POR OLD HARRY!

Disaster has struck.
I best point out it has nothing to do with my first round of the year being derailed by continuously knocking the ball out of bounds on the eighth, or that I have an overdraft larger than the budget deficit or even the fact I've just finished my last jeroboam of Bollinger.
The Irish Girl is moving in!
Okay it's more a personal than global crisis but it's still very...

After eight weeks playing in Hawaii, California and Arizona the PGA Tour moves to the East Coast.
For the fourth consecutive year the Champions Course at the PGA National is the host course for this week's Honda Classic. Each year it has ranked in the top 10 most difficult courses on Tour and Padraig Harrington described it as " big tough golf course - one of the toughest on Tour."
The winn...

I've visited my fair share of stadia so far this year including The Wanderers, Sun Life Stadium and last night the San Siro.
There was a pretty lively atmosphere at The Wanderers for the Fourth Test match thanks to the Barmy Army and the South African supporters who couldn't be described as shy and retiring types.
Mind you they didn't get anywhere near filling the 34,000 seats on offer and...

Pebble Beach truly is a special place and it is difficult to think of a better golfing venue. The views are breathtaking and when the sun sets it stirs one's poetic nature.
'This royal throne of golfing kings, this sceptered peninsula, this place of majesty, this other Eden, demi-paradise. A happy breed of golfer in this little world, this precious stone set in the silver bay, the envy of less...

SEVEN DEADLY SINS
02-02-2010 21:09
While enjoying the Ten Deadly Sins breakfast at Simpsons Hotel on the Strand and perusing the latest issue of Viz, which I had cunningly hidden inside my copy of the Times, I almost choked on a lamb's kidney reading of Suicidal Sid's latest demise at the hands of Tiger Woods.
To be factually accurate Sid was run over by Woods with Elin chasing behind with a golf club! If you'd told me just two...

THE BEST-LAID PLANS...

Scotland's 18th Century bard Robert Burns once said: "The best-laid plans of mice and men go oft astray."
On Monday my day off and tickets to watch the final session of the cricket were exchanged for a lunchtime flight from Joburg to Abu Dhabi and a few holes at the Royal Kensington and Johannesburg Golf Club's West Course.
Just as we started the horn sounded to stop play but my caddie Edd...

After a promising start to the days play in the cricket, where I had the pleasure of watching our boys take two early wickets, the England team struggled and now have an almost impossible task in trying to save the fourth Test match and win the series.
The situation was eerily similar and little better at the golf where at various points early in the third round two Englishmen (David Lynn and...

Having a driver is a luxury to which I could be become accustomed, especially after we pulled away from the Clubhouse yesterday leaving a group of slightly irate players including Chris Wood waiting around in a mini-van.
Alex posed me a very tricky question on the way home. What do you prefer Cricket or Golf? It is a difficult question bearing in mind I've purchased both a Joburg Open 2010 and...

Last weekend I stayed up and cheered on Geoff Ogilvy in Hawaii as he put in another very impressive performance, particularly on and around the greens, which also put some well needed Rand in my bank account.
Before you write in with accusations of 'after timing' I did mention in my last blog of 2009 that Kapalua 'could be a good opportunity for Geoff Ogilvy to get off to another fast start.'...
