This time of year golf slows down for most of the world and yields to the gridiron of the NFL or College Football bowl season. Some dream-chasers however, are making a final stride towards realizing life long goals to compete on the PGA Tour. Christmas will come early on December 7th for the 40 or [...]

How to win Scramble Golf tournaments
Posted in Tournament Golf, tagged Captain's Choice, Golf formats, Scramble Golf, Superball on May 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Recently, I was invited to play in a Scramble Event. The format also falls under the aliases of Captain’s Choice and Superball. It is very common for charity events and corporate outings. The rules of a scramble allows each member in a team (usually 2 or 4 golfers) to hit each shot and play the [...]
Match Play: Golf’s mano-a-mano
Posted in Tournament Golf, tagged golf, match play, Tournament Golf on February 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Tiger is back ! I must have heard this ten times yesterday as he made a triumphant return to competitive golf at the Accenture World Match Play.
I love match play. It is the only time in golf where it is truly mano-a-mano. In most other sports like tennis, boxing, ufc, basketball, and football athletes play against one competitor. [...]

Last Friday I had fun playing in a pro-am with my college coach, Robert. He has been a mentor, boss, and now a friend over the years. He has served golfers for over two decades now as one of the best golf instructors in the country. The pro-am benefited the Triad Youth Golf Foundation. In its eighth year, TYGF, has helped spread [...]

The course was set up perfectly. The rough was about 2-2.5″ of thick Bermuda grass which is playable but penal. The fairways were plush and competitors played the ball down (as it lies) through the green. Now this brings us to the greens. Well, some would say they were quick. Others might even say slippery. I even heard one [...]
The Seafood Invitational Part 1: Homecoming

Last weekend I played in the Seafood Invitational golf tournament. For 42 years the tournament, started by Purcell Jones, has been held at Morehead City Country Club (MCCC) in Morehead City NC. As a junior golfer growing up at the club, I remember watching great NC amateurs like Bill Boles and Bob Cato and weekenders, like my father, stroll the fairways [...]

This past Tuesday I played in a qualifier for the NC Mid-Amateur golf tournament. It is one of the Carolinas Golf Association Majors, and there are several qualifiers throughout the state to complete the field of 100+ players. It is being held this year at Sedgefield CC , which was host to the PGA Tour’s 2008 Wyndam [...]

11 years ago I walked off of the 18th green of the Forest Oaks Country Club golf course after an exciting round of 72, even par. The round included 1 birdie and 1 bogey and only 2 GIR (greens in regulation). It was good enough to secure a victory in the Forest Oaks Invitational, over some of the top amateur [...]
Around the Pie- part deux
Posted in Tournament Golf, tagged gillespie golf course, Golf tips, golf tournament, greensboro on July 30, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Round two was shotgun started like the first. The 70 players would begin and end around the same time. I strapped my bag into my cart assignment, which read, “Hole 1A.” I was in the second to last group 2 off the lead with 18 holes to play. My playing partners today were Ashley, Steve, and [...]
“Around the Pie” (the Gillespie Invitational)
Posted in Tournament Golf, Uncategorized, tagged gillespie golf course, golf tournament, greensboro on July 29, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I pulled into the parking lot and parked along the far side of the clubhouse. My Invicta read 7:00 am. I opened the door and stepped into the warm and humid Carolina summer and popped open the trunk. I retrieved my bag and laced up my Footjoys like I have done thousands of times before, but this morning was the first time since 2001 they would [...]
