2007 Deutsche Bank Championship

Cal on August 31st, 2007

Okay, we will ignore the fact this is the only tournament to start on a Friday, and that it confused the hell out of me for a while when I was setting up my Fantasy Golf team!

You can have a look at the web site, or even the course.

Live scoring is over at the PGATour.com.

Let’s see how many Australians will make it into the top 70 and move on to the BMW Championship, played at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club.

I believe that must be a record for out going links in one post for me…

Cal on August 27th, 2007

Okay, so we know Gavin Coles didn’t make it to the next tournament.
Also missing out by just one spot (a miserly 25 points) is Steve Allan. Not making the cut will do that to you!
Mathew Goggin was two spots and 500 points out of contention. He missed the cut too.
Andrew Buckle made the […]

It’s been a long time between drinks for Sydney’s Joanne Mills. Okay she’s probably had a few drinks in the ten years between wins, but you know what I mean!
The last time Mills won a tournament was in 1997 and it was the German Open.

He becomes […]
