The number one ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking, Tiger Woods, has been questioned after his latest competitions. However, Woods arrives at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational as a leading candidate for the title.

The golf betting entities still have Tiger Woods standing as the favourite even after Woods poor performances, which is the reason the overall ranking between Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Lee Westwood has been reduced.

Woods accumulated 9.47 points, while Mickelson and Westwood have 9.24 and 9.04, respectively.

On his part, Phil Mickelson is one of the most recognized figures in the sport and will return to Northern Ohio to participate for the 18th consecutive year in the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, taking into account that the American golfer has participated in this event since 1992.

In addition, the professional golfer has won four major championships, the last of which was won in April, when Phil Mickelson won the 2010 Masters Tournament.

However, since the Bridgestone Invitational became a World Golf Championship event in 1999, Mickelson has failed in his attempts to win it.

On the other hand, after missing five months and despite the dramatic return, Woods has arrived as a big favourite to this years tournaments.

For the 2010 Bridgestone Invitational, Tiger Woods will try to get his first win since he was involved in his infidelity scandals of last November.

However, we cant expect that much, considering Woods has failed in his attempt to achieve a victory in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and at the British Open this year. But despite all this, he remains ranked as number one in the overall standings.

Finally, this will be a tournament that promises a lot of action, in which Woods will attempt to recover his good level of golf, but in which he will have a major contender that could remove him from the top of the table, Phil Mickelson.

ParaGolfer

For anyone suffering from a disabling condition the simple tasks that we take for granted like using an ATM or meeting with friends can be very challenging. To enjoy a round of golf is all but impossible.

That is up until now. The ParaGolfer from Otto Bock Healthcare was designed to enable golfers who have suffered from partial paralysis either through stroke or accident to get back to where they once were on the golf links.

The ParaGolfer is a specially constructed multi-terrain power wheelchair that features an innovative sit-to-stand function. This enables a disabled or physically challenged person to stand and play golf. Its robust yet agile design means players can easily move across various terrains.

Gaynor Norris, Marketing Manager at Otto Bock Healthcare said;

“Recent advancements in mobility solutions go beyond getting people moving innovations such as the ParaGolfer really restore a disabled persons ability to interact and play golf without restrictions. Furthermore, standing functions do much more than improve circulation being able to play and interact at eye level can be a huge confidence booster too.”

Well, its another sweltering day here in the south-east and memories of the long cold winter have all but faded. I know some keen golfers that played all through the winter months; all the time golf clubs were open, that is. But I am what is known as a fair-weather golfer and though some hardy all-year round amateur golfers look down their nose at me for only appearing from March to October I am adamant that I play golf to relax, have fun and enjoy a good walk in the countryside. None of the aforementioned enters my head when I am cold, wet and miserable.

The enjoyment factor for me is that I use golf for total stress relief. As soon as I put on my spikes and switch off my mobile phone I immediately feel free of the stress of work. Sometimes it needs a few deep breathes to clear my mind of any work-related issues. But by the time I am on the first tee, whether for a round or a golf break, I treat the whole golf experience as much needed therapeutic me time; and enjoy every minute.

I might feel differently if I was a low handicapper, playing off scratch or in a tournament. But for me to worry too much about my handicap would simply change the way I can enjoy every stroke good and er… not so good!

So with the summer weather in full swing (and who can tell how long it is going to last?), I find this is a good time of year to look for golf breaks whether in the UK, Europe or further afield.

Personally I enjoy short golf breaks rather than one or two week holidays, though I am a keen golfer two or three rounds of golf in the same amount of days is enough of a fix and I can return to work with a smile and a spring in my step.

The other consideration is that I prefer to drive or be driven to avoid any airport delays. Total control, just like on the golf course (I wish!) where I can pack my golf bag and clothes in the car boot and arrive within three or four hours. Perfect!

Compared to twenty years ago, there are so many golf courses throughout the UK that there are always an abundance of special offers and discounts throughout the year even at some of the most prestigious golf courses and golf hotels.

Furthermore, with the popularity of the Internet there are plenty of websites ready to offer you golfing holidays and golf breaks at cut down prices.
So while the sun is still shining and British summer time is giving us light evenings, why not treat yourself to a golf break in the UK.
