I generally do not comment on tournaments while they are playing, but I thought I would jump in with one observation. It is something that I have noticed during this event that has evolved over the past 5 years on the PGA Tour. My earth shattering thought is that distance is king!

Dustin Johnson Will Win The RBC Canadian Open
Now that I have you attention, I think it is a safe bet to say that the world’s number one golfer will win today. He is playing better than he has in a long time and looks totally dominant. So, it is not any kind of stretch to say he will win the 2018 RBC Canadian Open. Continue reading
Moving Day at The RBC Canadian Open

It is a Saturday and after many big names missing the cut, I was wondering if there was as much interest on moving day at Glen Abbey as was hoped?
I am not surprised that the cut line was at minus 4. Glen Abbey has its challenges, but I did not find it overly complicated or difficult to play. I realize the conditions are not the same for amateurs and professionals, but neither is the skill of play. Having said that, players such as Matt Kuchar, Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson, Adam Hadwin and Brooks Keopka did not perform well enough to make through to the weekend (so much for my golf pool at Osprey Links!). So Glen Abbey must have some teeth.
Is there enough talent left for the weekend to keep the third oldest national golf championship relevant for the next two days? Continue reading
The Grateful Golfer’s US Open Predictions
The US Open has started. I am a few days behind in my writing, but I thought I would throw my hat into the ring and offer my views on who is going to walk away with the second Major of the 2018. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is not an easy track and depending on what the USGA does this year, it could be a real beast. Unfortunately, I think the USGA’s setups up this Major to the level of “ridiculous”, but apparently this makes for some great golf viewing. But, I lament on something I cannot control. Anyway, back to my predictions. Continue reading
Using Your Best Club for the Best Results
Everyone has a great club in their bag. You know the club that you reach for when you need that great shot. I have several, but there is always two clubs I depend upon all the time to be my great equalizer. I have honed their use over the years and realized that they have saved my scores on multiple occasions. Continue reading
