us open golf tiger woodsRocco Mediate and Tiger Woods have finished in a tie at the U.S. Open, forcing an 18-hole playoff for the first time since 2001.
The playoff at Torrey Pines will be tomorrow.
Woods will try to win his 14th major, while Mediate, 45, will try to become the oldest player to win the U.S. Open.
The U.S. Open is the only major to play an 18-hole playoff. The last time it happened was seven years ago, when Retief Goosen beat Mark Brooks at Southern Hills.
Woods shot 2-over 73, draining a 12-foot putt on 18 to tie Mediate at 1-under 283.
Mediate shot even-par 71. He had a chance to win the tournament on No. 18, but his 30-foot birdie putt curled off just to the right.

tiger woods is at it again. I am not a TV watcher, but boy was I yesterday. Tiger is in an 18 hole playoff today with Rocco Mediate for the 2008 US Open Golf Championship.
Grimacing on almost every tee shot Tiger show the guts of the entire field combined. No one else on tour could match his guts and absolute commitment to winning this tournament.
Having not played in 5 weeks and coming off a knee surgery that was not completely healed, he is doing what no other tour player could dream of doing. He’s put himself in a position to win another Major.
I’ll be watching the TV again, and rooting for Tiger, although Rocco is such a great guy, if he won I wouldn’t be too bothered. If it was Rory Sabbatini it would be a different story though.
My money’s on Tiger!
We’ll know soon enough, but what excitement Tiger Woods has brought to this tour!

Pasta, wine, Roman ruins, the mountains – hundreds of things bring tourists to Italy. Be prepared to add golf to the list. If you want to go on a golf holiday, Italy has so many picturesque courses right in the heart of the country that it is quickly becoming one of the top golf destinations in the world. Golf courses in Italy range from those located high in the Alps in Lombardy and Piemont to those like the San Michelle Golf Club, making good use of its beautiful seaside location to entice golfers. Like you needed another reason to travel to Italy.
Italy golf package vacations usually revolve around the northern regions, between Milan and Venice in the Lakes District. Food, art, hiking – these can wait until after you hit the links. The lakes the region is named for, including the famed Lake Como; trickling rivers, verdant hills - they all come together here, and the many golf courses in Italy do their best to take advantage of the country’s scenic landscape.
The Golf Club Le Robinie was constructed by none other than Jack Nicklaus and brings tourists of all different skill levels to its Varese location. It bears all the signature marks of a Nicklaus designed course, from the tricky bunkers to challenging greens. Other nearby golf courses in Italy that are must-sees for any include the Golf Club Varese whose clubhouse is a converted 12th century monastery just a few miles away from Lake Como. The course itself is one of the oldest in the area, and a perfect location for a golf holiday. Italy’s great courses continue as you move towards Lake Maggiore. Whether you want to play overlooking the Borromean Islands or beneath the imposing Monte Rosa mountain range, this is one of the top areas for Italy golf package vacations. There are plenty of hotels nearby the Golf Club Des Iles Borromees in the cities of Stresa and Lesa, and the course is considered one of Italy’s finest. Well above sea level, the links here are endlessly green, spread wide above the shimmering lake on a scenic plateau. Great views of the neighboring cities only add to the wondrous course.
While most Italy golf package vacations are found in the charming northern regions, you can still find some great courses the further south you travel. Both the Napoli and Porto D’Orra Golf Clubs outside Naples offer some of the country’s best golfing.
But the central areas like Tuscany and Lazio are where you’ll experience the true joy of a golf holiday. Italy doesn’t get much better than these regions, and the golf courses here are no exception. The brilliant greens and hilltop views that make Tuscany one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country are on full display along the Tuscan golf courses – the standouts include Toscana Il Pelagone and Poggio Dei Medici (just a short trip from Florence). Mix recreation with culture with a stay in Tuscany, visiting the beautiful courses during the day and sampling the great wines and pasta at night.

golf club baigThings are going a little better here. We’re still waiting on new fence and roof for our home thanks to Hurricane Ike.
Last Monday, October 13th was my 11-year anniversary of marriage. The next day my husband took me to a sporting goods store here in Houston and bought me a set of golf clubs. For years I have gone with him to different golf courses just to drive the cart, have a few cocktails, and give him and his buddies FREE commentary on their game. Well the day came for me to try out my new clubs. I’ve played 18 holes twice now and I have found a lot of new muscles that I don’t recall having. It hasn’t been a hard game to pick up. Yesterday I went to the driving range by myself to try to figure out my distance with each club (this way I understand which club to use when playing instead of jusy guessing). Well I hit two buckets of balls, and by the time I was finished I could hardly move my arms. I think I’m starting to get a different type of workout in.
I was just so bored with the gym. I am enjoying this new-found sport. Wish me luck, that the boys don’t give me too hard of a time like I did them. I’ll check back in later to let everyone know how it’s going. Thanks for all the support. Good luck everyone.

