very specail golf course at at Talis Park Golf Club


It was 2003 and Stewart’s job was to work with the famous golfers as they created the course.

Witt said Stewart is also skilled at making people happy.

Stewart, the head of golf at Talis Park, said it was an amazing experience to be part of the beginning of such a special golf course.

After the course was done, Stewart Taylormade R11 driver turned his attention to personal customer service. The community, which was owned by WCI, then a foreign bank and now Kitson and Partners, currently has only 30 homes and only about 70 golf members.

Stewart said that even when Talis Park is built out at 585 homes, he plans to maintain that personal touch with each golfer. This will be possible because he’s not a general manager who sits in an office. He’s out there helping his staff do everything from wipe tables to prepare drinks for golfers as they come off the course.

“It was taking a piece of land that was nothing and turning it into what Talis Park is today,” Stewart said.

Stewart said he loves golf because it’s an opportunity to be around people and enjoy the game with others. While he only gets to play once every two weeks now, he still loves the sport and his job.

“He’s totally involved in the club and all aspects of the club,” said Dave Witt, director of golf. “He’ll be the first to jump in and clear tables or make a Bloody Mary when golfers come in for lunch.”

“Pete Dye and Greg Norman, they flew in Pete’s helicopter and landed right here,” Stewart said as he pointed to Taylormade R11 irons the Talis Park golf course. “I would pick up sandwiches at Subway and we would sit by the helicopter and eat and discuss plans. It was unbelievable. Then Greg and Pete would jump in my truck and we would drive around.”

“He always has the ability to tell somebody no and they would still walk away happy,” Witt said.

“Our uniqueness is all our guys know everybody’s first and last name and their children and their pets,” Stewart said. “It gives us a more personal ability.”

Stewart, 53, began playing golf when he was discount golf clubs just five years old. His dad was a scratch golfer, and he originally learned from his father. He played golf in high school and after graduating from Texas Tech, went on to the golf academy in California. He is also a member of the PGA.

Blue Valley won 6A golf crown


It took a few holes for Yates, who signed with Missouri-St. Louis, to find his putting stroke, but when everything finally clicked, it turned into an impressive runaway win, including a 45-foot downhill chip-in from 2 yards off the green on No. 16.

It wasn’t the same kind of Taylormade R11 irons course either as the regional meet, and the winds were blowing today,” BV North coach Susan O’Dell said. “It was probably pretty steady at 25 or 30 miles per hour, and it came in earlier than expected. It died off a little in the afternoon, but not that much. It was probably still at least 15 miles per hour.”

It feels great to bring it home on our home course,” Pirates coach Ryan McCarty said. “We battled with them all year long and it came down to 1 shot today. Even though it was only 1 stroke, it feels good to get them. The kids had a lot of pressure playing on our home course, and they stepped up.”

I’m ecstatic for the kids,” said O’Dell, who will retire from teaching after 32 years but will coach the golf team one more season. “They’ve worked hard and just couldn’t get over that last hurdle. We’ve been talking all year about finishing strong and staying focused. These guys finished about as strong as any team I’ve ever seen. They finished strong at league, regionals and were strong again today.”

Still, the Mustangs were mighty impressive, firing a collective 300 and winning state for the first time since 1993. BV West was runner-up at 315, and third-place Shawnee Mission East was at 316.

You think about winning a state title, but you never think it will happen to you,” Yates said. “You figure you’ll always be the second- or third-place guy, but you’ll never get it done. But I finally got Taylormade R11 driver done today and it feels great.”

Despite an abysmal start, senior Zach Tate, who has signed with Drury, capped his Mustangs career with a 1-over 73 for the individual gold medal.

Follow BV North senior, Ross Thornton, who signed with Colorado, tied for the second-lowest round at 74 with SM Northwest’s Jackson Foth.

No team handled the conditions quite as well as BV North, which placed four golfers among the top seven individually.

Mustangs sophomore Evan Shartzer shot a 76 and finished alone in fourth place, and junior Alex Higgs wound up seventh after a six-way tie for the fifth-best round (77) played out.

