• Ping K15 Iron Review

  Ping K15 Iron Review  Typical of any game improvement iron, the Ping K15 irons have a wide sole, thick top line and slight offset.  As result, the club looks super easy to hit.  In addition, the K15 head features a steel cavity with lightweight titanium face.   The dull steel finish looks great on the course …

• New Kid in Town: Golf World Gets Tebowed!

  Like so much of America, I’ve been bitten by the Tim Tebow bug, especially with the New England Patriots lying in wait for the surprising Broncos this weekend. I like the guy, and I have no reason to rip on him for any reason. Not everything demands a moralistic response. Things are often just what …

• Honoring Dan Jenkins: Golf and the Fourth Estate

  I was interested in the recent announcement that the Golf Writers Association of America has named Luke Donald (European/PGA Tours), Yani Tseng (European/LPGA) and Tom Lehman (Champions Tour) as Golfers of the Year, and that the three will be honored at Augusta in April. This news aroused some curiosity about the GWAA itself, along with …

• PGA Snowbirds: Where do the Pros Go for the Winter?

  It is my unhappy task to break the bad news to golf fans everywhere about our favorite touring pros, and I do so with an appropriate sense of betrayal. As we slog through the winters at our respective places of work, piling up the pennies and cutting back on Big Macs so that we can …

• Rory McIllroy Caught What?

  Mr. McIllroy is back in the golf news again, and it’s a surprising story, considering that we hear almost nothing but the wunderkind’s stunning new achievements. Considering the trajectory of the latest young golf star out of Ireland, I certainly expected a different kind of headline this week for Rory. If anyone is hail and …

• Golf Rivalries and Hate Politics: Never Meant to be Together

  Name the sport – if you’re a fan, it represents, to some degree, an escape from the world’s tribal hostilities. In its most militant sense, it is war softened to hard-nosed competition. Even better, it’s an appreciation of the game – whatever game, and the appreciation for those who play it, especially the ones from …

• 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 …

• Catriona Matthew Wins the Ochoa Invitational

  I was absolutely certain in the weeks leading up to the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara that the twenty seven year old native daughter would swoop in and win her own event. I figured that Lorena was unstoppable then, and that she’d be unstoppable now. It was such a surprise to see that she wasn’t …

• John Daly: Cascade Failure

  This evening’s golf news has saved the public from another article on Scottish golf terminology, the history of the golf spike, or some such dusty academic essay. John Daly is back, and he’s more interesting than anything else I could possibly come up with on a dreary Thursday. I’ve always had a “Poor guy, why …

• Steve William’s Remark: Racist or Merely Ugly?

  This morning’s headline in Vancouver, Washington, blared the news – “Racist remark about Tiger Woods by former caddie, Steve Williams, leaves golf world reeling.” I can’t confess to being aware of much “reeling” where I live, but it was discouraging, another unfriendly obstacle in an otherwise civil game. It would be silly to think that …
