I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I actually came to that realization after being at my desk for over an hour this afternoon. The TV above my head is now turned to the action, but I’m amazed that it took that long.

I guess this is what happens when you take Tiger out of the least [...]

For the third straight year, I got to cover the Carter Cup yesterday at Baltusrol Golf Club. The famed lower course (and lesser-known upper course for that matter) look better and better each time I go.

The event is the MGA’s junior stroke-play championship and consists of 36 holes (18 on both courses) over one day. [...]

The American Junior Golf Association was in the area this past week for the Lessing’s Championship at Island Hills Golf Club on Long Island. Not surprisingly, many of the top local junior golfers were in the field for these all-important events when it comes to trying to impress college coaches.

One player who wasn’t trying to [...]

Stephen Scialo doesn’t just play well in qualifiers, he dominates them. Scialo, a recent Clarkstown North graduate, won another qualifier, this time for the Met Open, this past Thursday at Dellwood Country Club.

Yes, Dellwood is his home course, but shooting a 2-under-par 68 (really 3-under, but one of the par 5s was played as a [...]

I had the pleasure of participating in the 2nd Annual Canno Invitational this past Thursday. Hosted by Rye Neck golf coach Mark Canno, the event was held at Metropolis Country Club and once again featured some of the area’s top junior and college golfers and of course… me.

The weather was great and the course was [...]

Chris Scialo shot rounds of 68 and 70 to finish with a 6-under-par total of 138 at Arcola Country Club in Paramus, N.J., and capture the 2008 Arcola Cup.

Scialo, who will be a junior at Towson University this fall, got a last minute invite to this event which features a field of some of the [...]

There has been a lot of great golf played by area juniors this spring and summer, but there had been a bit of a drought when it came to producing big wins… until now.

Cortlandt Manor’s Jonathan Renza (Fordham Prep) turned in rounds of 68 and 70 at Pelham Bay Golf Club to finish 4-under-par and [...]

Mahopac’s Marisa Kamelgarn made it through stroke-play at the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship at the Hartford Golf Club in West Hartford, Conn., before falling to Victoria Tanco of Argentina 3 and 2 in the first round of match-play.

Kamelgarn fired rounds of 77 and 72 to finish in a tie for 39th through the first two [...]

We all know where the No. 1 golfer in the FedExCup standings wasn’t this past weekend. No. 2? He wasn’t at Royal Birkdale either.

Kenny Perry made the British Open his second straight major championship that he didn’t play in. He also didn’t play in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, saying he seldom played well [...]

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 [...]