He found himself 4 over through five discount golf clubs holes and wasn’t able to make up any ground halfway through his round. But Tate played the first six hole on the back nine in 5 under par before a double bogey at No. 16 — a long hole into the teeth of the wind.

75th anniversary for Anoka’s Green Haven Golf Course



The third golf course in the area was the L.O. Jacob Golf Course, or “Jake’s Course,” as it was affectionately called by some. That course stood where Mississippi Elementary School now stands.

Pease said Green Haven was built on the Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons sand plain on the western side of the city of Anoka “where some people said no golf course could ever be built.”

Anoka’s first golf course was located on property now known as Goodrich Field with the first tee in the neighborhood of the entrance of the Anoka junior high school on Fourth Avenue. Several fairways crossed each other “making for an interesting, but very hazardous layout,” Pease wrote.

Anoka High School’s boys’ and girls’ golf teams practice at Green Haven, and the course hosts several annual tournaments including the Celebrate Anoka Golf Tournament, the Past Presidents Tournament, the Halloween Tournament, the Tournament of Champions and the Club Championship.

“This course was popularized by many of the good golfers of the area and the first Anoka Men’s Golf Club was formed here,” Pease wrote.

After reviewing more than 100 entries, the Name the Course committee chose the name Green Haven, a name submitted by Clara Wickstrom, “who was also a very fine golfer,” according to Arch Pease.

But golf wasn’t the only diversion practiced on the property. There were grounds for lawn bowling, an area set aside callaway razr x irons for trap and skeet shooting, and a rifle and pistol range where the 18th fairway is now.

“All of the other golf courses didn’t show up until the ‘60s and ‘70s. If you played golf, this was the place,” Norland said.

Of course, Green Haven also entices its hometown golfers to the links.

Among established groups golfing at Green Haven Golf Course is the Men’s Club, established in 1928 and boasting some 275 members.

But sure enough it was built and as the new course neared completion, a Name the Course Contest was announced with a season’s free play awarded to the lucky winner.

“At its peak there were something like 400 members and it was an exclusive club, requiring recommendation and an initiation fee before you could join,” Norland said.

Golfing at Green Haven carries rich discount golf clubs history steeped in tradition, and since Green Haven opened back in 1937, the fairways and greens have welcomed golfers from miles beyond the historic city where it rests.

There are also two Ladies Clubs, the morning club with a more competitive flair to it, and the evening club for the more relaxed lady golfers.

it was Fowler's turn this time



"I didn't want to play it safe," Fowler said. "I had a good number (133 yards), and I was aiming right of the hole with the wind coming out of the right, and if I hit a perfect shot, it comes down right on the stick. ... I hit a perfect shot at the right time, and I was going for it."

McIlroy established himself on the same green two years ago, a 20-year-old who closed out a record 62 by making a 40-foot putt for his first PGA Tour win, and the biggest of his career until adding a record-breaking U.S. Open title last summer at Congressional.

"I didn't want to play it safe," Fowler said. "I had a good number (133 yards), and I was aiming right of the hole with the wind coming out of the right, and if I hit a perfect shot, it comes down Titleist 712 AP1 Irons right on the stick. ... I hit a perfect shot at the right time, and I was going for it."

Fowler stuffed his shot into 4 feet for a birdie on the first extra hole to beat McIlroy and D.A. Points and win the Wells Fargo Championship on Sunday. It was his first PGA Tour win in his 67th start as a pro, bringing him a small measure of relief and a big dose of credibility.

Fowler stuffed his shot into 4 feet for a birdie on the first extra hole to beat McIlroy and D.A. Points and win the Wells Fargo Championship on Sunday. It was his first PGA Tour win in his 67th start as a pro, bringing him a small measure of relief and a big dose of credibility.

For all his endorsements and marketing prowess, Fowler was starting to hear whispers about when he was going to win. What carried him along was patience and impeccable manners, which have Titleist 712 AP2 Irons  made him a favorite among his peers.

"I'm over the top," his mother said, fighting back tears. "I'm relieved for him because this is an expectation from the people, the fans, the tournament staff directors. And now he can hopefully carry on and do the work that he likes to do."

