Golf

Below is our full interview with local golf phenom Kennedy Swedick from this week right here on Big Board Sports.

Located roughly an hour and 30 minutes from Albany, in Middletown Springs, Vermont, lies Honey Pond Farm Estate, the ultimate sports and nature getaway in the area.

Phil Mickelson expressed his sympathy for those who lost loved ones in 9/11, but his actions are speaking louder than his words, according to one irate widow.

With Father's Day quickly approaching, a chance to give that extra special gift is rapidly diminishing. Golf gift certificates are great but they are usually for one greens fee or the pro shop. Why not give Dad the opportunity to take whomever he wants out for a day of golf? This is definitely a gift on the pricey side, so shakedown those siblings to put some cash towards a memorable Father's Day gift.

Tiger Woods is playing in the 2022 Masters. This is almost 14 months after he was in a horrific car crash where he suffered severed leg injuries.

The simple answer is, yes. Many golf historians will tell you that the legendary Walter Hagen was the best golfer ever to come out of the Empire State. Hagen's 11-major championships put him in third place on the all-time list behind Jack Nicklaus with 18 majors and Tiger Woods with 15. However, the Rochester, New York native only played in one Masters tournament in 1936 and tied for 11th place.

Tiger Woods walked 18 holes on Tuesday at Augusta, so that must mean he will play at the Masters on April 7th. If Woods gives it a shot, the ratings will soar.

Capital Region golfers will soon be flocking to their day-trip destinations to play the plush green fairways of their favorite course. However, with gas prices soaring and no end in sight, foursomes will be carpooling and looking to save any way that they can.

Golf can be a very "green" sport visually, the lush fairways, the tree lined greens and yes, the destination of the sport, the green! Those factors are all the more reason to play golf in the Capital Region in the fall. Over the next 6 weeks, people from all over the country will make this area a destination for "leaf peeping" and apple picking. Local golfers know, there is no better time of year to keep those clubs ready for beautiful conditions and spectacular views.

No matter how many balls I've lost, trees I've hit or curse words I've said, something will draw me back in to the wonderfully frustrating game of golf.

Despite the awkward chirps and thinly-veiled anger (I'm looking at you, Bryson), Capital One's The Match once again delivered a very strong performance.

Yesterday, at the U.S. Open, a gentleman ran out onto the course at Torrey Pines, and did the unthinkable, but also, the obvious. He started playing golf!