golf clubs and groundGolf is a sport enjoyed by men and women. If a woman plays a few games of golf and finds that she likes it, she is going to want to think about purchasing the necessary equipment. This includes a nice set of golf clubs. It is important to choose a set of ladies golf clubs carefully so that it lasts for many years to come.
golf clubsDo you have a club fitting program? Check with your local PGA golf professional and see whether he has a club fitting program. If he doesn’t, he’ll be able to direct you to someone in the area who does. After you’ve started this game and found you like it enough to continue playing, choosing the right equipment is the biggest decision you’ll have to make. So talk to a PGA golf professional.
What’s the price of club fitting? Don’t be too shy to ask this question. Club fitting can be expensive. You should be the judge of how much you can afford.
What shaft length do I need for my clubs? Golfers come in different heights and builds. Some people are tall with short arms, and some are short with long arms. People have different postures when they bend over to address the golf ball, and they need different shaft lengths to match that posture. This is where PGA golf professionals can really help; they’re trained to answer questions like these and can make club fitting very easy.
What lie-angle do I need on my clubs? Here’s the general rule: The closer you stand to the ball, the more upright your club needs to be. As you get farther away from the ball, the lie-angle of your clubs should be flatter.
What grip size do I need? The bigger your hands are, the bigger grip you need. If you have a tendency to slice the ball, you can try smaller grips that help your hands work faster. If you have a tendency to hook the ball, you can use bigger grips that will slow down your hands and help you beat that hook.
What material — leather, cord, all-rubber, half-rubber — do you recommend for my grips? Many different materials can make up a golf grip. Leather is the most expensive and the hardest to maintain. It’s for accomplished players; I don’t recommend leather for beginners. Stick to an all-rubber grip —and change your grips every year if you play at least once a week. I use a combination of rubber and cord — and it has nothing to do with my name. These grips help me hold on to the club in hot weather. My hands are callused, though, so they don’t hurt from the rubbing of the cord.
What kind of irons should I buy — investment-cast, forged, oversized, or cavityback? The best advice I can give is to look for an investment-cast, cavity-backed, oversized golf club. For beginners, this is the best choice. Just take my word for it — I haven’t got enough paper to explain all the reasons.
Should I use space-age materials like boron, titanium, or graphite in my shafts? Or should I go with steel? Steel shafts are the cheapest; all the others are quite a bit more expensive, so keep your budget in mind. See if you can test some of these other shafts to see how they compare with steel, which is still very good and used by most of the players on tour.
What type of putter should I use: centershafted or end-shafted? Do I want a mallet putter, a belly putter, or a long putter? There’s been an explosion of putter technology in the past few years. You can try out the result at the golf course where you play. Just ask the pro if you can test one of the putters on the rack. If you have a friend or playing partner who has a putter you think you may like, ask to try it. For more on putters and putting.
If you’re going to buy new clubs, ask the pro if you can test them for a day. Most of the time, someone who’s trying to make a sale will give you every opportunity to try the clubs. Golf pros are just like car dealers; they’ll let you test-drive before you buy.

open golf club sticksToday, club fitting is big business. Tour pros and average amateur golfers have access to the same club fitting technology and information. It’s important for all golfers — male and female — to use the right equipment for their body types and physical conditions. For instance, many manufacturers of golf clubs specialize in creating clubs for women that have softer shafts, which are lighter and more flexible.Here are some factors every golfer should consider:
The grip: Determine how thick the grip on your clubs should be. Grips that are too thin encourage too much hand action in your swing; grips that are too thick restrict your hands too much. Generally, the propersized grip should allow the middle and ring fingers on your left hand to barely touch the pad of your thumb when you hold the club. If your fingers don’t touch your thumb, the grip is too big; if your fingers dig into the pad, the grip is too thin.
The shaft: Consider your height, build, and strength when you choose a club. If you’re really tall, you need longer (and probably stiffer) shafts. What does your swing sound like? If your swing makes a loud swish noise and the shaft is bending like a long cast from a fly-fishing rod at the top of your swing, you need a very strong shaft. If your swing makes no noise and you could hang laundry on your shaft at the top of your swing, you need a regular shaft. Anybody in between needs a mediumstiff to stiff shaft.
Loft: Then there’s your typical ball flight. If you slice, for example, you can get clubs with less loft — or perhaps offset heads — to help alleviate that common problem. For more information about slicing.
The clubhead: Consider the size of the clubhead. Today, you can get standard, midsize, and oversize heads on your clubs. I recommend you use bigger clubheads for your early days of playing golf. Bigger clubheads are more forgiving and can help psychologically, too. With some of today’s jumbo clubheads, your swing thought may well be, “With this thing, how could I miss?”
The iron: Advanced players choose irons that are perfectly suited to their swings. Forged, muscle-backed irons are for good players who hit the ball on the clubface precisely. Cavity-backed irons are for players who hit the ball all over the clubface.The bigger the clubface, the more room for error — hence the biggerheaded metal woods that are popular today for all you wild swingers out there.Because of all the technology that is available, purchasing golf clubs nowadays is like buying a computer: Whatever you buy may be outdated in six months. So be frugal and shop for your best buy. When you get a set that fits you and you’re hitting the ball with consistency, stick with that set. Finding a whole set of clubs that matches the temperament of your golf swing is hard. Find the ones that have your fingerprints on them and stick with ’em.

