• Bubba Watson

    Bubba Watson is known for doing things differently, like having a pink shaft in his driver, firing golf balls through water melons and being one quarter of the golf boy band “The Golf Boys.”

  • Golf Insurance Matters

    The latest article in our how to series turns the spotlight on some of the unexpected things that can happen at the driving range – from ricochets to self-inflicted injuries – and why it pays to be insured. With winter closing in and less daylight hours in which to hit the course the best place to keep swinging is at the driving range. The driving range is a great hangout for golfers of all skill levels and abilities. Given that your local driving range could be filled with hackers and heroes it’s not impossible that an innocent trip to whack some balls could end in disaster, injury or a sizeable legal bill.

  • La Reservae Golf Club, Costa Del Sol

    A new course designed by Cabell B. Robinson, La Reserva Club De Golf had only recently opened but I would never have guessed. On arrival it was obvious the course was in perfect condition. The opening hole at La Reserva is a straight par four with well designed bunkers and an attractive green – a good, if understated opener, but on the 2nd tee, however, the front nine opens up before you and you get an idea of the challenge that lies ahead. Set out in a small valley with wonderful changes in elevation, attractive contours and great scenery, the next eight holes weave back in forth in fantastic fashion.

  • Lie of the Land

    A caddie at The Old Course at St Andrews, Turnberry or Troon would tell you that it takes time to get to know the subtleties and nuances of links land and learn the bounce of the ball. Often slopes and natural features can funnel the ball towards the hole, squeeze extra yards from a drive or prevent a ball from going in a hazard.

  • Thorpenes Golf Club

    TA Hotel Collection, owners of Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club in Suffolk, are seeking to attract more golf tourists to the county with the launch of a new trail combining real ale tours and classic seaside golf courses.

Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor in good spot at Q school

A four-under 68 Monday put Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor in great position to earn exempt status on the 2014 Web.com Tour.

Taylor stands tied for 14th place heading into Tuesday’s final round of the 108-hole Web.com Tour qualifying school in La Quinta, Calif.

The top 45 and ties after Tuesday’s final round will be exempt through the tour’s first two reshuffles. The Web.com Tour reshuffles its exempt list after every four tournaments based on money earned.

If Taylor could move into the top 10 after Tuesday’s final round, he would be exempt through the first three reshuffles, guaranteeing him at least the first 12 starts of the 2014 season.

Taylor, the former world’s top-ranked amateur player. stands at 14-under par through five rounds at the Stadium and Nicklaus courses at PGA West. He is the only one of six B.C. players at Q school currently inside the top 45.

Justin Shin of Maple Ridge and Merritt’s Roger Sloan are tied for 52nd spot at eight-under par. They both fired even-par 72s on Monday.

Devin Carrey moved into a tie for 62nd at seven-under par after shooting a 70 on Monday.

Riley Wheeldon of Comox shot 72 Monday and is tied for 127th at three-over par. Wheeldon is exempt through the first reshuffle by virtue of finishing second on the PGA Canada money list this year. He came to Q school hoping to improve that position.

North Vancouver’s Eugene Wong is tied for 132nd at four-over par after shooting a 73 on Monday.

Ontario residents Cam Burke and Albin Choi are both in good shape heading into Tuesday’s final round. Burke is alone in 11th spot at 16-under, while Choi is one shot back in a tie for 12th spot.
