After over 100 years of absence, golf will return to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Some of the game’s biggest names will finally have the chance to get their hands on an Olympic gold medal; the first awarded since Canadian George Lyon won gold at the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis.
So what do we know about the forthcoming Olympic competition, its qualification system, the tournament itself and where it is likely to be played?

Gorilla Golf Blog team wishes a Happy and Healthy 2012 to all of our fellow golfers.
Stayed tuned this year for even more thought provoking and stimulating articles!
For some, the words ‘golf’ and ‘fashion’ often imply a contradiction in terms, eliciting scorn and mockery in equal proportion. Mention the fact that you’re looking for something stylish to wear on the course for Christmas, and the reaction of non-golfers is likely to be along the lines of “Plus-fours and gaiters, then?”
But how things have moved on. Bubba Watson wore golfing camouflage trousers during this year’s US Open, raising awareness for American troops abroad, while Brian Gay and Kip Henley were pretty in pink.
For the overtly manly among us, there’s no shortage of sleek and streamlined, muscle-enhancing golf shirts, polos, jackets and trousers to flatter the figure and frighten the opposition, in all seasons and weathers.

The news that Tiger Woods has signed a prestigious new multi-year deal with Swiss watch manufacturer Rolex will certainly be welcome news for Woods’ bank manager. Ever since his girlfriend decided to swing his nine-iron after revelations of his antics on tour, long-time sponsors of the former world number one abandoned ship one after the other.
Lucrative deals with AT&T, Tag Heuer, Accenture, Gatorade and Gillette were all wiped from Woods balance sheet in the wake of his lurid revelations.

So why Rolex has chosen to team up with Woods now? Woods stock has plummeted as far as his ranking; the former world number one is now ranked outside the top 50. He has not won a tournament in almost two years. His reputation, tarnished by x-rated details of his antics on tour will never be the same.

As reported by Adam Schupak in the New York Times on 27th October 2011, the new publication of the golfer’s bible The Rules of Golf 2012-15 by R&A will see no less than nine changes to the current rules, with one change in particular a very long time in coming for a few unfortunate professionals and amateurs.
The rule in question is the dreaded rule 18-2b, which concerns the ball moving after it has been addressed by a golfer. It is a rule number which many golfers have firmly in the forefront of their mind when putting in windy conditions.
Previously to the new rule modifications announced last week, once a golfer had addressed the ball with intention to putt it into the hole, if the ball moved due to any reason, then the golfer had to accept a penalty stroke.

She’s still five months away from her 17th birthday, but 16-year-old Lexi Thompson is now on top of the world after her stunning five-stroke victory at the LPGA Navistar Classic in Prattville, Alabama.
Lexi’s win saw her become the youngest ever golfer to win an event on any professional tour, let alone the LPGA. She shot a final round 70 to finish on 17-under-par to take home a winner’s cheque for £124,000.

Your new smartphone may be your shiny new toy, but once you have finished playing Angry Birds and decided to use your powerful new gadget to help you on the golf course, you will be confronted by a plentiful choice of different golf apps, all designed to help you develop one or more aspects of your game.
Of course, some of these apps are very useful and last week’s article on Gorilla Golf Blog showed you ten such golf apps, but occasionally there are apps out there that the moment you download and pay for them, you instantly regret doing so. Here’s our list of five worst golf apps to avoid for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and precisely why they should be left well alone, in the words of those who have downloaded and reviewed the products on iTunes store.
