Paul Lawrie feeling groovy

about the new season

FROM THE GOLFWEEK.COM WEBSITE
By ALISTAIR TAIT
Paul Lawrie is heading back to the future. The Aberdonian is hoping to get back into the same groove that saw him win the 1999 Open Championship, thanks to the R&A and USGA. The new rule applying to grooves has him as excited about a golf season as he’s been in years.
Lawrie might play in the 21st century, but he is strictly old school. The Scot grew up playing traditional-style links golf. The target-style golf that has become the norm on professional tours around the world is completely alien to him.
The 41-year-old has had to adapt his game to the demands of modern professional golf, but it’s no coincidence that of his five European Tour wins, his biggest two – the Open Championship and Dunhill Links Championship – have come on the world’s greatest links courses.
Lawrie’s Open win came at Carnoustie, while he won the Dunhill over the trio of St. Andrews, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie. He had an advantage both weeks: Lawrie learned to play golf on the windswept links of North-east Scotland, on such links gems as Royal Aberdeen, Murcar and Cruden Bay.
Lawrie didn’t fly too many balls at pins when he was growing up. Anyone who knows anything about links golf knows about the bump and run, and landing the ball short of the green and letting it release to the flag. That’s why Lawrie’s happy with the new groove rule.
“I think it’s going to help me,” Lawrie said. “I like to roll the ball on the green. I don’t like to spin it all.”
Older players have expressed their backing for the rule change, among them Tom Watson and Greg Norman. It’s no coincidence both featured in the last two Open Championships, where target golf is almost non-existent except in a deluge.
“I read a quote that Greg Norman said you’re going to get a lot of older players coming back again,” Lawrie said. “I certainly feel like one of those. I was brought up on links. I wasn’t brought up to spin the ball. I was brought up that every pitch lands within two yards of the green and you roll the ball up to the hole. I wasn’t brought up to spin a lob wedge back.
“I think you’ll see that coming in more and more, especially with the golf courses having a bit more rough.”
The former European Ryder Cup player did sound a note of caution, though. He fears that science could outdo the rules makers.
“Someone said this morning that Callaway has got wedges within 10 percent of last year’s grooves already,” Lawrie said. “These manufacturers are going to find a way to get the players to spin it like they have last year, which is unfortunate.”
Lawrie is hoping the scientists fail, and is backing the lawmakers.
“I think the rule change is a fantastic change. I think you will see a few more 'feel' players, a few more old-fashioned players kind of winning tournaments again. I hope I’m one of those. I don’t mind being called old-fashioned.”

California rainstorms rule out play in Bob Hope Classic

If you're "California Dreaming," forget it. The weather on America's West Coast is no better than we are experiencing in Britain. Perhaps no snow but violent rainstorms swept California today and no play was possible in the second round of the Bob Hope Classic at La Quinta.
Tournament officials originally had hoped to delay the start of Thursday's play by a few hours, but the rain never let up.

Abu Dhabi Championship

Ian Poulter: Hungry to play after a six-week break.

Poulter holes 70ft putt to share lead on 65

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Ian Poulter holed a mammoth 70ft putt on the final green to earn a share of a one-stroke first-round lead at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship after carding a bogey-free seven-under-par 65.
South African Keith Horne, who finished second last week in Johannesburg, and Southampton resident Richard Bland matched Poulter's effort to top the leaderboard ahead of a group of nine at six under, including Paul Lawrie, Sergio Garcia and Rory McIlroy.
Garcia recovered from back-to-back early bogeys, while McIlroy blamed a "mental error" for a double-bogey - although he did respond in style with two consecutive birdies.

===============================
Former champion and last year's runner-up Martin Kaymer is alongside Louis Oosthuizen, who also claimed a runner-up finish at Abu Dhabi Golf Club 12 months ago, one stroke further back.
Poulter admits he is hungry to compete after a six-week Christmas break, and all signs point to a positive result this week after he returned from a similar break to end a two-year winless streak in Singapore at the end of last year.
"I've done an awful lot of hard work and it definitely paid off. I hit my irons very solid and I holed some nice putts," said Poulter.
"One of my goals at the start of the year was to hole more 20ft putts, which I haven't done a lot of.
"And I said to my caddie 'I hope you're keeping count, a few of those are going in' and they kept going in. They dried up on the back nine a little, but there was a little bonus on the last."

