• Dubious Golf Honors: What’s Really Going On?

  It’s a very nice game, played by very nice people, shooting very nice scores at the worst – right? Wrong. Just guess at how much expensive hardware lies at creek and pond bottoms (Charley Hoffman’s putter-what did he use the rest of the round?). What are they really saying after a bad shot as the …

• Golf Writers and Commentators: Heady Stuff

  All smugness aside, golf writers and broadcasters often speak with a tiny edge of “know-it-allism,” and they’re usually not entirely out of bounds in doing it. After all, it isn’t the writers, but the game that just insists on that little twist of pomp, especially when the subject gets anywhere near the British Isles. Some …

• Founders of the LPGA: A Recent Loss

  The LPGA was founded in the year of 1950, and there was little financial incentive to do it. The tour that we know today was not the brainchild or Herculean project of a single individual, but a group of thirteen female golfers who share an unequal degree of fame today.

• Mickey Wright: A Room of Her Own

  If there’s a young golfer out there who doesn’t know who Mickey Wright is, or what she did with and for the game of golf, shame on you. In golfing legacy terms, she’s your grandmother, and she was a pretty great grandmother at that. In ignoring that fact, you’ve answered the whine of every high …

• Tiger Down Under: Lead Time

  Again, the Australian Open seems to be on the receiving end of the most interesting American personalities that the PGA can offer. Two days ago, John Daly left an indelible impression down under by offering a clinic in the fine art of folding, eventually running out of balls in the process and calling it a …

• Distance Control and Proper Club Selection

  The next time you watch a Golf Professional notice how they are able to pick a golf course apart.  They always know the exact distance to their specific target.  The target could be the fairway, bunker, a layup short of a hazard or even a specific location on the green.  Rarely do you see a …
