  • Charles Barkley Upset with Tiger Woods
    AZ Insider: Charles Barkley upset with Tiger Woods Written by Kathy Shayna Shocket "The AZ Insider" with Kathy Shayna Shocket: Get the inside scoop on Arizona's social scene and celebrity news. Although Tiger Woods has resurfaced publically since his extra marital affair scandal and whopping $110 million divorce settlement from his wife Elin– -- he hasn’t been palling around with his best basketball legend buddies Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. And now Sir Charles, who has a home in Scottsdale, is revealing that he hasn’t spoken with the golf star in two years, since the infamous car accident in Florida and the subsequent stories of infidelity, multiple mistresses, and sexy cell phone messages, etc. When Tiger changed his cell phone number after the Florida car crash, Charles was one of Tiger’s famous friends that weren’t given the new number. And Charles is upset and saddened that the friend he talked with at least once a week for 15 years has cut off contact. It seems the last straw for Charles was Tiger’s firing of caddie Steve Williams. Now, on the heels of Tiger getting ready to hit the greens of the Bridgestone Invitational, Charles talked to ESPN New York sports radio host Mike Lupica about his frustration. While he wishes Tiger "the best" with the Bridgestone Invitational, and said he will always love Woods like a brother, Barkley is saddened by the silence between the buddies. He uses the words “confused” and “disappointed”. "You think you're friends with a guy. You talk to him once a week for 15 years.

  • Presidents Welcome
    February 2016 PRESIDENTS WELCOME It is with great pleasure that I write my first article as your President for 2016. It is a great honour to serve the Club and I look forward to the year ahead. 2016 will be another big year for our Club. Again we host the Charles Tour Lawnmaster Classic from 15 th -20 th March. While I’m sure this will be a highly competitive tournament the highlight may well be off the course as we have secured Steve Williams as guest speaker for the Wednesday night dinner. Already this has proven to be a huge success as all the tables are sold. Late last year we released the Club’s new branding and along with an updated Course Strategic Plan which will result in continuing course improvements I am confident we will continue to be one of the leading clubs in the country. Undoubtedly the biggest change we face this year is the operation of the Pro Shop which the Club will take over from August 1. I can assure you that we are up to the challenge and am delighted that the Pro team have agreed to stay on board. Our membership numbers remain positive however we do need to look at all avenues and opportunities so that membership numbers for both genders continue to grow. Late last week the news came through that Josh Munn is turning professional and will be playing on the Australian and Chinese tours. Josh certainly did the Club proud as an amateur and I’m sure he will do the same as a professional.

  • Racist” Comment Against Tiger Woods
    CERS Working Paper University of Leeds Dispositions to ‘Race’ and Racism on the Internet: Online Reactions to a “Racist” Comment against Tiger Woods Kevin Hylton, Carnegie Research Institute, Leeds Metropolitan University [email protected] Abstract This article examines the rhetorical turns used to reveal dispositions to ‘race’ and racism by bloggers in response to an article written about an alleged racist incident in international golf. While on stage at an awards ceremony in Shanghai, Tiger Woods’ ex-caddie Steve Williams was asked to explain his emotional reaction to a golfer's tournament win. He told a room packed with leading golfers and tour officials, I wanted to shove it up that black arsehole. This paper examines the blog responses to the subsequent Associated Press article and cites how rhetorical devices are used to minimize concerns of racism and to further trivialize claims of racialised harm. The use of semantics, ambivalence, humour, mockery and practices of ignorance are identified as manifestations of online racism. Through the easy communication of dominant racialised values across real and virtual spaces notions of cyberspace as the last frontier of social equality are contested. 1 Dispositions to ‘Race’ and Racism on the Internet: Online Reactions to a “Racist” Comment against Tiger Woods Introduction While on stage at an awards ceremony in Shanghai on Friday, Williams was asked to explain his emotional reaction to a golfer's tournament win earlier this year - given that the caddie used to work for the former number one Woods.