Ryan Moore, who played in the final group with Simpson, didn't make a birdie until the 15th hole and shot 74. He tied for fifth with Lee Westwood (66) and Ben Curtis (67), who finished before the leaders got to the back nine.

"I think it was just a matter of time before he won," McIlroy said. "It seems like this tournament produces first-time winners -- Anthony Kim, myself, now Rickie. It's great to see. He probably has went discount golf clubs through a little bit of scrutiny and a lot of pressure trying to get that first win. But now that win is out of the way. Hopefully, that will ease the pressure a little bit."

Tiger needs to change his swing





During a week in which he went only 2 under on the par-5s, the four-time Masters champion was haunted by his old swing, the one crafted by a man who had just released a tell-all book about their six-year relationship. You could see Tiger's frustrated attempts to fight off the last vestiges of Hank Haney's lessons. Woods' swing coach, Sean Foley, could be there on the range to try to correct those old habits, but he couldn't be on the golf course in the thick of things when his player had to hit real shots.

Woods is playing in his first tournament since that Masters disappointment this week at Quail Hollow. On Monday, he took questions from his fans via social media. He said he had resolved the swing issues that plagued him in Augusta.

"At the Masters, I was kind of struggling with my ballstriking a little bit," Woods said. "Sean and I fixed it. It had to do with posture. My setup wasn't quite right, as well as my takeaway, so we worked on that."

Alec Wilkinson, a longtime New Yorker contributor, had the late jazz bassist Jimmy Garrison as his faculty TaylorMade R11S Driver adviser when he was a student at Bennington College in the early 1970s. Wilkinson once heard the former John Coltrane quartet member say: "First you have to learn all about your instrument, then you have to learn all about music, then you have to forget it all and learn how to play."

"If he ever asked me what I thought he needed to do, I'd tell him, look, go on the practice tee without anybody -- without me, without Sean, without Haney, without a camera, and start hitting golf shots," Harmon said. "Hit some high draws, some low draws, high fades, low fades, move the ball up and down, move it around; don't worry about how you do it and go back to feeling it again."

But Woods has to come to this realization on his own. The more weight he puts on his swing, the farther he gets from finding the real answers to his problems. He doesn't need me to tell him the importance of the mental game -- no one has had a better mind game over the years than Woods -- but I think he's being dishonest with himself to deny that his confidence as a player and a person has been shaken over the years by his injuries and personal travails and disappointments in big tournaments.

Even Jack Nicklaus, who has mostly praised the man trying to break his record of 18 majors, has questioned Tiger's mental game since the Masters.

Tiger won at Quail Hollow in 2007 and he loves the course. It's possible that it's true he has indeed "fixed" his swing, but he's never going to find that mythical perfect swing or some major resolution about his game by winning this week, as long as he takes the perspective that his issues lie primarily with his swing.

Tiger won at Quail Hollow in 2007 and he loves the course. It's possible that it's true he has indeed "fixed" his swing, but he's never going to find that mythical perfect swing or some major Taylormade Rocketballz Irons resolution about his game by winning this week, as long as he takes the perspective that his issues lie primarily with his swing.

I know Foley wants this for Tiger. No good teacher worth his salt wants his player standing over the ball in a pressure situation with a million swing thoughts running through his head.

Perhaps the golf swing has become a convenient way to deflect attention from some of the larger issues in his life. During Masters week, I heard another reporter say of Woods: "It must be hard for him to play well carrying around all that anger."

"I don't know what goes [on] between his ears," Nicklaus said. "That's really the X factor. His golf game and his golf swing look pretty similar to what I've been looking at and he hits a lot of discount golf clubs great shots. But you never know what's going on in somebody's head."

Yet thanks to the PGA Tour, Woods has a tournament this week at Quail Hollow to try to make amends for his embarrassing performance at the Masters. He can answer all of his critics who say he's done or he can affirm the predictions of his believers who say he'll make it back to No. 1 in the world.

Bubba Watson will play in Zurich Classic of New Orleans


Tournament organizers in New Orleans, euphoric that their defender was wearing the Green Jacket, must have gone into a state of apoplexy when they heard that.

Not to worry.