golf ball golf groundPasta, wine, Roman ruins, the mountains – hundreds of things bring tourists to Italy. Be prepared to add golf to the list. If you want to go on a golf holiday, Italy has so many picturesque courses right in the heart of the country that it is quickly becoming one of the top golf destinations in the world. Golf courses in Italy range from those located high in the Alps in Lombardy and Piemont to those like the San Michelle Golf Club, making good use of its beautiful seaside location to entice golfers. Like you needed another reason to travel to Italy.
Italy golf package vacations usually revolve around the northern regions, between Milan and Venice in the Lakes District. Food, art, hiking – these can wait until after you hit the links. The lakes the region is named for, including the famed Lake Como; trickling rivers, verdant hills - they all come together here, and the many golf courses in Italy do their best to take advantage of the country’s scenic landscape.
The Golf Club Le Robinie was constructed by none other than Jack Nicklaus and brings tourists of all different skill levels to its Varese location. It bears all the signature marks of a Nicklaus designed course, from the tricky bunkers to challenging greens. Other nearby golf courses in Italy that are must-sees for any include the Golf Club Varese whose clubhouse is a converted 12th century monastery just a few miles away from Lake Como. The course itself is one of the oldest in the area, and a perfect location for a golf holiday. Italy’s great courses continue as you move towards Lake Maggiore. Whether you want to play overlooking the Borromean Islands or beneath the imposing Monte Rosa mountain range, this is one of the top areas for Italy golf package vacations. There are plenty of hotels nearby the Golf Club Des Iles Borromees in the cities of Stresa and Lesa, and the course is considered one of Italy’s finest. Well above sea level, the links here are endlessly green, spread wide above the shimmering lake on a scenic plateau. Great views of the neighboring cities only add to the wondrous course.
While most Italy golf package vacations are found in the charming northern regions, you can still find some great courses the further south you travel. Both the Napoli and Porto D’Orra Golf Clubs outside Naples offer some of the country’s best golfing.
But the central areas like Tuscany and Lazio are where you’ll experience the true joy of a golf holiday. Italy doesn’t get much better than these regions, and the golf courses here are no exception. The brilliant greens and hilltop views that make Tuscany one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country are on full display along the Tuscan golf courses – the standouts include Toscana Il Pelagone and Poggio Dei Medici (just a short trip from Florence). Mix recreation with culture with a stay in Tuscany, visiting the beautiful courses during the day and sampling the great wines and pasta at night.

golf dimples of a typical golf ball Can you explain why a golf ball has dimples? If dimples reduce drag, why don't we see this surface feature on other aerodynamic shapes like airplane wings?- question from Brent Obst & Andrew While few among us can deny that golf is one of the least exciting of all spectator sports, we aerospace engineers are fascinated by its aerodynamics! Even the non-golfers of the world are familiar with the shape of a golf ball, like that pictured below, and have probably wondered why its surface is covered with small indentations called dimples.
Before explaining the purpose of dimples, we first need to understand the aerodynamic properties of a sphere. Let us start by looking at a smooth sphere without any dimples, like a ping-pong ball. If we lived in an ideal world without any friction, the air flowing around a smooth sphere would behave like that shown in the following diagram. In this figure, the angle q represents position along the surface of the sphere. The leading edge of the sphere that first encounters the incoming airflow is at q=0° while the trailing edge is at q=180°. A position of q=90° is the top of the sphere, q=270° is the bottom, and q=360° brings us back around to the leading edge. Note that in this ideal situation, the air flowing around the sphere forms a perfectly symmetrical pattern. The streamline pattern around the front face, from 270° up to 90°, is the same as that around the back face, from 90° down to 270°.
