PGA Tour Has Banned My YouTube Video “Dustin Johnson's Swing in Biz Hub Swing Vision Style Slow Motion”. I Made It Myself In Adare, Ireland!!!
Update: I just received this message from Lauren in the PGA Tour. All is now well again:
Dear Donal,
Thank you for your note today. I apologize that the Dustin Johnson video remained on our take-down list and was claimed through the YouTube copyright yesterday. We have retracted this claim this morning and the original video should be back on your channel in a timely manner. It is our intention to protect our media rights when we issue copyright notice, like the one I originally sent you in June of this year. Unfortunately, Sky Sports does not have the rights to allow for PGA TOUR tournament video to be duplicated or shared on YouTube or other public video channels. Between the PGATOUR.COM video archives and the PGA TOUR YouTube channel, we are able to provide fans, media and bloggers like yourself a large video archive that can be embedded on your sites and shared with your friends. I encourage you to use these videos on your website going forward. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
The PGA Tour last night took down my 115,000 plus hit video “Dustin Johnson's swing in Biz Hub Swing Vision Style Slow Motion with golfcentraldaily” claiming infringement of copyright. Only thing is, I made the video on the tenth tee in Adare Manor at the 2010 JP McManus Pro Am with Dustin Johnson’s permission. I have filled out the online retraction form, but hold little hope of getting it back. Pretty gutted, I’m just trying to bring a bit of fun to the world of golf. What can I do, when gagged by the PGA Tour?

Sweet Auburn: Dufner Gets Surprise Cheer. By Men!!
On his way from the PGA Championship to this weeks Tour stop at Sedgefield, Jason Dufner popped into his old stomping ground Auburn University to say hello to some of his old football coaches who asked him to stop by. Apparently Jason got quite a surprise when he was lead into one of the auditoriums.
Instead of having the famous Auburn cheerleaders there to greet him, imagine Dufner’s surprise when he was met with a room full of 20 stone American Footballer linebackers and tight ends.
"The whole team was in there, and they gave me a standing ovation," Dufner said. “You wouldn't expect a 320-pound defensive lineman to be watching golf on Sunday, but they were. And for the coaches to take time out of their meetings and practice on Sunday saying, 'We were checking text messages, watching when we could,' that was a pretty neat experience for me."
Ya right Jason, but on a brave face. Everyone knows you have to win to meet the cheerleaders.

Monty Takes Pity On Tiger And Offers Him Euro Invite. Aw Bless

Is Colin Montgomerie trying to be Tiger's new best friend? The Sky Sports golf ANALyst has suggested that he might be able to facilitate Tiger Woods playing in some European Tour events now that he has missed the Fed Ex Cup playoffs. “I’ve asked him as I have invitations available,” Montgomerie told an English newspaper. “We haven’t had a reply yet. Tiger looks like he’s going to have nowhere to play for nearly three months. “It would be superb if he accepted. I know he has his children to think about, and all that sort of stuff that goes with family commitments, but wouldn’t it be great if he did say yes to any of our European Tour events? If you don’t ask, you don’t get, so it’s worth a go.” Methinks now that the World thinks Monty is offering Woods the equivalent of charity in public, the likelihood of this is like spitting against the wind. That reminds me.......

2011 Wyndham Championship Betting Preview and Tips – PGA Tour
odds from Stan James
also check out my 2011 Czech Open Tips here
Webb Simpson 20/1
Last week Webb Simpson missed the cut at the PGA Championship but don’t let that put you off. The 2007 Walker Cupper has banked nearly $2 million already this year, thanks in part to being inside the top 16 in six of his last seven events. Simpson has already finished second at the Transitions and Zurich Classic this season and but for a sloppy third round 71 here last year, would surely have been in the shakeup. bet nowBrandt Snedeker 25/1
You know I was kind of hoping that Brandt Snedeker might miss the cut at the PGA Championship because the man must be exhausted. I make it he has played 21 events already this season. Winner of the Heritage in April and played some solid golf in May and June, the question is does Snedeker have the enthusiasm to rally yet again this season? If he is to turn in another big performance, Greensboro is the place. Having won here in 2007, Sned had gone to play here in 2009 tying fifith and last year when he tied eighth. bet nowDavid Toms 12/1
The Indian Summer continued for David Toms when he returned to a longer Atlanta Athletic Club where he won in a past life and almost did it again. His 65, 67 at the weekend was exceptional and vaulted him into a tie for fourth. Toms broke a run of mediocre form to finish second here last year to Arjun Atwal. It all leads us to believe that if he brings his form back this week, it could make for a second season win. bet nowCarl Pettersson 50/1
I’ve been keeping a wee eye on Carl this season and I have to say he’s a very impressive operator. My initial appraisal that he was a streaky player has been proven false. Since the Heritage back in April, the Swede has only been outside the top 40 twice in 11 events, first at The Memorial, then at the Canadian Open where he was defending only to find they had grown the rough! No such worries this week at Greensboro where it’s really a big putting competition. Carl to contend. bet nowBrendan de Jonge 35/1
South African deJonge looked a force early in the season at The Transitions but faded until a recent rally starting at the John Deere where he top tenned. Went on to play well at the Viking Classic and had his best result tying fourth at the Greenbrier Classic. Top 30 at the PGA last week, and putting well, may be worth an each way flutter. bet nowFit and Able Week 16: Lag Putting Drill
With top Irish PGA pro John Kelly of St. Margarets and Harrington Golf. To book a session call John on 086-8155248.
When most golfers practice, they focus on hitting shots. But putting accounts for so many shots during a round, it should not be overlooked. Here’s a great lag putting drill to do on the practice putting green. Before you start mark a three feet circle around the hole with tees or coins. Come back about 30 feet from the hole and with five balls, practice putting to within the three foot circle.
From 30 feet away we don’t expect to hole the putt but what we really want is to eliminate the possibility of three putting. Generally speaking it’s the pace of the putt that causes the three putt. With your first ball learn the line, get the feel, use your eyes. When you have hit all five balls, count how many are within the circle. Then do the same drill from the opposite side of the hole.
Practicing this drill regularly will greatly improve your lag putting.