"I'm going to go back to New Orleans and defend my title there," Bubba said into the camera when asked about his next tournament.

When it was over, probably even before that, all he wanted to do was get home to his wife, Angie, and their newly adopted 1-year-old son, Caleb, in Florida.

"It will be the first time we will be home together by ourselves," the 33-year-old Watson said.

It was only for two days, but Bubba Titleist 712 AP1 Irons took New York, sort of like the British army in 1776.

All they had to do was tune into Late Show With David Letterman to learn that Watson hadn't made other plans.

During interviews, he was folksy, funny and charming, never seeming to tire of the attention he said he never has pursued.

When President Obama got through to Watson on his cell phone, the nonplussed Bubba greeted him with: "What's up, bud?" before switching gears quickly and saying, "I mean, Mr. President."

After Piers Morgan of CNN asked if he thought Augusta National should admit women as members, Watson gave a political answer before turning the question around on his host.

When Bubba was asked on one show what he knows about finance, he said with yet another smile: "I know the government is going to take a lot of my check."

"I love Waffle House," he said. "A grilled cheese from Waffle House and hash browns."

Within hours after Watson whipped a Titleist 712 AP2 Irons 40-yard hook shot out of the trees to beat Louis Oosthuizen in a playoff at Augusta National, Bubba was asked on Twitter if he still was going to defend in New Orleans.

"It was very special," Tebow said. "He didn't have to do anything like that. He's just an amazing guy. He's been so supportive of me and my foundation."

When Letterman asked Watson to describe his personal style and approach to golf, he paused before flashing his goofy smile and said: "Awesome."

Watson will get the chance to meet Obama later this month because CBS has invited Bubba to be its guest at the White discount golf clubs House Correspondents dinner.

After Morgan said the green jackets should "just get over themselves," Bubba quipped: "I know who's not going to be a member — you."

Bubba has charmed people almost everywhere he has gone except in Paris, where he created a public-relations nightmare for his handlers in a disastrous trip to play in the Alstom Open de France last year.

Bubba was back in Florida on the weekend for the Tim Tebow Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic at TPC Sawgrass and had a present for the quarterback, who recently joined the New York Jets. Watson gave Tebow his player badge from the Masters, which oddly enough bore No. 15, Tebow's jersey number.

2012年4月6日星期五

It turned out the first time Westwood has led following your opening round of an major, though which was little comfort. Louis Oosthuizen made four birdies over the past five holes to get a 68, while Peter Hanson of Sweden made six birdies for his 68. Bubba Watson, blasting tee shots along with his pink driver, was among six players at 69.

Westwood had said it might be naive for anybody to think this major only agreed to be about Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Woods took two penalty shots, hit three tee shots that rattled the pines and was thrilled to create bogey on his last ping g15 driver hole for the 72, the very first time since 2008 that he did not break par inside the opening round with the Masters.

McIlroy opened with a double bogey, though his big moment was for the 10th hole. A year ago, that is where his Sunday collapse began with a hooked tee shot into the cabins for any triple bogey. On this occasion, he pushed a 3-wood in the trees on the reverse side and managed par.

"That would have been a bit of a noticable difference from your last time I played it," McIlroy said.

Even better was a birdie-birdie finish, such as a 15-foot putt in the fringe about the 18th that gave him a 71, making them one of 28 players who broke par and were within four shots of the lead.

"It was huge," McIlroy said. "I didn't think that I needed my best available. To end under par for the entire day, I'm happy."

Along with Woods smiling after a 72, three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson was delighted with a 74. He sprayed tee shots everywhere in the course, including one up to now left about the 10th into bushes he didn't know existed which he never found his ball. Mickelson made a Titleist 712 CB Irons triple bogey there, then spent the rest of the back nine scrambling for his life.

He recounted every one of the bad shots, the missed opportunities, the triple bogey, and decided the glass was half full, almost spilling over.

"This is nice news," Mickelson said. "Because basically could possibly get hot tomorrow, I'm playing good enough to shoot Six or seven under, and I'm going to be in it to the weekend. Fortunately, I didn't shoot myself from it."

