This Week in Golf -- November 3rd through November 6th

The WGC-HSBC Champions event is unofficial on the PGA Tour, but would count as an official win if a PGA Tour member wins it. (Got it?) It is an official European Tour event and that's the only race still ongoing.

Luke Donald has a big lead in the Race to Dubai, aka the European Tour Order of Merit. He won the PGA Tour money title thanks to his season-ending win in Disney World.

Donald, the world No. 1, can become the first player to win the money title on both tours in one season. Despite a third at this event last year, Donald won't be on hand come Thursday.

Donald's wife is expected to give birth to the couple's second child any day, so Donald withdrew last week, citing his responsibilities as a husband and a father.Burners and taylormade burner are also another category of TaylorMade drivers. And if you've had your fill of clubs and drivers, TaylorMade also sells golf balls and other related accessories

Yes, Donald finished third in 2010, but it was a distant third.

Francesco Molinari and Lee Westwood ran away from the field and it was Molinari who outlasted his Ryder Cup teammate en route to his biggest win to date.

Both are in the field this week, as are all four major champions - Masters winner Charl Schwartzel, U.S. Open champion and winner last week in Shanghai, Rory McIlroy, Open Champion Darren Clarke and PGA Championship victor Keegan Bradley.

Donald won this year's first WGC event, the Accenture Match Play Championship, but the other two WGC winners are in the field this week.

Nick Watney, who captured the WGC - Cadillac Championship, and Adam Scott, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational titlist, are both teeing it up on Thursday morning.

Criteria for entry is tough, but history could be made on Sunday.

For the first time in golf history, there's a chance the season could end with all four major champions and all four World Golf Championships winners being first-timers.

Golf Channel has live coverage all week.

Monday is the ADT Skills Challenge, won last year by Mark O'Meara and Nick Price. Also, at the beginning of the week is the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge, which was won by Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson and Boo Weekley last year.

CHAMPIONS TOUR

CHARLES SCHWAB CUP CHAMPIONSHIP - TPC Harding Park, San Francisco, California - This is the season-ender for the Champions Tour and so much is yet to be determined.

In an event reserved for the top 30 on the Champions Tour money list, Tom Lehman is the leader in the season-long race for the Charles Schwab Cup and its $1 million annuity, which will be awarded at the end of the championship.

There are only four players with a chance to catch Lehman for that year-long title. Mark Calcavecchia, Peter Senior, John Cook and Russ Cochran can catch Lehman and their chances vary with Calcavecchia in second and Cochran in fifth.

Golf Just An Average Outing For Malaysian Pros

It was just an average outing for two Malaysian professional golfers in the opening round of the CIMB Asia Pacific Classic, which was held at The Mines Resort and Golf Club in Seri Kembangan, near here.

After completing today's first round, Malaysia's top ranked player, Danny Chia shared 33rd position after posting an even-par 71, while Shaaban Hussin was in joint 41st position with a one-over-par 72.

"Obviously, I am not not satisfied. I would have been happier if I did not mess up on those two holes," said the 39-year-old Chia, when met at the competition venue Thursday.

In his first-nine, Chia dropped a double-bogey at par-4 fourth hole and later a triple-bogey in the next hole but managed to recover with three birdies on the sixth, seventh and ninth holes.

"I need to stop making triple and double bogeys! If you hit the ball good on this course, you will have a lot of birdies. I may have a different strategy on the tee box," said Chia, adding that he was too aggressive with his tee shots. He noted that he was nervous in the beginning because he did not know what to expect.

"In fact, I lost concentration for the first few holes but managed to play well throughout the round," said Chia.

Meanwhile Shaaban, who is making his second appearance in this competition, struggled at the beginning of his game.

"I missed a lot of greens. Luckily, my putting was good and if not it would be a five or six-over scores. I got back my rhythm on the second nine and fought back with a two-under," said Shaaban.

The 31-year-old from Alor Star, Kedah, dropped three bogeys in his first nine and recovered with two birdies at the 14th and 17th holes.The cartridge of the adidas golf shoes wholesale has a simple but rugged coil that can tolerate extreme levels of volume without causing any distortion.

"It is a good start for me because I fought back from being three-over and that's given me some confidence. Hopefully, I don't finish last again,The Cobra S2 USA edition looks very simple. These pair of sneaker features a white leather on the upper part with some red accents on the piping and outsole" he said.

Testy McIlroy leads in Shanghai golf tournament


World number three Rory McIlroy backed himself to win the mega-rich Lake Malaren Shanghai Masters Thursday -- and then promptly ordered a news blackout over his sudden management swap.

The US Open champion sacked his long-term agent Chubby Chandler last week, but the managerial reshuffle does not appear to have affected his concentration.Callaway Fairway Woods can sustain only a limited number of write and erase cycles before failure. Mid-range flash drives under normal conditions will support several hundred thousand cycles

The 22-year-old fired a cool first-round eight-under-par 64 on Thursday to lead a stellar field chasing the $2 million winner's cheque at the non-sanctioned event.

American Hunter Mahan shot a seven-under-par 65 to keep the pressure on McIlory, while England's Ian Poulter and Paul Casey both carded five-under 67 to secure joint third with Ireland's multiple Major winner Padraig Harrington.

McIlroy was paired with world number two Lee Westwood, amid media claims the rivals had fallen out following the Northern Irishman's sudden decision to sack the agent they shared.The callaway x-24 comes in various sizes and colors. Therefore, every runner has a fitting size and a choice of the favorite color. When you purchase this shoe

Englishman Westwood said on Twitter that his rival had made a "bizarre decision" -- the latest in a series of terse online exchanges between the two over the last month.

But signs of frost between the pair on the front nine soon thawed, with Westwood advising McIlroy on a free drop when he came unstuck in the lip of a bunker on the 15th.

