Terrell said on Sunday, “I and Dustin are excited and hopeful about partnering with the Golf Channel Academy, what we like most in GCA is that, they have the objective to remain affiliated with one instructor and they want to establish a long-term relationship with their clients, instead of just one-time sessions and one-and-done.

However, he has shown the whole world that his trick shot journey is far behind and a great career on the PGA Tour is waiting. (more…)
Jason Dufner, who in the past won a PGA Championship, has gotten used to people following his every move and being pelted with questions by fans and reporters.
This time, the crowd was not aware of who he was or what he does for a living. The 39-year old pro golfer had stopped by the non-profit organization where he helped to dish out meals for the children as part of the after-school program being carried out by the organization.
He was surrounded by different kindergartners and children in elementary school as he worked at the table just as another helper, lining the table with little cartons of chocolate milk and trays of chicken patties, rolls and mashed potatoes.
“They didn’t ask me a lot of questions; they don’t know what’s going on with golf, I don’t think,” Dufner said. (more…)
The Nedbank Golf Challenge is almost upon us. This Gary Player hosted event is all set to roll out next week.
Martin is a former world No. 1 and he hails from Germany. The 2012 season was the best season for him. It was his only victory during the 2012 season and it was Africa’s Major tournament. He was a deserving winner of the Ryder Cup in Medinah.

Have you taken a look at the golf spikes that Bubba Watson would be flaunting at the Olympics this week?
Watson has been one of the proponents of the golf game coming back to the Olympics. Hence it should come as no surprise that he would be part of the American team. He states that there is no threat of the Zika virus for him and his wife as they cannot have kids. They would be there to check out the competitors. He stated that golf had not figured before in Olympics as he had grown up seeing other games being played at the Olympics. It would definitely be a new experience when golf would be played this time at the Games. (more…)
Bubba Watson made the it to the Masters for the 8th back-to-back time in the tournament.
Akin to too many Augusta National putts, Bubba Watson seems really tough to read.
According to general public, the golfer is a gentle long-hitting goofball, some good old boy coming up with homemade swing & someone who even cry up when anybody asks him about his beloved adopted kids.
However, a lot of Bubba’s peers, his fellow pros playing at PGA Tour take him as disingenuous. In fact, a recent poll survey has found out that Watson is one peer whom none of the golfers would be coming to help in case he is involved in some parking lot brawl.
Interestingly, Bubba’s reaction was far from what was expected.
“I take that with pride”, remarked the golfer while he was informed about his unpopularity among the peers as per the poll result. (more…)
