Come in Spinner!
 GCDU has frequently warned “Beware of eBay” when it comes to buying golf clubs.
We have heard too many stories of golfers who thought they had done a good deal only to discover later that, at best, they had bought forgeries or, worse still, counterfeit copies of brand name clubs manufactured from inferior materials.

Their complaint to authorities started an investigation into, what is now believed to be, the largest fraud perpetrated on eBay to date. More... |

Global Ambassador Annika Sorenstam and 2010 European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie will join representatives of the International Golf Federation when golf's final case for inclusion in the 2016 Olympic Games will be made to the International Olympic Committee Executive Board on Monday in Lausanne, Switzerland.

John Daly makes his return to the PGA Tour this week. His return to the U.S. Open will have to wait.
Daly managed only four birdies over 36 holes in a U.S. Open qualifier on Monday and didn't come close to getting one of the 13 spots available in Tennessee. He had a 1-under 70 in the morning at Ridgewood and a 2-over 73 in the afternoon at Germantown.
The PGA Tour has lifted its six-month suspension of Daly, who will tee it up Thursday at the St. Jude Classic. He won't be going to the U.S. Open, but he said the 36-hole qualifier helped him make the transition from playing in Europe.
