THAT'S HOW YOU CINK THOSE GOLF PUTTS !! .....KUDOS MR. STEWART

After a rock solid , fairytale performance right till the very end, veteran Tom Watson faltered at the final hurdle. Stewart Cink won his first Major at Turnberry last night, displaying some amazing golfing skills. In the four hole play-off , finally old nerves got the better of Tom's tenacity and he fell flat. Vying to become the oldest Major winner, he seemed completely out of sorts at the last gasp.


But there is no taking away from the great champ, he was in a different league right through the championship and he nearly turned back the clock......almost. It was that close.


I love this game.

IT'S RAINING EAGLES N BIRDIES !!!..........AND AGE AIN'T A BAR



Yes! it's all happening at Turnberry, Scotland in the British Open Golf Championship 2009. World No. 1, bookies favorite Tiger Woods couldn't make the cut. And I am sure that's a dampener for lot of fans of this fabulous sport around the world. Tom Watson at 59 yrs leading the pack, being closely pursued by an unheralded Tasmanian called Mathew Goggin and English hope Ross Fisher.


Sunday chase for the Claret Jug has all the making of an enthralling finale. I have been following the proceedings at the breathtaking course starting second half of the week and I can't wait to see the battle royal between Veterans Watson, Lee Westwood, Retief Goosen and budding stars Goggin and Fisher.



There is no other sport which can better demonstrate the importance of power and finesse than Golf, and come Sunday, we will see plenty of both. Don't miss it. GO FOR IT TOM ! No one deserves it more than you.


Good Luck !!
