• Bobby Locke: South African Golf

  As golf buffs, we can name a few high profile players from South Africa…Retief Goosen, Bobby Cole, Ernie Els, Fulton Allem, etc.  These and several others have an ongoing presence on the world stage of golf, but what else do they share in terms of lineage? Who was their inspiration? In large part, it was …

• 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 …

• 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 …

• Why Golfers Don’t Improve

  Why Golfers Don’t Improve   It’s no secret golf is a game that requires patience and persistence to improve.  Obviously, a vast majority of players fail to improve because they don’t play and practice.  On the other hand, many players put a lot of time and dedication into their golf game.  They practice the full …

  The world is perceived as growing more democratic each day. So many present day democracies were monarchies one or two centuries ago, and most of the prominent ones that remain have lost their “Off with his head” powers. Few can send troops or declare war unilaterally anymore, but in the game of golf, the mention …

• 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. It’s the Native American Golf Tour, and even though it seems to be predominantly state …

• 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 …

• Peter Jacobsen: Oregon’s Favorite Son

  This one’s for me. I love the sports scene in the state of Oregon. However, it’s also for you, because my patch of the world, with all the beaches, forests, green valleys, great rivers and semi-deserts, produced one of the PGA’s most interesting members, and he even racked up some neat little wins along the …

• 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 …

• Fred Couples: Nice Guys Don’t Finish Last

  Fred Couples appeared on tour in the early 80s and began a terrific career by winning the Kemper Open in ’83. Along the way, he put on the Green Jacket after the ’92 Masters to go with his other thirteen wins. By the year of 2011, he’d won three of his first four starts on …
