The Good Noise & The Bad Noise On The PGA TOUR Four days in the Arizona desert, particularly the weekend of the Phoenix Open, provided a clear reminder of what the PGA TOUR has sorely needed. A sport best performed in silence is most entertaining when there is noise, as long as it's the right kind of noise. For the PGA TOUR, there has been far too much clangor to start the new year.

While a group of players are competing at the Qualifying Tournament at Mission Inn Resort and Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida, 375 miles to the west, PGA TOUR Canada is holding a simultaneous Qualifying Tournament, at the RTJ Golf Trail at Highland Oaks.

For Mickelson, Actions Will Speak Louder Than Words Phil Mickelson decided to chastise the PGA TOUR for not paying him what he deserves by accusing the league that made him rich and famous of ?obnoxious greed.?There?s a better way to go about it. For a six-time major champion who for 30 years has amazed his audience with a golf club, his biggest bravado now involves a pen. Just be the first player to enlist. INSIDE GOLF

How To Escape A Fried-Egg Lie With Ease For the average recreational golfer, bunker shots are far from simple. Add in a gnarly lie and you can kiss saving par goodbye; and there?s no nastier lie than the dreaded fried egg. With the right technique though, you can escape a fried-egg lie, and even put a little spin on the ball. GOLF.com?s Zephyr Melton shares the technique from GOLF Top 100 Teacher Jonathan Yarwood.
