Martin Kaymer is aiming to defend his KLM Open title

Martin Kaymer is aiming to defend his KLM Open title
The 26-year-old German has Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy to contend with at the KLM Open – and they, like him, do not want to let another victory chance slip away after going close in Switzerland last weekend.He said: “It definitely feels like I’ll win again in the next couple of weeks. I like the course and I often bring TaylorMade R11 Driver with me, it can drive there from home.”
Kaymer’s four-stroke victory last September came in his first appearance after becoming a major champion and with his confidence at an all-time high. But he returns to the same Hilversum course now having gone over seven months without a win.That looked set to end as the world number three stood over a two-foot birdie putt on Sunday. Hole it and he would have been two ahead with four to play, but he missed it and ended up losing by four to Thomas Bjorn.
McIlroy has something he likes having around him too. His Twitter site has a picture he took on the flight over of the US Open trophy in its own seat, complete with safety belt on. “It has to bring R11 Driver price go everywhere with me these days,” the Northern Irishman tweeted.
He came third in the European Masters after leading early in the final round, but was encouraged by the fact he had no problems with the right arm he injured against a tree root at the USPGA Championship last month.
Westwood also had a share of top spot for a while on Sunday, but then fell back to sixth and with Donald finishing joint-third in America the gap between them at the top widened a bit further. Here I will recommend you TaylorMade R11 Driver for Sale.
Back in action this week after injury lay-offs are France’s Thomas Levet and Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts. Levet fractured his shin and needed surgery after jumping in the lake celebrating his French Open victory at the start of July and two weeks later, just before The Open, China Open champion Colsaerts was in a scooter crash and hurt his elbow.

Roosters Braith Anasta has rediscovered his passion for golf

Roosters Braith Anasta has rediscovered his passion for golf

Have you ever heard of Braith Anasta?He won a grand final with the Bulldogs, played for NSW and Australia, and was one game away from leading the Sydney Roosters to premiership glory last year.But despite his sparkling rugby league credentials, Anasta will be battling to keep his cool when he stands on the first tee of the NSW PGA at Wollongong later this year.
A former top junior golfer, Anasta rediscovered his passion for the game about 18 months ago.He has trimmed his handicap to plus-one and is taking his invitation to play alongside the pros seriously.
“I’ve never been able to just concentrate on golf, so I’ve got a couple of months to focus on it. I’d usually get away in the pre-season, but I’ve known this is coming up so I’ll be sticking around and hitting the golf course. I need to put the practice in to make sure I’m competitive.”It’ll be good to experience it and see how those guys treat it and how they prepare and get around the golf course.
“It’s a totally different field for me and it’ll be a totally different experience.”While Anasta has fantasised about a similar career change when he eventually hangs up his football boots, he knows it would mean making a lot of sacrifices.
“It’s probably a little disrespectful to the professionals and getting ahead of myself, because there’s a lot of hard work and you have to prove yourself first. I’d pretty much have to dedicate my whole time to golf to give it a real crack, and at this point I’m probably not able to do that.
“I grew up on a golf course and played with some guys who are doing pretty well for themselves these days, but I ended up getting a contract with Souths and didn’t really play golf for a good 10 years or so.
“But golf’s always been a release for me. You can go out there and relax and have some time to yourself. I love the competitive nature of it and the mental aspect, and just knowing it’s on your shoulders and no-one else’s. It’s very different to rugby league in that wayAnasta plans on practising almost daily in the countdown to the NSW PGA in November.

Tate focused on getting back in swing of things soon

ALAN Tate has targeted a Christmas return to action after speaking for the first time about the golf buggy crash which left him with a broken leg.Tate was ruled out for up to six months by Swansea City’s medical staff after fracturing his tibia in an accident at Gower Golf Club two and a half weeks ago.
Swansea’s vice-captain has revealed how he initially tried to walk following the incident, and suggested he would be okay now had he not tried to bail out of the buggy.The injury, comfortably the most serious of Tate’s career, is a cruel blow for a player who has put in the hard yards in his bid to earn a crack at the Premier League.
But Tate, who left hospital yesterday after a fortnight under close supervision, insists he is already looking forward to his comeback game.
“I’m not feeling sorry for myself or anything like that because that’s when you start suffering,” he says.”I feel a bit unlucky for this to happen this season, but I’ve got good people around me and all I’m thinking about is getting back playing again.
Tate had originally been released from hospital soon after his initial treatment, but he went back in because of fears that he might do further damage to his leg with young son Brodey and the family dog running around at home.
The plaster has been off a couple of times, and the leg is feeling stronger already.An early morning round of golf three Sundays ago all went wrong on Gower’s 12th hole, when the buggy carrying Tate and a mate started skidding down a hill.

