Harrison freshman Mike DiTursi finished second last week at the International Junior Golf Tour’s Seaview Marriot Resort (Galloway, N.J.) tournament in the 13-15 age division.

DiTursi made a charge in the final round with five birdies on the back nine in tough weather conditions before coming up short.

As an eighth grader this past high school season, DiTursi [...]

What a great weekend for the PGA at the Tour Championship. In the mix on the final day was a great collection of both talented, marketable and exciting players in Camilo Villegas, Sergio Garcia, Anthony Kim and Phil Mickelson.

Remarkably, Villegas came from behind to win his second straight huge tournament (he also won the BMW [...]

The International Junior Golf Tour recently made a stop in Long Island with a tournament at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow.

Several local players participated and did well, led by Brewster junior Mike Miller, who finished in second place in the boys 16-19 division. Miller fired rounds of 69 and 70 to finish at 5-under-par and [...]

Sorry for the late update, but Brewster rising junior Mike Miller captured the Met PGA’s Tournament of Champions at Ardsley Country Club … by seven shots. Miller fired a 4-under-67 in round one and followed that up with a 72 in round two to finish at 3-under and defeat runners-up Luke Feehan (Mahopac) and Sam Bernstein [...]

Mill River’s (N.Y.) Mark Mielke shot a 1-under-par 69 to finish at 5-under and capture the Met Open Championship by three shots.

Mielke, who also won the event in 1992, won $27,500 for the victory. He set the record for longest gap between wins in [...]

Yesterday I was at round one of the Met Open at the Country Club of Fairfield and it appeared that one player might runaway with the prestigious tournament, one of the MGA’s three major championships.

Wrong.

In the latest example of how crazy a game golf can be, Sleepy Hollow’s Tim Hegarty, who scorched the track for [...]

Okay, so I’ve gotten a comment that I should try to liven up this blog by talking about subjects local golfers can get involved with. I think this is a great idea.

Since Rich S suggested we talk about sandbagging, let’s go with it.

So what can we say about sandbagging. Many of us have either been [...]

This past week, several local junior golfers really proved themselves on a big stage with strong performances in the AJGA’s Northwestern Mutual Financial Network – Blumberg Group Junior Classic.

The tournament was held at Richter Park Golf Course in Danbury, Conn., and both Brewster’s Mike Miller and Mahopac’s Marisa Kamelgarn each finished in second place in [...]

Yesterday I had the pleasure of covering the Stoddard Trophy Matches at Fresh Meadow Country Club in Lake Success (great name!), Long Island.

For those of you not aware, the competition is a team-format similar to the Ryder Cup. Except there are three teams and there isn’t one team that seems to win every year…

The three [...]

Rain may have washed away most of today’s action in the third round of the PGA Championship, but I still got my fill … thanks to Directv.
