• John Daly: He’s Back – We Think

  Make a list of the ten headlines you never expect to hear or see again in your life concerning the game of golf. One of them very well could be, “John Daly in contention at Masters.” Well, you’re going to hear and see it anyway, although with a significant qualification. John Daly is, indeed, in …

• Extreme Golf

  Go ahead and tell us that as golfers, we aren’t really athletes. Go on depicting us as bland, fair-weather, high-life sports people. Draw all the distinctions you want between the well-mannered men and women of the club-house and cage fighters, extreme skiers and sumo wrestlers. We don’t mind. We know the truth. We know that …

• 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 …

• Erik Compton: Science on Tour

  Growing up in a world of burgeoning science, those of my parents’ generation were in awe as the first kidney transplant was performed in 1953. I remember my childhood introduction to the polio vaccine, our first answer to a disease that was at one time thought invincible. We were and continue to be duly impressed …

• 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. Get your card, go out there, and do your best to keep it, much less win something. It’s a …

• 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 …

• Royalty and Golf: Rank Still Has Privileges

  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 …

• Lefty Golf: The Far Side of the Ball

  I learned how to play golf as a left-hander because those were the clubs available from aunt and uncle hand-me-downs. I wasn’t great, but got my game up and running somewhat  (although the comment once made of Jim Furyk’s swing applied – “beheading a snake in a phone booth.”)  I switched, once new equipment became …

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