• 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.

Davenport's Popson Moves Up in LPGA Qualifying Tournament

DAYTONA BEACH | Polk County's Erica Popson moved up to a tie for seventh after four rounds with a 5-under-par 67 Saturday in the LPGA Tour qualifying tournament.

The Davenport and former Ridge Community and University of Tennessee standout has a card of 71-70-71-67—279 so far. The tournament ends today. The top 20 will be fully exempt from qualifying for all LPGA tournaments next year.

Former Florida Southern College All-American Jackie Stoelting could also make the grade with another round like Saturday's. A 70-under 65 rocketed her from 96th place after a 79 Friday to a tie for 34th. She has shot 71-72-79-65—287.

Jaye Marie Green increased her lead to 9 strokes Saturday, reaching 25 under after four rounds.

The 19-year-old Green, from Boca Raton, had a bogey-free 5-under 67 on LPGA International's Hills Course. She was 29th on the Symetra Tour money list this year.

South Korea's Mi Rim Lee was second after a 69, also on the Hills Course. She had a course-record 61 on Friday on the Jones Course.

The top 20 after the final round Sunday will earn Category 12 status, Nos. 21-45 and ties will receive membership in Category 17, and the other players who made the 72-hole cut will get Symetra Tour status.

Tiffany Joh was third at 13 under after a 69 on the Hills Course. Amy Anderson was fourth at 11 under after a 70 on the Hills Course.

Cheyenne Woods, Tiger Woods' niece, missed the cut. She closed with a 73 on the Hills Course to tie for 102nd at 8 over.
