• Lewis, Fowler and Phatlum

  Lewis, Fowler and Phatlum: Youth Rules Golf This Week One should be careful throwing around the word youth these days, because it’s including younger and younger players all the time. I’m going to give Stacy Lewis the benefit of the doubt, even though she’s approaching her late twenties. Considering what she went through to get …

• Golf Comebacks, Large and Small

  Golf Comebacks, Large and Small We love them like we love little else in the world of sports – comebacks. In the short term, they can turn any athletic event into a cliffhanger. Just when you think one thing is certain, someone stages a comeback, and you can’t go to the hot dog and beer …

• The Return of Olazabel

  Jose Maria Olazabel Manterola I love that part of the game when ceremonial players are honored. I’ve enjoyed watching the likes of Gene Sarazen, Byron Nelson, Palmer and Player hit the ritual ball on the first tee (although I still keep an eye out for Gary on the leader board…scary guy).

• Old Hickory: The Romance of Old World Golf

  I was surprised and delighted to learn that in this world of “heavy hitter” golf, there is still a soft spot for golf of the 1920s and beyond, particularly in the United States and Scotland. That makes sense, of course. Neither country likes to be told what to do or what to give up. In …

• 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 …

• Lorena Ochoa: It’s a Boy!

  The long-anticipated arrival of Pedro Conesa Ochoa became reality Thursday for former number one golfer Lorena Ochoa and businessman husband Andres Conesa. For her, far more important than her personal statistic of $14.8 million over 77 events in eight years, are Pedro’s statistics – 2.8 kilograms and 48 centimeters. The greatest golfer in Mexican history …

• Great Asian Golfers: Just theTip of the Iceberg

  For anyone sitting around fretting over the Korean invasion of western golf tours, wake up. You’re taking the small view, and it’s going to bring you an ugly surprise. Good medicine for a case of xenophobic nerves or low level paranoia would be to celebrate global inclusion in this game, which can only make it …
