Great White North Golf Blogs
There are a few golf blogs up in the Great White North (aka Canada). What’s that all aboot aye?
Of course most of us know Robert Thompson and his Going for the Green golf blog. Robert is one of the first golf bloggers. For some reason right now there is an error and I can’t expand his blog to read it. I hope it’s temporary.
The Illogical Golf Blog has been going since December 2005, posting “Illogical thoughts and ramblings from a few golfing idiots.”
“Can a weekend duffer simply take lessons and practice enough to become a pro?” The Going Pro blog is quite an experiment and intends to answer that very question. A guy who calls himself a regular “duffer” is trying to see if a teaching professional can coach him up to the pro ranks.
Here are his stats:
Years Playing: 7
Driving Distance: 190 yards
150 yard club: 6 iron
Clubs: 7 year old PING ZINGS 2
Ball: Whatever I find
Swing Speed: slow
I’d have to say he has no chance at the PGA Tour. Heck his driver goes as far as my 6 iron and I’m a hack compared to a tour player. He does have the chance to become a good golfer during the process though and I think that is the real point.
Will Ben Curtis ever validate his British Open win?
Aim low.
This week’s Booze Allen Classic first round had nearly 50 players in the field shoot in the 60’s. So much for last week’s U.S. Open playing conditions. We’re back to the dart game. Aim low sheriff, aim low.
Ben Curtis
Ben Curtis has the first round lead with a 9 under 62. This man has game no doubt, but I wonder if he has the mental strength to win on tour regularly. Though this isn’t a strong field with most of the big guns resting after The U.S. Open, a victory for Ben would silence some skeptics. I’m one of those skeptics.

Smarter than I thought…
If you listen to the show I did with AOL Sports Bloggers Live before the U.S. OPEN last week I predicted that Tiger would not do well. When asked to pick a lesser known player to win I said “Though his stats don’t show it, Geoff Ogilvy has the game to win here and I think he’ll win some major championships down the line…”
Damn was that me? 🙂 (pat’s himself on back).
