Golf Pga Grand Slam Stays in Bermuda for 2008

For the second consecutive year the Island of Bermuda will host one of the most exclusive golf tournaments since it receives the winners of the sport’s four major tournaments: Masters, U.S. Open, PGA Championship and the British Open. The best golf players of the world will face each other in the PGA Grand Slam final, a 36 whole stroke play event with a 1.35 million price.
The tournament that began in 1979 has been hosted in New York, Minnesota, Florida, Illinois, California and finally Hawaii where it has stayed for the past 12 years before moving outside the US to Mid Ocean Club in the Island of Bermuda last year.
Since sports play an integral role in the country’s development, the Island of Bermuda’s golfers and its business community, mostly known for being a dream destination, are obviously motivated about the PGA Grand Slam of Golf’s to be hosted in their country in 2008. Nevertheless the selection is definitely not casual; the Mid Ocean Club in Bermudas has been ranked in the #45 position by Golf Digest for courses outside the United States and last year Grand Slam was more than successful.
The tournament is considered as one of the most important in golf and it is televised to a worldwide audience (100 countries) by TNT and Golf Channel, which means an economic shot for the host country. Actually, this year winner (Angel Cabrera) received $600,000 while second, third and fourth places got $300,000, $250,000, $200,000 respectively. However, the prize money did not counted towards the PGA Tour money list.
Getting a spot in the Grand Slam is not an easy task. The field is typically reserved to the year’s four major champions. Past winners include: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, Tom Lehman, Ben Crenshaw, Greg Norman, Nick Price and Ian Woosnam.
The famous Tiger Woods, seven times winner of the Grand Slam was absent of this year tournament due to the recent birth of his daughter. Even thought, the event attracted around 7,000 golf fans. Hopefully, we all will be able to see the golf star next year at Mid Ocean Club. However, Bermudas is now set as a world class golf destination, and the dream of growing through the sport seems to turn into reality for the Island.

Great video!5*
Nice music and painting!
Beautiful video!
dont listen to tommy he doesnt know what he is talking about. however you are behind (i know of kids your age who are already shooting underpar). but dont let that get you down because alot of people peak at different ages. vijay didnt become a star until he was in his mid 40's. im 24 and i was a 6 when i was your age then when i was 20 i became a 10 and now i am a 2 nearly anywhere i play so your chance isnt gone.
If you can get sponsors it would be alot easier for you to enter Q school. it is very expensive so if your parents are gonna pay for it then you better be serious since it can cost up to 4-8 grand per qualifying round depending where you are.
this is another option to help you get sponsors. try to qualify for the U.S. amatuer matchplay tournament to get noticed or get your handicap to a 2 or lower and try to qualify for the U.S. Open. sure if you qualify you are still playing the tournament as an amateur and not eligible to win the tournament purse, however it is a good way to get your name out there and maybe someone will sponsor you for Q school.
anyways dont worry about that now. right now your only concern is getting yourself in shape physically and mentally and try to get at least 4 hours of practice a day and see a professional teacher to learn how to practice the right way. or else you will just be another young talent wacking golf balls on the range.
good luck bro.
Alot because you have several detractors….
-Phil will be standing back & looking at the light bulb and asking Bones what he thinks for many minutes before it actually gets changed
-Sergio will grip the light bulb and then regrip it several times before he actually turns it
-Furyk will step up to help change it and then back off several times
-Daly will be too darn drunk to help at all
-Vijay will have to practice for hours before hand because his form in the chnaging of the bulb will be a little off
-Padraig will show up to help because Tiger's not there
-Adam Scott will get there but then choke on the last turn and won't be any help at all
Then AK comes in and just changes the damn thing himself….
Haha!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Today is the 2nd day into it. The BMW Championship ends tomorrow.
i love the music and also the painting
If you have a very low handicap (usually 2 or below) you can apply to try and qualify for different tournaments including the US Open. Check out this link

that was beautiful. i loved the music especially. it fit the whole painting wonderfully. they both complemented and sympathized each other in perfetct harmony. one of my favorites.
I don't know the exact score or the player's name but it occurred when a players marker wrote the back nine total in the square for the eighteenth hole and the player just looked at the front and back nine totals before signing the card. The rule is that a player is responsible for the score on each hole and if a higher score is entered for a hole it stands and if a lower score is posted it results in disqualification. In this case the player signed for a 36 on the eighteenth hole and wound up with a score of about 103 instead of 72.
