With the British Open or The Open Championship as it is commonly referred to overseas this week we thought we’d treat everyone with a little southern love. Geoff Ogilvy isn’t a golfer tearing up the golf world right now and he’s actually been in a bit of a funk the last few years. Geoff Ogilvy’s wife Juli Ogilvy, however, never appears to be in a funk. While Geoff is from Australia, his wife Juli is…
Is there anyone out there surprised when they see Ernie sniffing the leader board of a major championship? Since he won the PGA Tour rookie of the year in 1994, Ernie has always been a threat to win any tournament he enters. Shocking that The Big Easy is only 42, I would have guessed he’d be closer to 50 than 40. Probably the only thing steadier than his golf game is Ernie Els’ wife Leizl…
Michael Thompson’s wife Rachel Thompson was with him after the US Open as he waited in the clubhouse to see if his +2 score would stand. Rachel graduated from Emory University and is a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Rachel met Michael while the two attended Tulane University (Michael would later tranfer to University of Alabama when Tulane disbanded their golf team in the wake of Hurricane Katrina). After shooting a first round leading four under…
People in general love a good underdog story. So seeing 17-year old Beau Hossler rise towards the top of the US Open was obvioulsy a huge story. People couldn’t get enough. But you know what people like more than a good underdog story? A good underdog with a hot mom. Beau Hossler’s mom Amy Balsz was shown briefly on TV yesterday and the Internet blew up. “Amy Balsz” was a trending topic on Twitter almost…
There are many occasions when writing posts for the site that I wish I’d tried a little harder at sports when I was younger. Not that I’m doing all that bad in the ladies department myself but imagine what I could have done with a little more athletic ability. Case in point is Mr. David Toms. Now I’m not saying David isn’t an attractive man. I’ll let the ladies that read this site be the…
Jim Furyk’s wife Tabitha Skartved has also been a steady presence in his life since 2000 when the couple married. Thanks in part to Tabitha’s impact on his life, you won’t find a more consistant and steady golfer on the PGA tour than Jim Furyk. Since 1995, when Jim notched his first PGA Tour win, we have come to expect Jim to be hanging around the leader board of any tournament he enters, including majors….
07/27/2012: Well, appears we were behind on the resume. Kristin Stape has infact owned her own design company since 2010, and is not affiliated with Soco Interiors. Thanks to the reader for the heads up (and the note was left unsigned, we’re not just refusing credit). While the Masters is played in April golf doesn’t truly pick up steam until June when the US Open starts a run of 3 majors and the Ryder Cup…
