Blog 46 - Dustin Johnson and the Rules Nightmare at Whistling Straits
What does the episode involving Dustin Johnson on the 72nd hole at the PGA Championship mean for the game?
When the first mention of a possible two-shot penalty for Dustin Johnson (who had grounded his club in a patch of sand to the right of the 18th fairway) came up, most people's reaction would surely have been 'You've got to be joking'. I know mine was. Well, it appears the PGA of America and Rules Chairman Mark Brown were absolutely right and that there was no doubt of which Johnson could have been given the benefit.
But still; how many non core-golfers, or people interested in trying the game at least, were watching it all unfold with quizzical expressions and thinking that, actually, golf is rather a silly game?

Blog 45 - PGA Day One, North Bellingham Amateur
Day One at the PGA Championship; North Bellingham Amateur; BC Senior Amateur
We've only had one day's competitive golf at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits and the stories are coming at us thick and fast - just like the fog which delayed the start of play this morning, first for three hours and ten minutes, then for another six minutes while players waited for the last lingering low cloud to move off the 3rd green.
With Jim Gray and Corey Pavin's little spat, Ryder Cup issues, Tiger Woods's 'new' swing, Phil Mickelson revealing he has arthritis, and Bubba Watson breaking down in the press tent after his first round 68, it sure is making for compelling TV.
Blog 44 - Last Visit to Anytime Fitness
Finished at Anytime Fitness
Yesterday I completed the Dynamic Golf Training course at Anytime Fitness - eight sessions, a lot of sweat, one or two painful moments, gallons of gatorade, and the sad, though not altogether surprising, realization I am one unfit individual. That said, the improvement I've noticed since day one is not inconsiderable. Back then, it took me all of 30 seconds on the elliptical machine to reach my target heart rate of 145bpm. Yesterday, it took six minutes.
