Anthony Aloi of Plainsboro, N.J., captured the MGA’s 2008 Met Junior Championship at Rockaway River Country Club in Denville, N.J. On the final day, Aloi, who will play at Furman University in the fall, defeated both tournament favorite Cameron Wilson (Norwalk) and Dillon Corbo (Montville, N.J.) in the championship match. Amazingly, both matches went extra [...]

Here are the links to the special section of The Journal News, which came out last Friday and recognizes the top athletes in Westchester/Putnam and Rockland counties:

Sorry for the delay. I was away for the weekend and amazingly, didn’t play golf once.

Golf fans will enjoy these two sections since they have a strong golf [...]

For years, I’ve been ridiculed by friends for pretty much rooting for Tiger Woods and against the rest of the field in every tournament. That position has had one exception in Wake Forest classmate Bill Haas, who hasn’t exactly been tearing it up on the PGA Tour.

But recently, before Tiger announced his season-ending surgery, I [...]

Greetings all,

I’m back from a golf trip to Kiawah Island in South Carolina and only one word can describe the famed Ocean Course: Unbelievable.

Anyway, before I left, fellow Team Journal News member Josh Thomson and I taped a podcast discussing the possible TJN Athlete of the Season candidates in both Westchester/Putnam and Rockland. No, we [...]

Nehansic Valley’s Kevin Foley held off Arcola’s Morgan Hoffman by one shot to win the Ike Championship yesterday at Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, N.J. The victory is the first MGA title for Foley, who recently wrapped up an All-American sophomore season at Penn State University.

Mike Dougherty was on the scene while continuing [...]

The second day of the Ike, one of the Metropolitan Golf Association’s three major championships, is well underway at Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, N.J.

Nehansic Valley’s Kevin Foley, who just finished an All-American sophomore season at Penn State University, was the overnight leader after firing a 6-under-par 65 to tie a tournament record. [...]

Yesterday, I had the privilege of covering the Guiding Eyes for the Blind Golf Classic. This was the 31st year of the event being held annually and for a second straight year, Giants’ quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning was the host.

Well, Eli may have been the host for a second straight year, but [...]

The news is starting to filter its way onto web sites all across the country: Tiger Woods’ 2008 golf season appears over.

For the latest news, click here.

According to a report by The Golf Channel, Woods has decided to undergo season-ending knee surgery. The world’s No. 1 golfer suffered a stress fracture in his left tibia [...]

Tiger made an easy par on the 7th hole, the first sudden-death playoff hole, to win the 2008 U.S. Open.

For Tiger, it’s his 14th major, but perhaps his most memorable coming back from the knee surgery and making so many memorable putts/shots. Two days in a row he made birdie on the final hole to [...]

So a sudden-death playoff isn’t what the USGA wants after the fourth round, but it’s good enough following an 18-hole playoff? Interesting.

Anyway, Tiger Woods just drained a four-footer for birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff with Rocco Mediate. He took his time studying the putt, but was there ever a doubt he [...]
