SotB — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:54:13 +0000

There are many reasons to take up golf. It is a hugely user-friendly sport which can be played by everybody. It is no longer the game of the elite, with only the gentry turning up ahead of breakfast to take part in a quick 18.

Golf: Tips On Hitting A Good Pitch Shot

SotB — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:00:31 +0000

This article gives an introduction to the pitch golf shot, why it is so tricky and provides some hopefully useful hints as to how you can improve it. This should not be considered gospel, it is merely what I have picked up talking to other players and the odd pro over several years schlepping around rain lashed links.

2009 US Open | Tiger Woods Latest News

SotB — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:58:39 +0000

After seeing Tiger Woods limp around the press area following his amazing (at least as far as the adoring press was concerned) victory at the U.S. Open last year and then hearing his subsequent announcement that he would be going on the shelf for six months, many wondered when the worlds greatest golfer would return to form.
