes while Phil plays higher ranked (58)Pat Perez. Phil would win that matchup. Bets also close on Wednesday so make sure you make your picks early.

This Weeks Fantasy Golf Picks are:

Match 1: Tiger Wood Vs Phil Mickelson, on opposite sides of the draw, Phil coming off a win at Reviera and Tiger looking to go 3-3 in 2008.

Match 2 : Rory Sabbatini Vs Ian Poulter will go head to head to see who can come up with the next best quote about bringing down Tiger

Match 3: Pits Sergio Garcia against Adam Scott, maybe the two best players never to have won a major, and at the very least two hits for the chicks

Match 4: Padraig Harrington Vs Luke Donald

Match 5: Another European Justin Rose against Vijay Singh

Match 6: Tigers boxing bag Ernie Else goes against last years winner Henrik Stenson

Remember these players may not necessarily face each other, its who advances the furthest.

Super 6 Fantasy Golf Pre-Finish Results

The AT&T at Pebble Beach matchup players have overall failed to perform. Here are some results in already:

Matchup 1 was a bit of a surprise with Mickelson missing the cut. Weir is T45 after the third round but it doesn't matter how he finishes and takes this match.

Match 2 ft two former world number 1's Greg Norman and David Duval saw them both miss the cut but Norman wins with his 3 round total of 225 being 3 better than Duvals.

Match 3 is also over with Corey Pavin currenty T26 and Chris Dimarco missing the cut.

Match 4 goes the same way with Jim Furyk, currently T26, winning his matchup over Hunter Mahan after Hunter shoots 75-72-73 to miss the cut.

Match 5 is the only match still alive but we're calling that before it finishes. Vijay is currently tied for the lead with Justin Leonard 8 shots back. We'll hold until tomorrow to release the results justin case though...

Match 6 saw both players miss the cut again with Tim Clarks 219 good enough to take down Steve Elkington by 4.

That's 8 of the 12 players missing the cut and only player, Vijay Singh in contention!. We better choose more carefully our next Fantasy Golf Picks. All the big names excluding Tiger are at the NOrthern Trust Open at Riviera so get in make your picks.

Northern Trust Open Super 6 Fantasy Golf Matchups

I'm heading out of here for some golf video training early next week so am posting the Super 6 Matchups for The Northern Trust Open now. They'll be online and available for your picks and bets at the conclusion of the AT&T. The Northern Trust Open being played at Riviera has pretty much all the big names excluding that fella named Tiger.

Fantasy Golf Matchup 1 features the thunder from downunder with Adam Scott going up against Aaron Baddeley. Baddley easily defeated Scott in last years event,

Fantasy Golf Matchup 2 sees two past US Open Champions Angel Cabrera vs Geoff Ogilvy. last year Cabrera misses the cut and Ogilvy finished in the middle of the field. This'll be a close one.

Fantasy Golf Matchup 3 sees the two large hitting lefties Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson. Mickelson came 2nd last year with Big Bubba missing the cut, but Bubba's game seems to have gotten a lot better

Fantasy Golf Matchup 4 pits Sergio Garcia against KJ Choi. Sergio is always a bit unpredictable and Choi is as solid as he's built. Sergio finished T6 while KJ Choi T22 last year but I'm going for Choi this year.

Fantasy Golf Matchup 5 features media favourites Rory Sabbatini up against the struggling Vijay Singh. Sabbatini won last years matchup.

The final matchup sees last years winner Charles Howell III go head to head with Jim Furyk. Jim's had mixed results this year but finished tied for 3rd last year so this one could be the toughest pick.

get in there on monday and make your picks, we've got some sweet prizes for the overall winner.

Peace Out

Ernie Suffers Another Case of Tigerlitis

I once read a story...yes I did...can't remember exactly how it went but Tiger had once again beaten Ernie a few years back and was overheard saying something to this effect "now i hope this &#^#^# goes away and stays away". I think this was actually a compliment at the time because Ernie posed the biggest threat at the time. Poor Ernie, you can't blame the poor bugger, he's been beaten in every way possible by Tiger and had the unfortunate luck to be paired with Tiger at the 200 US Open when Tiger went whompo and won by 15. His latest performance at Dubai just proves the point that everyone on Tour is really playing for second. Everyone laughed at Earl Woods' comments about his son when he first turned Pro but they're proving to be an understatement. The best way we can sum everything up is what Wayne Gretzky said in Tigers DVD and that is that Tiger will go down as the greatest athlete to ever live. He also added (after the TigerSlam) that Tiger's best years are still in front of him and he still has another level. Think we might be seeing that now although lets wait and see until after 2 majors of 2008.

