Sergio Wins Two On The Bounce

Posted on October 31, 2011 by | Comments Off on Sergio Wins Two On The Bounce

Sergio Garcia climbed back into golf’s world’s top 20 with a victory in the Andalucia Masters at Valderrama in Spain.

Garcia, 31, started the day two shots clear of compatriot Miguel Angel Jimenez and survived a shaky start to take his second title in a week.

The Spaniard ended a three-year title drought last weekend with an emphatic 11-shot victory at the Castello Masters and closed out victory with a 71.

Jimenez led at the turn but finished a shot back on five under after a 70.

Scotland’s Richie Ramsay, leader going into the weekend, briefly jumped into a share of the lead with Garcia on the back nine, only to shank his tee shot on the par-three 15th.

His ball was only found after the five-minute search time had elapsed and the resulting double bogey effectively ended his hopes.

It’s great to see Sergio’s hunger back for golf, and he actually seemed to be enjoying the fight on the back nine with Jimenez.

Jimenez was playing some great golf at times and was desperately unlucky with a couple of birdie putts that so nearly dropped in the closing stretch.

Watching the event live on TV bought back a lot of memories of the Ryder Cup in 1997, especially watching Sergio playing the 18th reminded me of when Colin Montgomerie hit a brilliant tee shot and managed to close out victory against Scott Hoch in what was one of the best Ryder Cups ever!

Junior Golf Lessons In West London

Posted on October 26, 2011 by | Comments Off on Junior Golf Lessons In West London

I was lucky enough to have golf lessons in London from a young age and I fondly remember the Junior Group Coaching sessions that I took part in as a kid.

The professionals that taught me back then inspired me to improve and to eventually become a professional golfer, so I take great pride in teaching the youngsters of today, in the hope that they may become the golfers of tomorrow.

I cover all of the basics and the juniors will also enjoy some fun games and drills that they can practice away from the club.

I can also provide golf equipment free of charge for use during the coaching session, which typically lasts for one hour.

Golf is a great way to meet people, especially for the kids, they can interact with other kids from different backgrounds and all enjoy this great game together!

McIlroy joins best pal McDowell

Posted on October 25, 2011 by | Comments Off on McIlroy joins best pal McDowell

US Open champion Rory McIlroy has split with his manager Andrew Chandler.

The 22-year-old Northern Irishman has been with Chandler’s International Sports Management company since turning professional in 2007.

A spokesman for ISM said: “There has been no falling out, it is amicable. He is joining his great friend Graeme McDowell at Horizon.”

In a statement, Chandler said: “We have had a brilliant year. Rory has grown and he leaves us as a major champion.”

McIlroy became the youngest winner of the US Open since Bobby Jones in 1923 when he won by eight shots at Congressional in June.

It capped a remarkable  four years of golf for the world number three who turned professional after the 2007 Walker Cup.

Sergio Wins First Golf Tournament For Three Years

Posted on October 24, 2011 by | Comments Off on Sergio Wins First Golf Tournament For Three Years

Sergio Garcia ended his three-year wait for a tournament victory by winning the Castello Masters by 11 shots in Spain.

The 31-year-old had taken an eight-shot lead into the final day and dominated again with a superb round of 63 on the Club de Campo del Mediterraneo course where he was boys champion aged 12.

Garcia, who was the tournament promoter, finished with his ninth birdie of the day for a 27-under total.

It gave the Spaniard his ninth European Tour career victory.

His compatriot Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano finished second after a 64 – although his round was spoiled slightly by two bogeys at the 17th and 18th while Scotland’s Richie Ramsay and Sweden’s Alex Noren were a shot further back on 15 under.

Garcia’s victory, his second in four years in the event, beat the previous biggest winning margin of the European Tour season by three shots.
