Devised by Dougray and Dan Davies and designed to raise money for Leuka, the charity that raises ...

A Scream of a Time at the Mayfair

And so to the rooftop of the Mayfair Hotel where this year's Leuka Mini Masters Golf tournament was launched in typically lavish fashion aided by mohitos, jagermeisters and champagne.   Hollywood actor Dougray Scott (Enigma, Mission IMpossible II etc etc) was the host and in good form as he took hi...

Lunch with the Full Monty

There I was, minding my own business eating lunch at the London Golf Club the other day, when a recognisable face plonked his plate next to mine, said hello, and started to chat.   It was Colin Montgomerie, someone I'd been trying to track down all day at the Golf Live event at the beautiful course...

South Africa, the latest Golfing Power

Another golf major passes and, for all the big names scenting victory down the back nine another, little known South African beats the lot of them. Step forward Charl Schwartzel, the 2011 US Masters winner, who made the most of Rory Mcilroy's horrific self-destruction to storm ahead of all the more ...

Here at the WGC-Cadillac Golf Championship at the famous Doral course in Miami the hottest ticket in town is strutting his stuff and being followed everywhere by adoring fans desperate for an autograph or a photo.

Westwood Needs That Major For True Golfing Greatness

Sportsvibe congratulates Lee Westwood on becoming the world number one ranked golfer, taking over from the great but much troubled Tiger Woods.   It is quite an achievement for the likeable, Nottingham Forest supporting stalwart of the European Tour, a former Order of Merit winner, of course, and a ...

Captain, My Ryder Cup Captain!

Captain, my Captain. Yes, it is a line from Walt Whitman's poem following the murder of President Abraham Lincoln and one used to great effect in the Robin Williams film, "Dead Poet's Society."   But it is also a line that the cream of European golf can use as they look ahead to the next three or ev...

Messy Night Ahead for Monty's Wonderful European Ryder Cup Team.

If the Ryder Cup was played every month golf might just become the most popular sport in the world.   After yet another day of high drama at Celtic Manor Europe came through by the narrowest of margins and all 12 men in captain Colin Montgomerie's team played their part, but the heroes of today in t...

Pricking a Golfing Conscience? No Chance This Time!

Another Ryder Cup is almost upon us and, so far, the US captain has not referred to his European counterpart as a "prick."   That's what Paul Azinger did two years' ago in reference to Nick Faldo. I should know because he was being interviewed by me at the time sitting in the foyer of a plush hotel ...