    International Journal of Golf Science, 2016, 5, 98 -115 https://doi.org/10.1123/ijgs.2015-0016 © 2016 Human Kinetics, Inc. ARTICLE Promoting Performance and Satisfaction Through Quality Golfer-Caddie Relationships Sophia Jowett and Xinmiao Zhong Loughborough University This study investigated the quality and functions of the golfer-caddie relationship guided by the 3+1Cs model of two-person relationships. An interview schedule was used to generate qualitative data about the quality of the relationship including determinants and outcomes. Twelve independent golfers and caddies participated in the study. One-to-one interviews were conducted and content analysis was used to analyze the obtained data. The qualitative data highlighted that the relation- ship was a close one and often described as either friendship, marital, working or familial relationship. The relationship was underlined by affective closeness (trust, respect), thoughts of commitment (long-term orientation), behaviors that were complementarity (responsive, receptive), and co-orientated views (similar values). Communication was an active ingredient of the golfer-caddie relationship that kept it current. The findings of the study further supported a link between the quality of the golfer-caddie relationship and performance success.

  • The Pin Sheet – Volume 46 – July 10, 2014 WHAT's
    The Pin Sheet – Volume 46 – July 10, 2014 WHAT’S HAPPENING IN GOLF British Open Preview: McIlroy Seeks First Claret Jug, Woods Fourth The last time the Open Championship was played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in 2006, the conditions looked more like West Texas in July than the northwest coast of England. Temperatures soared into the 90s, the lush green grassed links replaced by brown fescue and hard, baked-out fairways. During a practice round the week before the championship, Tiger Woods reportedly hit his first two tee shots into some fairway pot bunkers. Forced to play each out sideways, he adopted a much more conservative strategy off the tee for the actual tournament, hitting his patented 2-iron “stinger” (see below’s “TOURAcademy Tip of the Week” for how to play) off the tee to take the bunkers out of play. Woods hit his driver only once—in the first round—a strategy that paid off handsomely with his second Open Championship in as many years and third overall. Woods, often hitting his approach shots from 50 or more yards behind his playing partners, still shot a blazing 18-under-par (67-65-71-67--270) for a two- stroke victory over Chris DiMarco. The enduring image of that championship, however, was not so much the heat or dry, firm conditions, but rather an emotional Woods burying his head in the shoulder of his caddie Steve Williams after the final putt. It was Woods’ first major triumph since his beloved father Earl passed away just two months earlier.

  • Challenge, Vol. 14, No. 1
    Mukenge: <i>Challenge</i>, Vol. 14, No. 1 Challenge 61 The Black Golf Caddy: A Victim of Labor Market Discrimination Wornie Reed1 University of Tennessee-Knoxville Abstract For generations, country clubs and the Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour featured white golfers crossing manicured fairways, followed by black caddies carrying their bags. Now most clubs rely on golf carts; and pros on the PGA Tour are attended by highly paid white caddies. The transformation of the golf world has mirrored larger shifts in the American workplace, in which the increased status and increased earnings of skilled work have been accompanied by a de facto “push out” of black workers. In the 1960s, the Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour began being more popular and more profitable. Many observers credit this development during this period to Arnold Palmer’s charismatic, swashbuckling style of play and to the growth of televised golf. The increased popularity of the sport involved wide scale marketing of golf’s big three – Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player. By end of the 1960s, Lee Trevino was added to the mix, making the big four. Golf caddying was becoming a respected profession, as the caddies for the big four became famous in their own right. These caddies were Ernest “Creamy” Carolan, Angelo Argea, Afred “Rabbit” Dyer, and Herman Mitchell, caddies respectively for Palmer, Nicklaus, Player, and Trevino. Since at the time most caddies were black, it is not surprising that two of the four – Dyer and Mitchell – were African American. The 1960s and 1970s launched the glory years for caddying, as caddies benefited from the increasing popularity and hence increasing money prizes available in professional tournament golf.