Luke Donald, no. 1 player on the globe, a few nervous moments, which was after he signed to get a 75. When his card was shipped to the scoring room to get entered into your computer, the state run accidentally punched inside a birdie 3 for that fifth hole, even though Donald three-putted for any 5. The leaderboard showed him having a 73.

"This place, a high level little bit off, it could eat you up," Donald said.

Donald and Westwood include the only two players being No. 1 without ever after winning a significant. Westwood is atop the list of the most useful who have never won a wonderful Slam event ?a 36 wins around the world, formerly No. One out of the world plus a half-dozen close calls inside the majors, including a runner-up finish in the Masters 2 yrs ago.

"I've come near," Westwood said. "I've won all there exists to win other than an important championship. That's my primary discount golf clubs focus and it's really been quite a long time coming around because the PGA recently."

Westwood made his move on top nine as he ran off four straight birdies, these inside 10 feet, including a difficult pitch from less than the par-5 eighth green that settled within tap-in range.

Broadacres Golf Club reopened now

Stewart, the sole Democrat around the five-person board, recently pushed to close Broadacres and has stated publicly that Orangetown can't spend the money for cost of running tweaking two money-losing golf courses.

Broadacres lost $312,000 a year ago. The location also operates the 27-hole Blue Hill course in Pearl River, which ran a deficit of $438,000.

A product to close the greens was Taylormade Rocketballz Irons discussed for about an hour after a workshop meeting March 22, with all the four Republicans around the board expressing various examples of opposition.

Speaking at Thursday's Town Board meeting, Denis Troy said he left the workshop believing a consensus ended up reached: keep Broadacres open for the remainder of 2012 while considering closing it annually or two.

Troy complained he and other Town Board members were blindsided by a message Stewart sent a couple of days later. The e-mail apparently repeated Stewart's want to close the course and laid off its employees.

It was obviously a done deal. A minimum of from my perspective,Troy said, drawing a smattering of applause from an overflow crowd at Town Hall.

Stewart apologized for the email, which he said he had written late into the evening and was created for internal feedback, less plans item.

I'm not sure what I was thinking while i wrote that, Stewart said, jokingly blaming the mixup on the little devil on his shoulder.

Board member Paul Valentine credited Stewart for thinking beyond your box and said town will ultimately ought to decide how to deal with Broadacres.

However, not everyone on the meeting was as complimentary.

At some part, Stewart sparred with callaway razr x irons board member Thomas Diviny within the savings projected by his office. The savings come, in part, through the idea that the $87,000 salary of a town groundskeeper can be shifted from the Broadacres payroll and onto Blue Hill's budget.

Stewart states Orangetown would save $45,000 by closing Broadacres, while Diviny claims the city stands to lose some $90,000 as soon as the groundskeeper position is budgeted.

I don't wish to head to (a) county dance i don't want to do-si-do, Diviny thought to Stewart. I just want that you be truthful concerning the numbers.

Stewart responded by saying Diviny was incorrect understanding that the price savings would fluctuate weight loss details are gathered.

Numerous Orangetown residents passionately defended maintaining another, smaller course.

Tiger Woods is heading to the Masters confidently

Woods turned a precarious one-stroke lead entering Sunday's final round in the Arnold Palmer Invitational right into a five-stroke statement for his first PGA Tour win because the BMW Championship in September 2009. That victory came 8 weeks before any small car accident, at his home only miles because of this Bay Hill course, which turned into one of the primary sports scandals of all time. A Pandora's Box of past philandering and poor behavior opened for your world to find out, and Woods' reputation was permanently besotted. He won six tournaments earlier that year, however in the insular world of the sport he played, there were both whispers and shouts that the imperturbable assassin of Sundays never is the same.

After making a final putt through the day on 18, Woods doffed his cap, grinned wide and waved with a swell of cheers. With what was the only real poignant moment from the late afternoon came as Woods was greeted not by Arnold Palmer as is customary following this tournament but by the golf legend's manager, Alistair Johnston. Palmer had been come to a local hospital following a spike as part of his hypertension. Johnston hugged Woods and told him this news. Woods nodded. Johnston then told Yahoo! Sports that Palmer hasn't been feeling so well for a couple of days,but was thrilled to determine Woods' victory. Later, in a very short press conference, Johnston said Palmer can be held overnight knowning that his condition was improving.

