2013 MASTERS »
Date: 19/04/2013
Details:
The 2013 Masters provided another thrilling week of golf for all, full of great drives, bad drops and clutch putts. In the end, it took an amazing birdie on the 72nd hole and 2 playoff holes before Adam Scott bested Angel Cabrera and became the 1st Australian ever to slip on the coveted Green Jacket as Masters Champion. ISM clients enjoyed every moment of the tournament, from the ceremonial 1st tee with the “Big Three” all the way through the Green Jacket ceremony on Sunday evening.

2012 Ryder Cup »
Date: 04/10/2012
Details:
We just finished one of the most thrilling, albeit disappointing Ryder Cups in years last weekend. It was beautiful fall weather in Chicago and the Ryder Cup Teams started off with the US strong and gaining momentum on the rowdy home soil, until Sunday morning came and the unthinkable occurred when up 10 to 6, the Europeans stormed back and literally dismantled the American side in the biggest comeback on foreign soil ever in the Ryder Cup. The only solace on the US side was that we helped put the Euros in place to retain the Cup, first with the Marshall Plan and now with failing to play with conviction as our friends across the pond enjoyed a US meltdown for the ages.
2012 BMW Championship »
Date: 12/09/2012
Details:
The BMW Championship at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Indiana featured many of the top players in golf this year, contending for the FedEx Cup finale in just two weeks.
Standing alone at the end was Rory McIlroy, the 23 year old phenom from Northern Ireland. McIlroy fought off challenges from the likes of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Vijay Singh, Dustin Johnson and Adam Scott, a veritable “Who’s Who” of golfing greatness.
Powering his way through soggy conditions, McIlroy broke out of a four way tie and played bogey-free golf until the 18th hole. By that time it was enough to claim the trophy and become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win in consecutive weeks on the PGA Tour. To give this some historical perspective, he joins Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to have achieved 6 career tour wins at the age of 23.
Probably the most disconcerting revelation to the rest of the PGA Tour was that Rory McIroy admitted he expected to win all along.
Up next for ISM is the 2012 Ryder Cup Matchs in Medinah, IL!

The 2012 Masters finished up Sunday with a thrilling playoff victory by Bubba Watson over Louis Oostehuizen. Almost all the ISM clients stayed for the Green Jacket ceremony and agreed this was the most exciting finish in years! There were 5 players within 2 shots of the lead on Sunday on the back 9 and this was after Louis scored an albatross on #2 earlier in the day. . Phil Mickelson was one of those who was close but after his triple on #4, he couldn’t recover. Congrats again to Bubba!

2012 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am »
Date: 16/02/2012
Details:
The 2012 AT&T Celebrity Pro-Am at Pebble Beach brought out the true superstars of golf, as Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods were paired together on the final day. Though Tiger teed up only four strokes off the lead, he ultimately proved toothless on this Sunday, prolonging two years of misery. The roar was loud as he walked up the 18th fairway; a sound very familiar to Tiger…but sadly it was for his chief rival as he fell to Mickelson by an astounding 11 shots.
ISM’s clients had a wonderful week, beginning on Wednesday with a best-ball scramble at a local championship course. The main event followed, with the PGA pros playing alongside their celebrity teammates.
Now we are just days away from the annual frenzy known as “March Madness”, culminating in the always exciting NCAA Final Four Championship. This year’s host city is the “Big Easy”, more commonly known as New Orleans.

The PGA Championship once again returned to the Atlanta Athletic Club, and once again the finishing holes provided great theater and a fantastic ending. For the second year in a row a playoff finish was needed to decide who would capture the Wanamaker Trophy in 2011! Rookie Keegan Bradley played like a savvy veteran down the stretch, posting birdies on three of his last six holes, including the playoff, to catch and surpass a free-falling Jason Dufner and earn his first Major Championship! With the exhilarating finishes that we’ve had over the past few years, this year certainly being included, at the PGA Championship (Padraig Harrington knocking down an 18-foot par putt on the 72nd hole to defeat Sergio Garcia in 2008, Y.E. Yang shocking the world and Tiger Woods in 2009 at Hazeltine, and Dustin Johnson erasing his scorecard and his Wanamaker Trophy hopes while Martin Kaymer defeats Bubba Watson in a playoff at Whistling Straits last year), we can’t wait to see what Kiawah Island has in store for us next August!

The 2010 Masters Golf Tournament is in the books and we've learned a few things: 1) After almost half a year off and with tumult surrounding him, Tiger Woods is still dangerous on a golf course. 2) Phil Mickelson's third Green Jacket is a bit smaller than his previous two. 3) ISM's clients love being hosted from our convenient locale just outside the 9th Gate with easy parking on-site, quick course access, and fabulous hospitality from the time the gates open until after the last putt drops. Thanks to all who made this year great and we hope to see you at Augusta next year for the Masters!