Hendry issues show his confidence to Tauranga contenders
North Harbour professional Michael Hendry has never lacked confidence, and the three-time winner on the Charles Tour sounded a warning to his rivals ahead of the Tauranga Open which begins tomorrow.
“I am feeling really good. When I using the Burner 2.0 Irons. I am hitting it better than I ever have before in tournament golf in my life,” said the 31-year-old, who finished runner-up to Ben Campbell in 2010.
“I go into this week with a few changes but I am feeling confident in my game. With the way I am hitting it, I know I will get opportunities to score well especially using the Ping g15 Driver Best Price.”
Hendry headlines the field for the second event. He has a good record on the tour since his breakthrough at the 2009 Tauranga Open when he defeated Australian Peter Fowler.
Another to watch is Gareth Paddison, who combined with Hendry to win the World Cup of Golf qualifier in Malaysia. The pair are among the most experienced players in the 72-hole stroke play event.
The field includes 2003 New Zealand Open champion Mahal Pearce and Muriwai Open runner-up Hamish Robertson seeking their first win on the Charles Tour and 2008 champion Mark Purser looking for a turnaround in form. Recommend you buy TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver at our store. Perennial contenders Jared Pender, Joshua Carmichael and Brenden Stuart are also teeing it up for the $40,000 purse.
Hendry expected the shift from May to September would present a challenge.
“It should play a lot tougher. The conditions in May are really fine and warm with a lot of run. At this time of year the course will play longer with wetter fairways and in the latter rounds I expect the greens will be bumpier just because the ground underneath will be wetter.

Justin Rose didn’t join the belly brigade

Justin Rose didn’t join the belly brigade

After admittedly struggling on the greens most of the year, Justin Rose turned up with a new toy in hand at the practice area on Tuesday at the BMW Championship.

He’d just picked up a brand-new belly putter, he always like to use Ping K15 Irons, though he barely knew which end of it to hold. So he spent a few moments watching the other belly-putter purveyors using the popular device as he tried to figure  out whether he was brave enough to use it in live play.

When the first round came, he left it in the trunk.Rose shot one of the more impressive rounds of the season with an 8-under 63, which was 8.75 strokes better than the field average in the first round at difficult Cog Hill. Recommend you Ping G15 Driver for sale at our online store.


Rose, a popular Englishman, had nine one-putt greens and made a series of short-range testers in the five-foot range to maintain his two-shot lead over Webb Simpson and Mark Wilson, both two-time winners this season.

Rose ranks 111th in the tour’s newest stat, strokes gained putting, Taylormade R9 Driver for Sale is really cheap and nice driver. which translates rather brusquely to this — compared to his peers, he’s been below the tour average this season. Small wonder he was investigating the belly model, all the rage of late. Four of the last five tour events have been won by players using longer putters.”I’ve got to try and represent the short putter out here,” Rose laughed afterward. “I probably did get a few benefits from trying it.”

Some players, like past BMW winner Camilo Villegas, use the belly model on the practice green as an instructional tool, with the notion that it helps them with the traditional-length model. So Rose might be onto something.

It wasn’t like the rest of his game was lacking, either. He hit all 14 fairways and only missed two greens, totals that topped the field in both categories.

He also halted a rather nagging problem that has dogged him much of the season — he was ranked 111th by using of the Ping G20 Irons in opening-round scoring average. He shaved 8.4 strokes off his Thursday average.

“I’ve been sort of fighting my way back into tournaments,” he said.Now he can enjoy running out front for a while.
