Derek Jeter: Memorable Golf Shots & Augusta Dreams

The weekend's biggest sports story didn't revolve around golf.  That's not to says there isn't a connection, however.

When Derek Jeter  hit the 3,000
mark on Saturday at Yankee Stadium,  he broke baseball records and secured himself a spot in the baseball hall of fame. 

Golfers and golf fans may wish to know a bit more about the mega-star's golf preferences, and while those preferences have surely changed somewhat in the couple of years that  have passed since the clip below was made, it does give you an idea of the ultra-famous short-stop's golf sensibilities.



And... Derek Jeter's Celebrity Golf Classic has been taking place for the past eight years and raising money for children's charities.  You've got to admire that... even it you're not a Yankees fan.

  1. Sounds like Derek Jeter knows a lot less about golf than he does about baseball.

  5. I go back to the M&M boys, Ben Hogan, and Gordie Howe. Saw them all play. I must say though, I'm glad I went into another era and had a chance to be a fan of two of the best sports' captains ever. That would be Derek Jeter and Mark Messier. Unfortunately, Mess was only here for part of his career. Jeter has been here for all of his. It's all about the rings!!

  6. As I read the blog, I felt the sincerity of the writer, not only with blogging but with the sport golf.

    of course when talking about golf and yankees babe ruth cannot be excluded

    he played many exhibitions including one where the patrons were encouraged to make as much noise as they wished, like everything else ruth did, it was wildly successful

    i was fortunate enough to know some of the oldest leewood cc(eastchester NY) members who had some great stories about their most famous member
