Before The Hype Starts: Par 3 Holes Better Than Sawgrass's #17
It's time for the annual lovefest for "the greatest par 3 hole in golf" -- TPC Sawgrass's #17. The peninsula* green that is 17 is indeed a tough par in tournament form, but I think that it is a hole where marketing has created a myth that doesn't exactly jibe with the truth. You can’t open a...
Smokey the Bear Is Absolutely Ticked at This Golfer
Only you can prevent forest fires. But a whole lot of things can start one. That's what a California golfer found out on Saturday. According to the AP, a golfer at Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine landed a shot in the rough, near some rocks. On his recovery shot, the golfer nicked a rock with...
Alvin Greene Could Reinvent How We Treat Beginning Golfers
It's safe to say that South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene's US Senate bid against Jim Demint is considered a laughing stock in national circles. The man who paid to get his name on the primary ballot then never campaigned - and won - is now getting a rough scrubbing of his life. Greene faces an...
What About A Golf Red Zone Channel?
The golf.com boys did their weekly roundtable - delayed a day by Exploding Christmas - and included a few lines about Golf Channel's difficulties in balancing out all of the events that they contractually show. This came in part out of a conversation that Damon Hack and I had on Sunday morning...
Battling the yips is never easy ... just ask Geordie Cassoff
If there's one thing golfers have nightmares about before a big tournament, it's getting the yips in the middle of a round. Like the dreaded shankapotamous that's known to rear its ugly head at a moments notice, the yips can have the same detrimental effect on the most important part of your golf...
And We're Back from Mexico...With an Epiphany
After a week in Mexico, my new wife and I are back in the United States. We had a lovely honeymoon in Riviera Maya. I highly recommend that you spend some time there during your life, perhaps even during the PGA Tour's event at Mayakoba (which we were taxied past several times). Our beach was...
Engaged Golfing Men, Keep Justin Timberlake Away from Your Wife-to-Be
This next story hits home a little bit for me on a couple of fronts: (1) I'm getting married on May 22 and (2) my fiance is a golfer that adores Justin Timberlake. The same is true for this 29-year-old dude Mike, whose fiance Julie is a huge JT fan. Julie's mom - doing the natural thing when it...
Let's Do A Story About A Beached Whale, Huh?
Steph Wei has a post detailing Matt Ginella's story of a golfer's heroic rescue of a beached whale. She makes a classic pop culture reference to the Seinfeld episode where George acts like a marine biologist to impress a woman. Then reality hits at the beach and the woman asks George to rescue a...
Changing Image: White Male Golfers Cannot Show Golf Is Inclusive
For the third straight year, the golf industry teamed up to present National Golf Day. Most recognized last year, the idea is to show detractors of the game - primarily angry, old white guys in Washington, DC - that golf isn't a game only for angry, old white guys. This year, several...