There were a clear turning point in Woods' final round a moment of grave concern. Also it came early. For the second green, Woods mishit a 28-foot lag putt and left himself a difficult 5-footer. We were holding the putts he always used to make in final rounds. Especially on Sunday. Especially on this course on Sunday, when they have won three times for the 72nd green.

Even though the gallery and his caddie moved ahead to a higher tee, Woods prearranged the putt again devoid of the ball. He stared on the hole for the good five seconds. He then stormed off. So when he approached the 3rd tee, his eyes were wide and unblinking in shock. He looked spooked.

The following is in which the old Tiger would win control of his emotions and his game. This is the location where the new Tiger might spiral. Who would we have seen on Sunday? The person who entered this event 37-2 as he had the outright lead after 54 holes? Or the man who had lost control over his driver and couldn?¡¥t make the clutch putt each time a round relied on it?

But around the very next hole, up against a hard iron shot over water having a strong wind crossing from the fairway, Woods dropped the ball within five feet of the hole. He earned birdie to get that lost shot right back. On his walk to another tee, he discrete a tremendous breath of air.

When the rope birdied Nos. 4, 6, and 8 to end leading nine using a four-shot lead. Around the back, the true secret moment came for the 15th green, when playing partner Graeme McDowell a birdie putt and Woods had 20 feet just to save par. The four-shot lead might have dropped to 2 with three holes to play.

Golf in Ontario is in difficulity

The very last element to satisfy the physical conditions from the golf exemption could be the holding of an public meeting. The population meeting will be advertised in a newspaper and all sorts of inhabitants living within 100 meters of the golf course have to be personally invited on the public meeting. For a facility like mine this meeting will not really strike fear as we have six neighbors. There are numerous of courses in Metropolitan Toronto (population about 4 million) who have up to 350-500 dwellings inside prescribed 100 meter zone as well as the chance of environmental activists. With fire codes of clubhouses and potential member participation many of these clubs may have to rent away from the club to support the numbers. High are at least two clubs I realize of this is going to do around 2-3 separate ping g15 irons meetings in one night to meet the guideline. The OGSA along with Croplife Canada have produced an informational video that highlights the positive great things about golf being presented the night time of the public meeting. The OGSA has created a guideline for managing a successful ending up in the hopes that member clubs follows these for symmetry in the industry. Essentially, the meeting could be the reading from the annual report and fielding potential questions.

For now the exemption is at place until 2013. At that point Ontario's Secretary of state for the planet (MOE) will evaluate the program and advance from there. There exists somewhere inside the neighborhood of 1,300 golf facilities in Ontario. It appears a bit farfetched at this point to consider that every will certainly fall depending on the legislation (below 40 percent participation, to date). As there are one small club that I am aware of that, based on the costs to be inside the IPM program ($905/season together with $85 agent fee), have decided to stop using pesticides. They provided their membership aware of the thing that was coming plus they essentially deal with the problems that arise.

The golf industry in Ontario has lived through the very first phases of the exemption. For many of my colleagues in other Canadian provinces such as Bc, that has always been an extremely political province I fear the us government will almost certainly tennis ball so the book at golf. A good the NAGA in Bc will hopefully allow cooler heads to taylormade burner superfast 2.0 driver prevail. And as the chips discover two provinces, it isn't destined to be long before others can have an IPM program to do business with.

We've always based my maintenance by using an IPM program with all the environment and robust stewardship at the fore. So falling in line with this new IPM program has become basic and difficult all in the same breath. Be simple part may be the spraying aspect, even as don't spray a lot and use other method of fighting disease at the same time. The harder difficult aspects include the reports and work to complete annual reports and paperwork now take me more than 70 hours to complete. The in-season scouting discount golf clubs reports will take up to a couple of hours to finish because of the follow-up and cross-referencing with spray applications. This system takes many superintendents from the golf course and putting them behind a desk. Nevertheless the Ontario government, no matter that is in power, is not likely to eliminate this pesticide ban. And then we grin and bear it and trudge with the paperwork and fulfill the stringent guidelines set upon us given it has been worse. In fact, it may have been much worse.

