Just wanted to get something running for Golf fans.

I know its not the coolest sport in the world, but I love it, and I can't wait for it to get dryer so I can hit the course.

Does anyone think a European will win a major this year? I think the closest we will get is from either Luke Donald, or Monty.

Don't forget, Tigers baby is due in june/July, so he may miss the Open and/or the US open. Shame that he may not be playing, but a European may have a chance without him breathing down their necks.

Is anyone going away to play golf this year?
I've just booked Albufeira in Portugal for April the 19th for 4 days.

I've never played mate but I'd like to. Any pointers/ books I should get?

A pro will help you more than any book. Good ones are incredible.

But good books:

Anything by Dave Pelz. Short game bible and I think the putting bible.

Anything by David Leadbetter. He really knows his stuff, and works with the best players on earth. He also has a few good DVD's out, and a device called a swingsetter, which instills the correct swing mechanics in you. I use it with my Pro.

Butch Harmon and Hank Haney have a few books and DVD's out too.

www.golfdigest.com is a good starting point too.