COLIN FARQUHARSON'S SCOTSWATCH: If Paul Lawrie was the happiest Scot after a six-under-par 66 sees him start the second day in a share of fourth place, only one shot off the pace, then no prizes for guessing the unhappiest - fellow-Aberdonian Richie Ramsay. A winner in South Africa on his last European Tour appearance before Christmas, Richie went from the sublime to the ridiculous to be joint 110th with Alastair Forsyth on the three-over-par 75 mark today.
Starting at the 10th, Richie did not get his only birdie until the seventh. He bogeyed the 11th, 12th, fourth and six in halves of 37 (holes 1-9) and 38 (holes 10-18).
Lawrie, one of the early starters, was sharing the lead on five-under-par after he birdied the third, having started at the 10th. He got another birdie before he finished, at the eighth, but a 66 was eventually pushed down by the three leaders on 65. Paul had no bogeys and his earlier birdies came at the 10th, 16th, 17th and 18th in halves of 34 (holes 1-9) and 32 (holes 10-18).
Gary Orr and Marc Warren are joint second top Scots on 69 in a share of 25th place. Orr started at the 10th and birdied the 12th and 13th before dropping a shot at the 14th. On his second nine, he birdied the second and fourth and bogeyed the seventh in halves of 35 (holes 1-9) and 34 (holes 10-18).
Warren began at the first and birdied the second, bogeyed the sixth and birdied the seventh and ninth to be out in 34. Coming home, he birdied the 11th and 16th before bogeying the 17th in an inward 35.
Stephen Gallacher is tied for 30th place with a 70. Starting at the first, he parred his first 10 holes before he got birdie putts to drop at the 11th, 13th and 15th. His only bogey came at the 16th in halves of 36 and 34.
David Drysdale is tied for 54th place after a 71. Starting at the 10th, the Dunbar man birdied the 10th but had a bad run immediately after that with bogeys at the 11th, 14th and 15th before he birided the 16th and 18th to cover holes 10-18 in 36. On holes 1-9, Drysdale had eight pars and a birdie at the seventh for a half of 35.
Colin Montgomerie is back in a share of 88th place with a 73. Starting at the 10th, the Ryder Cup captain parred holes 10 to 18 and also the first before he picked up his only birdie of a frustrating day, at the second. Bogeys at the sixth and seventh gave him halves of 37 (holes 1-9) and 36 (holes 10-18).

Northumberland venue joins PGA EuroPro Tour schedule

By ANTHONY LEAVER
The 2010 EuroPro Tour schedule continues to take shape as Longhirst Hall Golf Club in Northumberland has signed a deal to host a tournament in June.
The Tour announced the first dates of next year’s schedule late in 2009 and the Morpeth club is the latest to be added to the schedule from 9-11 June.
Longhirst was formed in 1997 and features two superb 18-hole layouts. The EuroPr0 Tour event will take place over The Lakes course, which is designed with the Florida-style courses in mind. The Lakes course is not a long course but accuracy will play a major part in deciding the ultimate winner, with an abundance of lakes and water features coming into play on most holes.
“To bring an event of this stature to Longhirst Hall has been an objective since our opening in 1997,” said Graham Chambers, Longhirst Hall’s golf manager. “The North-east of England is a hot bed for golf, and we look forward to hosting golfers from all over the country. We have a unique course for them to test themselves on, and I'm sure they will find it demanding but enjoyable. We are excited also to be teaming up with Matchroom Sport and the PGA for the first time.”
“I am delighted that we have agreed a deal to take the Tour to Longhirst Hall,” said the Tour’s operations manager Danny Nickless. “We are always looking for new and exciting venues to host tournaments that will provide a stern test to the players, and Longhirst certainly fits the bill.”
Further events on the 2010 schedule will be announced shortly – entry for the Q School is now open at the official website www.europrotour.com