Mahan was the sleeper story of the week

You could argue Rory's romp at Congressional sated which need. Fair enough, but it's a new year. It's time for new accomplishments. A conquer Mahan will mean McIlroy would vault Luke Donald for your No. 1 ranking added whipped cream, nuts along with a maraschino with a potential Sunday sundae of goodness.

Now how to describe McIlroy's seventh and eighth holes on Sunday, as he made double bogey from the center of the fairway after which couldn't make the most of a Mahan three-putt making bogey? Those two lost holes were the difference.

Mahan was the sleeper story every week. The first week at Dove Mountain centered on Sergio garcia neglecting to get rid of the other Titleist MB 710 Forged Irons round, or No. 64-seeded Ernie Els toppling top-seeded Luke Donald. And then, focus now use the impending Lee-Rory smackdown. Hunter Mahan? Scant attention was paid to the PING-hatted, shades-sporting, goatee-wearing guy who had the trustworthiness of a majors-free ball-striker who won't rock your world throughout the greens. Actually, NBC thought we would roll film of Mahan's Chili Dip Heard ??Round the globe from Celtic Manor equally as he was set to chip from off the green in Sunday's final round.

Mahan is now No. 9 in the world rankings, and was gracious about McIlroy afterward, saying Rory is the best player on the globe today, definitely.(Somewhere in Chicago, Luke Donald had a minion fax a state World Golf Rankings to Mahan.)

Mahan showed a battle, a battle that has been impressive. When McIlroy closed from 4-down to 2-down, Mahan never buckled, even though Johnny Miller Ping K15 fairway wood suggested on-air: I gotta believe Hunter's knees are gonna start a-knockin. Nope. Birdies on Nos. 10, 11, 13 and 15 made sure the only knockin' Mahan would do was on walls in the soon-to-be-finished 19,000-square foot mansion in Texas he or she is building with his former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader wife. How do you like ??dem apples?

Murray Abraham, ached with jealousy on the otherworldly gifts of Mozart, played by Tom Hulce.

Am I saying that Chamblee nailed it so much that Westwood is Salieri and McIlroy is Mozart? Certainly, that would be overstatement.

Rory McIlroy has shown the potential to carry on the legacy of Woods

Since turning pro in 2007, Rory McIlroy has shown the opportunity to remain the legacy of Woods and Norman. McIlroy's swagger, beautiful golf swing technique and confident stride reward fans with a genuine superstar. Whilst he shot 80 with the 2011 Masters to blow a 6-shot bring success Sunday, there was without doubt he would eventually function as top-ranked player in the world. With the 8-shot win at the U.S. Open in June, it became only a matter of time before he'd take up the throne vacated by Tiger.

The 22-year-old native of Holywood, Northern Ireland, has the chance immediately to get back some swagger to No. One in the planet ranking. If he is Titleist 712 AP1 Irons able to win three more matches in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, he'll supplant Donald inside the top spot.

On Friday, McIlroy beat 48-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez 3 and 1 in the third round. For many during the day, he gave a clinic in ballstriking. In his first nine holes, he hit five approach shots within 7 feet with the hole. His driving, always a solid facet of his game, was accurate and long.

"I felt like I played my best golf of Titleist 712 AP2 Irons every week today," McIlroy said. "I still hit a number of loose ones, but for the greater degree I felt like I drove the ball great. I hit a great deal of iron shots near to the pin."

On Saturday inside quarterfinals, McIlroy will face Sang-Moon Bae, a 25-year-old South Korean rookie. Bae beat John Senden 1 up in a very close discount golf clubs match.

The Union has brought cost-cutting measures and is committed to continuing that down the road.

"Clubs are under pressure, there is not any doubt that," said Lee. "And nobody knows how a next several years will go.

"Our junior golf programmes to have young people considering the sport are working very well and our coaching and development is paying dividends.

"Sometimes they're going back and rejoin normally the one they left after a year or two.
