PGA Golf Championship under way at Whistling Straitsin Kohler, Wisconsin!

Tiger just two strokes back of Charles Howell as play gets under way in first round here.

Field off to a fast start going under par on this difficult links style golf course just off of Lake Michigan.

Course conditions could get tougher as the weekend approaches with faster greens and fairways.

Can Tiger right the ship and get back on track here at the PGA Championship

He did say he would play his way onto the Ryder Cup team and it looks that way so far. So Captain Pavin should not need to fret or be too concerned over his selection to the team if  Tiger earns his own ticket to Wales.

Who knows. Tiger could snap back into championship form here and WIN! 

Let’s see more how it unfolds at the PGA at Whistling Straits.

If any of you have lived close to Lake Michigan I think you know why they chose the name for this golf venue.

Course looks pretty scary in parts and not easy!

Should be a great finish I would think by Sunday afternoon.

Its Great to See A Pro Golfer Reach for the Stars…

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Hi Everyone:

Graeme Mc Dowell’s win at this weekend’s US Open was nothing short of a stellar feat for the N. Ireland native.  He definitely made it happen despite all odds.

He played some really good golf in what turned out to be more of a bit of an all European final with the  tough  fast greens that turned lightning fast.  A  Frenchmen named Gregory Havret, also played fantastic golf,  to almost force a playoff as well.

Grame defeated golf’s big three who all had chances to win by far, but they could not mount  steady charges and do their thing, including that of Tiger Woods, who looked like he was back once again.

Not since Tony Jacklin won in 1970 have we seen someone from the British Isles win the US Open here on American soil.

Hats off to Greame Mc Dowell and his great play at historic Pebble Beach on Dad’s Day with his father present at the 18 th green to acknowlege his great triumph.  It doesn’t get much better than that now does it!

What was Greame’s secret to success and his play?

It was his driving in the fairway, his putting and self confidence in himself in a game introduced to him by his Dad, who believed in his son’s ability to play the game and be a great  golfer.

Not the longest driver of the ball by far but steady and long enough to be in the fairway most of the time mixed with mastery of the greens with his putter, he prevailed.  These key statistics along with his good iron play made the difference enough to win by one shot at the famed Pebble Beach layout.

It sure was good theatre and a great day to be with your Dad and win golf’s greatest tournament, our U.S. Open.

What I liked especially about this Irishmen was his resolve and determination to hang in there and make things happen.  He made up his mind and hit the golf shot in a decisive manner. Excellent  short game as well around the greens.

Golfers can learn from his routine and get into hitting shots with determination. Take dead aim and fire!

All for now and onto the Bristish Open at St. Andrews in Scotland for golf’s next and third major of the season.

Best,  Bob Cisco, The Golf Doctor
