Mr Murray! Please, no! Not again...

 

The worlds of wine and golf seem inextricably linked. Why? We're not sure. Maybe because they're both great. Anyway, crack open a Blue Nun, lie back, relax, and let your special host, Fuzzy Zoeller, take you through The Duffer's Guide to wine producing golfers.

 

Arnold Palmer
In the latest of a long line of business ventures, 'The King' collaborated with Luna Vineyards to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon and two different Chardonnays. Too old to fully appreciate it, Arnold contents himself by looking at the pictures on the label.

 

Fuzzy says: Rich yet unassuming with a medicinal twist.

 

John Daly
According to its website blurb, the John Daly wine is apparently  “blended to reflect unique and different aspects of one of the world’s most thrilling and big-hearted golfers.” True to form, it's comprised of 75% sweat.

 

Fuzzy says: Full bodied, plenty of oomph. Fleshy, meaty style.

 

Greg Norman
Since 1999, 'The Great White' has been in partnership with Beringer Blass wineries and the result has been the Greg Norman Estates range. Norman can often be seen relaxing on park benches with a bottle of his own creation.

 

Fuzzy says: Slightly gamey, good long-term with character and depth. Imperceptibly hollow middle.

 

Ernie Els
With long term friend, Jean Engelbrecht, Ernie opened his vineyard in 1999 in Stellenbosh, South Africa. A quality wine, with the plus point that when plied with enough, can turn women into The Big Easy.

 

Fuzzy says: Gutsy, yet smooth and vigorous. Plummy yet ripe.

 

Luke Donald
Luke recently took a trip to the Napa Valley to help develop the blend that will become his signature wine. Not to be confused with his signature whine: “But I wanna win a maaaaajooooor.”

 

Fuzzy says: Fragrant and sappy. Fruit packed on the palate.

 

Mike Weir
Mike Weir Estate Winery has been knocking out plonk for two years now. After a promising start to his career, Mike is yet to win since he's had his label, cynics might suggest the two events are connected.

 

Fuzzy says: Early harmonious notes. Minerally complex .

 

Nick Faldo
Produced by the Katnook Estate in Australia, Faldo's wine is the tipple of choice for bored housewives in his home town of Welwyn Garden City, even outstripping Lambrusco sales by three to one.

 

Fuzzy says: Previous earthy depth has been replaced by suavity and breed. A touch angular.

 

David Frost
Unlike most of the players on the list, Frost's family have been in the wine business for over 60 years. In fact, David learned to putt by lying empty wine glasses on the floor and rolling grapes into them.

 

Fuzzy says: Well judged and sound in style, if a little unexciting. Digest.

 

Duffy Waldorf

Doesn't own a vineyard but does claim to have a collection of over 1,000 bottles. He doesn't say if they're all empties however...

 

Fuzzy says: Lovely fruity expression. Full and round.

 

The PGA Tour
“The thrill of discovering an exclusive portfolio of rare wines rivals the excitement of playing a world-class golf course.” So say the PGA anyway. You can't down a golf-course in your mate's dad's garage though.

 

Fuzzy says: Tough tannic structure. Pretty massive and a bit overdone.

Kaymer: Poised to emerge from the shadows

 

Last time out, at the KLM Open, of our three English tips, Nick Dougherty and Steve Webster didn't do too badly, both finishing at a two under, tied 37th. Phillip Archer fared worse, missing the cut at one over. This week, we've gone for a pair of Scots and a German.

 

Colin 'Field Marshall' Montgomerie @ 14/1

A bit of an obvious pick, but with Monty aiming to be the first Scottish winner of the tournament and having finished fourth here last year, he is well worth a fiver at 14/1.

 

Martin 'Not the new Bernhard Langer' Kaymer @ 35/1

Barring a very disappointing double bogey on the 18th at the Scandinavian Masters this month, Kaymer could already have been celebrating his maiden victory, having been a shot ahead at the tee. After a promising first season, the German rookie is well priced to break his duck at Gleneagles.

 

Alistair 'Bruce' Forsyth @ 35/1

Also gunning to be the first Scottish winner, Forsyth finished tied third at the KLM last week and his 35/1 also looks like great value.



Ernie leaves the Tour for a week

 

The Big Easy has withdrawn from this weekend's Deutsche Bank Championship to focus on the more important task of the school run and making sure his children have new pencil cases.

 

Following his fourth place finish at Westchester last week and subsequent rise to 10th in the FedEx standings, Els said; "I have been on the road now for almost eight weeks and it is important that I return home where my children will be preparing for their return to school."

 

He will reappear on the Tour for the third and penultimate FedEx playoff, the BMW Championship. Although disappointing for fans and for the PGA to have such a high profile player withdraw, he still has an outside chance of winning the FedEx if he can put in some top quality performances in the final weeks.

Is that Slade over there on the next hole?

 

On this day, in 1976, David Graham won the American Golf Classic by four strokes over namesake Lou Graham.

 

Anthony David Graham was born in 1946, in Windsor, Australia and turned professional in 1962. Before joining the Champions Tour in 1996, Graham won 8 times on the PGA Tour, won the 1979 PGA Championship, the 1981 U.S Open and the 1976 Piccadilly World Matchplay Championship.

 

Also on this day, in 1833, the English government abolished slavery throughout its empire. (Reinstated by InGolfWeTrust management in 2007.)

 

Meanwhile, in 1882, The Ashes test series was born when The Sporting Times printed a mock obituary for English cricket after England were beaten at home by Australia for the first time. Since then English cricket has died several hundred times over.

 

It's Akkineni Nagarjuna! As they say in Japan, to; footballers Celestine Babayaro (29) and Jon Dahl Tomasson (31), 'comic' Lenny Henry (49) and former King of Pop, Michael Jackson, also (49). Ingrid Bergman would have been 92 today if she hadn't died 25 years ago, on her birthday, at the age of 67.
