Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson and Lee Westwood Hit Balls Out of a 2,000 Year-Old Amphitheater


In this installment of "Ridiculous Promotional Photo Shoots Tournaments Make Players Do," Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson and Lee Westwood turned a 2,000 year-old amphitheater in Turkey into a driving range. The trio are in Turkey this week for the European Tour's 2014 Turkish Airlines Open, which starts on Thursday.

Phil Mickelson might be Arizona State's new interim assistant golf coach, but don't expect to see him driving the van


Apparently Phil Mickelson is taking the research part of his participation on the PGA of America's U.S. Ryder Cup Task Force pretty seriously. How else do you explain the five-time major champion, who became rather vocal about the dynamics of overseeing a golf team after the Americans' loss at Gleneagles in September, accepting the job as an interim assistant coach for the Arizona State men's golf team?

OK, so maybe there are other factors that might help shed light on the hiring, which was first reported by Golfweek.

Top 5 Bubba Watson Shots of His Career

Bubba Watson is a seven-time PGA Tour winner. He’s won the Masters twice, including the most recent in 2014. Before turning professional, Watson was a stand-out collegiate player at the University of Georgia, where he helped the Bulldogs to an SEC title in 2000. Needless to say, Bubba knows a thing or two about hitting golf shots.

While golf fans might have mixed opinions on Watson off the course, everyone agrees that he is one of the greatest shotmakers of our generation. His recent win — and the manner in which he won — at the 2014 HSBC Champions reminded us of that fact. He is a true force to be reckoned with, and the pool of “Bubba’s Greatest Shots” is deep.

Cobble Beach - A Four Season Resort Community & Golfers Paradise


As the 2014 golf season winds to a close across Canada and the Northern USA, I was thankful to have the opportunity to squeeze in one more late season golf course visit. Nestled away at the south end of the Bruce Peninsula (two hours northwest of the Greater Toronto Area), sits Cobble Beach, one of the most serene golf communities I've ever visited. This four season waterfront resort and residential enclave, is an undiscovered slice of paradise on the shores of the stunning Georgian Bay. Although the days of the golf season have all but dwindled away, as one season comes to a close, another is set to begin, with plenty of year round activities to keep visitors and locals entertained.
