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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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