Oh Deere Oh Deere

Tragic, we'd like to believe! Perhaps, we cast the heebie-jeebies on them but after looking forward to the two big tournaments last week with such great anticipation, despair was writ large on our faces.

For the second consecutive week, SSP Chowrasia was the only Indian golfer to make the cut in an European Tour event. What's going on there? But unfortunately, he hugged the bottom of the leaderboard through the weekend at the Scottish Open, and that was more than just a tad disappointing. Arjun Atwal, making his long-awaited return on the PGA Tour, failed to make it to the weekend at the John Deere Classic. We sure do hope that he gets back to top form at the earliest. He needs to, if he hopes to secure his Tour card for next season.

Interestingly, a question we harboured for long was finally answered this Sunday at the Delhi Golf Club. The famed who-in-the-good-lord's-name-is-John-Deere mystery remains a mystery no more-:


John Deere is the official golf course equipment supplier on the PGA Tour, or so claimed the monster-vehicle beautifying the fairways of DGC.