McIlroy shot five birdies on the back nine, eight overall, and was in no mood to discuss his departure from Chandler's International Sports Management during his post-round press conference.

"I've come here to talk about my 66," he said when asked about his move and claims of a rift with his former stablemate.

McIlory was happy to claim himself unbeatable in the 72-hole tournament, the latest big money event in China aimed at luring the game's biggest names from the major PGA, European and Asian tour dates.

"If I can play as solid for the next three days as I did today, then I feel I will be very difficult to beat," he said.

"I am just giving myself plenty of opportunities. I didn't miss too many greens and if you can do that, you'll always be tough to beat."

The 38-year-old Westwood, who boasts a formidable Asian track record with wins in the Indonesian Masters, the Ballantine's Championship in South Korea and the China Golf Challenge, began strongly.

But his putting let him down, putting him three under par and joint eighth going into the second round.

He showed his unhappiness with the often noisy spectators on the tees, sarcastically telling one trigger-happy camera-holding fan: "If you ask me, I'll smile next time."

His caddie also tried to take a camera off of one spectator and Westwood received some on-the-hoof Chinese lessons to humorously tell fans to stop taking photos in a language they understood.

China's Li Chao kept up local hopes with a four under 68 to lie joint sixth with American Anthony Kim.

Li is one of nine Chinese players vying for a chunk of the $5 million purse funded by tournament owners, property tycoon Shi Jian and his 28-year-old son and partner Janson.

Other big name players enticed by hefty appearance fees and the attractive last place $25,000 loser's cheque include major champions such as Charl Schwartzel, Bradley Keegan plus Colin Mongtomerie.

A strong gust of wind, the warm air from Texas is also a prelude, a cold rain is expected on Wednesday.It was like a different man I was playing, as Dennis repeatedly made strong good drives Taylormade Golf bags, and could reach the green better than he ever had

Monday happy conditions to attract Forest Park a stable population losses can be free. Golf course, have active trading. So the zoo. Cycling, jogging, walking the dog and the rest of the park bench.

Kavanagh was probably because he retired. So it is extremely tiny high ridge, riding his bicycle in the park with Cindy Barrett Fenton, an independent house cleaning, who declared personal holidays.

The National Weather Service says, Wednesday the weather will change significantly, when a cold front moving and the rainfall and the temperature drops to 40 Wednesday night just in time for the game 6 of the world series.

The rules of golf conflict Amateur University

In reading 12.3 articles of association in 2011 - 12 University Division I book a few times in the past 24 hours, it seems clear that there is no gray area athletes and agent, no logic ( or logical ) method to find a loophole, allows amateur players, a student at the American University to take advantage of the changes in the rules of the amateur status (UK ), the United States Golf Association and the development of a jointly announced yesterday, in does not violate the game rules.

In a move that surprised, but appears to be a purely nod, currently facing the real elite amateur golfer, the governing body of the game to change the rules of 2 - 2 gene, effective January 1, 2012,It was like a different man I was playing, as Dennis repeatedly made strong good drives Taylormade Golf bags, and could reach the green better than he ever had let amateur contract and / or protocol, 1/3 party-which can include a or sponsor-solely professional agency relationship between the player's future as a a professional, to provide the player does not get any benefit, directly or indirectly, while still an amateur. This was accompanied by a similar subsidy amateur to sign a contract with the National Golf club.

However, the articles of association of the University in 12.3, entitled" the use of agents," are as follows:
* general rule. A person is not eligible to participate in interscholastic sports, if he or she had agreed to let ( oral or written) as the representative agent marketing aim his or her athletic ability or credibility of sport. In addition, the agency contract without specific restrictions on the writing of a sport or specific exercise should be considered for all sports, and individuals are not eligible to participate in any sport.

* 12.3.1.1 represents the future negotiations. A person not entitled to every one if he or she enters an oral or written agreement, agent in the future occupation sports negotiation, is occurring in a person to complete his or her qualifications in sports.
It seems clear, isn't it?

It is certain, though, I contacted Stephen Clarke, vice director of teaching affairs and member of the University, and asked him about the matter. In an e-mail response, Clarke admitted that follow the new stadium / R & D rules will endanger the athlete qualification.

This is not the first time, the rules of golf have conflict with the college students' Sports association. When the United States Golf Association / R & D relax restrict competition professional tour qualifying school amateur in a few years ago, it has created a preliminary division and its definition the occupation intentions of.

After the United States Golf Association / R & D the latest announcement, several university golf coach noticed, gcaa and ngca National Convention in Las Vegas in December, will suddenly become more interesting difficult situation at work within the rules of conflict began to seriously discuss. Usually in the Convention, a university representative ( carat to undertake this task, in recent years ) has been speaker soon national legislation and attempt to answer questions regarding the current rules. All of the agenda is that the two convention this year undoubtedly will be required to very specific and should be how to coach to give the United States Golf Association / R & D rules changes.

Interestingly, when the coach may in their enthusiasm is questioned, the University seems to be in a solid foundation. You heard these days is how physical education in Colleges and universities is rotten to the core, is largely due to the influence of the booster and the ... Wait for it ... Agent. How in the conscience of university can give any ground on any of this?

Golf coaches have the right to be upset, now they will probably want to use more cautious, in the recruitment process, to ensure that they understand the future 's future intentions. The coach had enough variables,he battery will be linked to the Junior golf club sets out in the sun and later carried to wherever it is required. Which means that the charger can be not noted in the course of the day and the facility can be utilized later at night they need to be aware of before, do not add to the confusion of the substitution of a 18 year old said that he / she will remain an amateur but signing agent instead of the university.
But this is not the university doing here. This is the United States Golf Association / R & D relaxed its rule.