Oh My God is that the Time? See ya Tiger!
He’s back fully fit and playing but the endorsement contracts just keep slipping away from Tiger Woods. The latest to call time on a Woods contract is Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer who ended their 10 relationship last week. Chief executive Jean-Christophe Babin said in a statement the company is "confident that Tiger will eventually regain full trust with the public" and that Woods has "huge talent and mental strength (which) will help him overcome his difficulties." Tag Heuer had actually stopped using Woods in December 2009, just weeks after revelations about his marital problems began to emerge.
Nice Touch From Norman
Poor old Tim Clark hasn’t been able to play hardly at all this year due to an injury to his left elbow, but he will be going to the President’s Cup. Not as a player, but as a vice captain. Cup Captain Greg Norman invited Tim to assist him at the event which starts on November 17th in Royal Melbourne Australia. Ironically Clark, ninth in the standings, still holds an automatic qualification position!

Charl Schwartzel is the 2011 Ultimate Major Champion
Fair play to golf writer Ryan Ballangee who spent all night on his calculator figuring out who would have won if all four majors were combined this year. It’s South African Charl Schwartzel who was one of only 11 players to play all four rounds in every major. He finished with a total of 14 under par. Check out the top five:
- Charl Schwartzel, 274-280-285-279–1118
- Steve Stricker, 283-283-283-279–1128 (no surprise there)
- Sergio Garcia, 288-279-282-279–1128 (bet you didnt expect that)
- Y.E. Yang, 284-278-285-292–1132
- Ryan Palmer, 282-284-289-280–1135

Peter Lawrie 22/1
![lawrie castleknock[2]](http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Q5I8xGxG7sY/TklnCyIaNHI/AAAAAAAAFig/1jaebwV-9n4/s1600-h/lawrie%252520castleknock%25255B2%25255D%25255B3%25255D.jpg "lawrie castleknock[2]")
The Celadna course this week should really suit Peter Lawrie who seems to be right in form following his tied eighth finish at the Irish Open. Lawrie started the final round eight shots off the lead here last year but raced up the leaderboard with a 66. That got him into a playoff with Gary Boyd and Peter Hanson which Hanson won. With the champion not defending, the Dubliner must fancy his chances.bet nowGary Boyd 28/1
Gary missed the first five cuts in his rookie season in 2010 but rallied and had his best finish here at the Czech Open, losing a playoff. Consistency over four rounds is the key for Boyd, his 25th place in Ireland included a second round 64. Tied for second a few weeks back at the Italian Open. Can his 55th Tour event this week bring his first win?bet nowThorbjorn Olesen 30/1
In his 25 events on Tour to date Thorbjorn Olesen has had three second place finishes at the Alfred Dunhill, the Italian Open and the Open de France. Tied 15th last time out in Killarney. The young Dane is known to his friends as Jacob but changed his name to Thorbjorn as it was less common. Both might be on the trophy Sunday night. bet nowJeev Milka Singh 25/1
Anyone who has been in the presence of Jeev will know he is a very classy gent. His father Milkha Singh was an Olympic sprinter and Jeev has followed in his footsteps as a top sportsman becoming the first Indian to play on the European Tour. Seems to be the man in form having tied sixth in Sweden and tied 11th in Ireland. bet nowAnthony Wall 25/1
It has been 11 years since Wall’s one and only European Tour win at the Alfred Dunhill but he remains one of the most consistent earners on the circuit. Those around him believe another win is not far away having come so very close in Sicily back in March. His fourth at the event last year just added to the £6 million he has banked in his 13 years on Tour. bet nowIgnacio Garrido 40/1
Now a Tour veteran at 39, the Spaniard remains an excellent Touring professional. Both Ignacio and his dad Antonio have played on the European Ryder Cup Team. A real crowd favourite he tied for fifth at the Irish Open and has a bit of history on this course having come fourth in 2009. Ignacio always wears long sleeves on the course! His dad used to receive long and short sleeved shirts from his sponsors on Tour and gave Ignacio all the long sleeved ones he didn’t like.bet now

First Keegan Bradley Sex Scandal As Parents Revealed
It has been a whirlwind ride for the newest Major Champion Keegan Bradley since his PGA win. Several offers have come flooding in including:
- an offer to be Tiger Woods new caddy
- an offer to be Charlie’s replacement in Two and a Half Men
- an offer to be the Republican US Presidential candidate
- an offer to be the Irish Presidential candidate
- and offer to advertise some dodgy Chinese back rub called Vantolin Kowa!
One rumour that Bradley’s management company will quickly have to quell is that of his parentage, which is incredibly disturbing. It is thought Kevin Keegan and Michael Bradley may have fostered the lovechild following a chance meeting in an upmarket London beauty, where Keegan was receiving a hair perm and Bradley was having an all over tan applied.
