• Abu Dhabi: Tiger at the HSBC

  Get an eyeful of the Abu Dhabi Golf Club, and you’ll see one of the new international faces of the golf world. Where Augusta was carved from the Azaleas and Pebble Beach from the sea, this showpiece of golf luxury was fashioned out of the desert. Designed by Peter Harradine, and opening in 2000, the …

• Golf Injuries: Swing Safe and Putt Tall

  I once believed, as many still do, that the game of golf represents a haven for those of us who don’t want to wrestle, get dragged down by a linebacker or risk being gored by a bull. It has always been sold as a walk through beautiful countryside in which the golfer dictates the pace, …

• Babe Didrikson Zaharias: From There to Here?

  This is how it works if you want to play professional golf. You play through childhood, win every local thing you can find, get into the qualifying system, play until you’re blind and score consistently well.

• PGA Season Underway? How Can You Tell?

  What if they held an international golf tournament in the Garden of Eden, and nobody came? What if the PGA held its first event of the 2012 tour, and Mickelson, Woods, McIllroy, Clarke, Schwartzel, Donald, Scott, Kaymer, Johnson, Rose, Snedecker and Jacobsen didn’t appear? What if up to one third of the eligible players of …

• 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. They were all golfers, and …

• Native Americans and Golf: Adopting the Scottish Game

  Here’s an interesting question for you, and I’ll give you five seconds to answer. What does the abbreviation, NAGT stand for? Maybe someone out there got it – maybe someone near the Wisconsin Dells, Arizona, New Mexico, Alabama or Michigan.