About This Golf Blog

I was ordered by Condoleezza Slice, Queen of The Slice Girls, to start this blog, which, (some may hope) will be the blog to end all blogs. I have to admit this blog probably won't lower your score by 5 strokes, in fact, you'll play worse if you come back to read this everyday. I also have to say that in this golf blog, you won't find the latest golf news or equipment, there's way too many better golf blogs for that. Occasionally we think up some totally awesome ideas and they don't even go down in this blog. We actually started a video podcast, which reminds me, I recently read that something like 99% of all podcasts have only 1 subscriber. I can vouch for this fact as our podcast has 1 subscriber, which just so happens to be myself. Strange really since our videos have been downloaded over 500,00 times. Anyway, I will start writing something useful here very soon, which I bet you can't wait for. No matter, it's all good at golfuncut.com and at the very least we're now 1st page on google for "golf videos". We're so glad google is not human. Is it?

Entourage Rooftop Golf

When you'rd done watching all 100 golf videos on golfuncut.com, hop on over to HBO's Entourage website. If you haven't seen it, Entourage is the only TV program worth watching. They now have a sweet little online game called Entourage Rooftop Golf.

Check it here homie: www.hbo.com/entourage/games/index.html

You might get so addicted you never come back for our golf videos.

Thailand Golf Course Video Reviews

The Slice Girls golf video presenters are currently mud wrestling for who is going to present the new Thailand golf course videos. We're currently selecting the golf courses and putting the final touches on the scripts and the final cuts should be out within 6 weeks. These are the first golf video reviews for any golf course in Thailand and are actually the first golf video series featuring golf course reviews in Asia. "They're gonna be frickin awesome" said Slice Girl Jessica Albatross, "If I had one, I'd give my left nut to be the lead golf video presenter for these golf videos" she continued. The release date will be available in Golf Uncuts occasional newsletter - The Sweet Spot.

It's All Good

Dubai Desert Classic Super 6 Fantasy Golf Matchup Results

Only one tournament to go in the Super 6 Fantasy Golf Game 1. The Dubai Desert Classics featured matchup was Tiger Woods Vs The Field, with Tiger coming from behind to win that one. Match 2 saw Garcia up against Els and as usual Garcia was in the mix in the mix but fell away during the weekend. I think he must get totally wasted on Friday and Saturday nights. Els blew the lead but not his matchup against Sergio. Westwood is in good form right now and he easily defeated buddie Darren Clarke to take match 3. Montgomerie gets Tiger Wood and did well to stay in touch with the great one when paired with him the first couple of days and in doing so won his matchup against Paul Lawrie, who has more major than Monty. The 5th matchup was interesting featuring last years champion Henrik Stenson who competed for 3 days before fading on Sunday, but he still outlasted his matchup Ian Poulter, who swears he's not a prat. The last matchup produced no excitement with Jean Van De Velde beating Migel Angel Jimenez, although Jimenez did make a hole in one on day 1, or day 2, can't remember which. The AT&T is next up and it's a bit of anti-climax to the first game of Fantasy Golf since there isn't too much star power there outside Mickelson. Still we have some interesting matchups so make your picks and get ready for Game 2!

And He Will Strike Down Upon Thee With Great Vengeance

Seems anyone coming out to get up all up in Tigers biznezz is destined for um, not greatness.

Stephen Ames before his match against Tiger at the 96 Accenture Matchplay "Anything can happen, especially where he's hitting it" The Result, Tiger closes him out 9 and 8 and who's heard of Ames name on a leaderboard since?

Rory Sabbatini "The funny thing is, I think he's as beatable as ever". Sabbatini hasn't won a head-to-head since, lost his contract with Nike (coincidence?) and now must be the most hated golfer bar none, if he wasn't already.

Even Buddie Mark O'Meara gets it now. Before the Buick Invitational O'Meara stated that Anthony Kim had a better golf swing at 22 than Tiger. O'Meara finished last of players that made the cut and Kim missed the cut.

And of course the latest being Ian Poulter, who has tried to convince the media his comments were taken out of context. "There will only be me and Tiger Woods when I reach my full potential" Poulter could be far enough away to avoid the full impact of a Tiger challenge.

Please, please, let your clubs do the talking ala Vijay Singh and David Duval, the only two players to hold the number 1 ranking during the Woods era.