'Dismayed' Kerr fears for future as PGA trainee

FROM THE SCOTSMAN WEBSITE
By MARTIN DEMPSTER
Mark Kerr, one of the two players banned from competing on the Tartan Tour for failing to comply with the PGA's training rules, is worried he won't be able to complete the programme after having his name tarnished.
The 28-year-old from Edinburgh, who has been suspended along with David Orr, the Scottish champion, until July 1 after failing to work the 30 hours per week in a golf shop required as part of the training to become a PGA professional, is "dismayed" with the action and says he can't understand the severity of his punishment.
With Dalmahoy's director of golf, Alan Tait, having been fined £1,500 for his part in the events that led to Kerr being hauled before a disciplinary panel, the player now fears it could be difficult to find another club professional willing to take him on and enable him to complete his training.
"I'm upset about the ban because it has made me out to be a cheat, and that certainly isn't the case – there was nothing malicious whatsoever about the events that have led to this," said Kerr, who finished fourth in last season's Northern Open at Spey Valley.
"There was no ill intention whatsoever yet I'm now in limbo and my worry is that no-one will want to employ me and give me the chance to finish my PGA training due to the fact I've not exactly been painted in a good light by the press coverage over the past few days."
Kerr, who entered the training programme during a brief spell at Bathgate, said he had been due to take up a position in August at Dalmahoy, where he played as an amateur, only for that to fall through at the last minute.
"I signed a contract on August 1 with a view to starting a few weeks later but a member of staff who'd said they were leaving changed their mind and Alan (Tait] said he was sorry but he couldn't do anything about that and he'd let the PGA know what had happened," added Kerr.
In addition to being fined, Tait has been advised that he should resign from his position on the PGA Scottish Region Committee but Kerr, who is now working in his family pub – the Canny Man's in Morningside – to earn some money, believes his situation has been blown out of proportion in comparison to Orr's.
"I'm stunned that my ban is similar to his, especially when you take into account the fact David won the British Assistants' Championship back in 2002," added Kerr. "They were trying to make out I was a touring professional yet, if I was breaking the rules, it was literally only for a matter of weeks.
"It's not as though I've been on the Challenge Tour and come back to the Scottish circuit. I'm not a touring professional – I started the PGA training as soon as I turned professional. I was dismayed when I got the letter from the PGA, and it is clear that David and myself have obviously upset someone."

Michael Curtain (66) leads NZ PGA Championship

Australian Michael Curtain grabbed the clubhouse lead at the New Zealand PGA championship late in the day after completing an opening-round, bogey-free, six-under 66.
Curtain, the reigning Western Australian PGA titleholder, collected six birdies at Clearwater in Christchurch missing only two greens in regulation and two fairways in difficult conditions.
The Victorian leads a group of three players - compatriot Neil Sarkies and New Zealand pair Matthew Holten and Grant Moorhead - by one shot.
Sarkies, 40, birdied five of the first seven holes on the course in what was one of the best rounds of his recent career while Holten was equally as impressive, sinking six birdies to lead New Zealand's hopes into the second round.
Moorhead, who teed off later in the afternoon, hit seven birdies during his round was tied for the lead after the 17th before a bogey on the 18th forced him back into second place.
New Zealander Grant Waite finished alongside defending champ Steve Alker on two under.
Waite, who has struggled with his putting during his career, made the switch from right to left-handed with the putter and it seemed to pay off early on.
He sunk a birdie on his first hole (10th) before putting together a rare round without a single three-putt.
Waite was generally happy with his form on the greens and is feeling positive about his prospects.
"That was a bonus for me (not hitting a three putt)," he said.
"I sunk a couple of nice birdie putts, my stroke was good throughout and there was only one putt that I didn't feel comfortable over."
The shock of the round came when the leader on the course, American Brian Smock, blew his lead with a disappointing eight on his final hole of the day.
At one stage Smock led by four shots, but twice he landed in the water that guards the left side of the long par-four 18th hole en route to a quadruple bogey and a round of 70.

Jimmy Gunn recovers from bad start in Arizona

Dornoch's Jimmy Gunn covered his last 14 holes in seven under par to finish the second round in joint third place in this week's Gateway Tour Winter Series event at Raven Golf Club, Verrado in the Arizona desert.
Gunn, who had a first-round 70 over the par-72 course, dropped shots at the second, third and fourth in his second round but then birdied the long fifth, short sixth, long seventh, ninth, 13th, long 15th and short 17th.
His 36-hole tally of six-under-par 138 puts the Scot in joint third place, three shots behind tournament leader American Brett Swedberg (67-68) who has a two-stroke advantage over the field.

BORROWMAN JT 14TH IN AUSTRALIA

Dollar's Scott Borrowman finished a creditable joint 14th in a strong field of 86 players for the Australia Cup one-round tournament at The Australian Golf Club, Rosebery in New South Wales.
Borrowman, on a self-funded trip to Australia, had a round of two-over-par 74 - five shots behind the two Australians who headed the field on 69: Jason Scrivener and Kieran Pratt.
Scottish open amateur stroke-play champion Tommy Fleetwood (Formby Hall) also had a 74.
Fellow Walker Cup player Matt Haines (Rochester & Cobham) had a 75.
Other European scores:
73 Neil Raymond (Eng).
77 Richard Hooper (Wal).
78 James Frazer (Wal).
