Prince Patel and his 'unconventional' art of taking control
Sports, Wasim Mather, Published on 06/02/2026
» Thailand has quietly become a base for fighters willing to operate outside boxing's traditional pathways. Lower operational costs and regular activity have made Bangkok an attractive option for boxers prepared to manage their own careers rather than wait for opportunities.
Lasting legacy of Wanheng endures

» Chon Buri, July 20, 2022. Few inside the arena realised they were witnessing the final chapter of a quietly extraordinary career. Ringside, it felt like another familiar Thai world title night, yet it would be the last time Chayaphon Moonsri, better known as Wanheng Menayothin, entered the ring as a professional. Across from him stood Knockout CP Freshmart, the reigning WBA minimumweight champion, in a rare Thai-versus-Thai world title bout promoted by Petchyindee Promotions.

Find fairways more often by going against the grain

» When it comes to hitting it long off the tee, go with your normal shot shape. When driving the ball well, most of us play a slight draw, so no matter what the conditions, we'll always have this natural shape. Getting off the tee is the hardest part of the game for new golfers. I've seen many golfers fight their natural shot shape.
Playing from the back takes skill

» Back in the old days when football was a straightforward game our school coach had an equally straightforward golden rule for defenders -- "Never pass the ball around in your own penalty area. Just hoof it!" That might explain why we did not win any medals.
Anger management a vital key to success

» The vital importance of having a great brain box that's sparking and works well under all the problems thrown at a golfer during any round, is perhaps just as vital as the mechanics of a good golf swing. Just think of all the rubbish that Rory had to face in winning last week, the constant mundane old boring useless questions that he had to answer whilst smiling and showing interest in replying to what he had for breakfast and what he watched on TV last night.
Hard work is essential for great swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 03/04/2025
» Most of us who've been playing for a long time picked up the basics of the game from watching carefully the swings of good players. Imitation has started many of us off in the game but this alone does not allow you to fully understand the swings inner workings. I must be honest here and say that watching only good swings will not make a good player. There is no shortcut, that I'm aware of, that will make a good player other than some hard work on the practice range. Imagining a nice-looking swing whilst hitting balls will help but we're all made differently, and as one well known player once told me 'we all have to work out what works on the course through blood, sweat and tears' so all the many movements required becomes muscle memory.
Rory sharpens game, Hovland tweaks

» When it comes to this fickle sport called golf, the old saying 'different strokes for different folks' holds true when it comes to the pursuit of perfection and golfing immortality.
Shoulder tilt is the key to powerful swings
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 11/12/2024
» When at the top of our swings our shoulders should be tilted from the top, not level as l see sometimes. Most golfers want to hit the ball long, and tilting your shoulders as we turn them will help tremendously. Shift your hips towards your target on your downswing so that your tailbone finishes up closer to the target. But your head should not get closer to the target or go too far over the back foot.
From title drought to Zozo domination
Sports, Collin Morikawa, Published on 23/10/2024
» There are only a few places around the world where you hope to win before the end of your career and for me, Japan is one of those places. Winning the Zozo Championship last October meant the world to me. With my heritage being half Japanese and my last name being Morikawa, it's just so special.
