Give me televised professional golf any day of the week and I’ll probably watch, especially on a course that I’ve only looked at through inebriated eyes. But the most recent installment of Capital One’s The Match fell flat. In a “made for tv” move the powers that be decided to make it a 12-hole match...
The #1 gift in golf for the last 20 years has been a box of Titleist Pro V1 golf balls. Every player would be thrilled to receive them, because most won’t pay the $50 to treat themselves. But golf balls are an extremely boring gift and not very original. This year, think outside the box...
Everyone has heard these cliché golf sayings while out on the links and have certainly said them as well. Yours truly is also guilty of muttering most of these at some point in my golf life. While most are perfectly normal, some are also pretty annoying. I thought we’d have some fun this week and...
The discussion of proper gapping when it comes to wedges in a fitting is a popular one, especially with the emergence of stronger lofts in iron sets. Pitching wedges at 44° of loft has become the norm, so you’re seeing gap wedges approach 48° and 50° territory. The same needs to be addressed on the...
You hit it better when you swing slower No you don’t. Never say slow. Instead think smooth. You hit it better when your tempo is nice and smooth. You still want speed. Even on a chip shot. Speed is the great equalizer. The key is to swing as fast as you can while still being...
I love to laugh. I especially enjoy a good joke on the golf course. Good way to pass the time on the tee box as you wait for the foursome in front of you to wait for the green to clear from 280 yards out after the just hit their drive 190. Here are some...
This time of year used to be called the silly season in the game of professional golf. The official season would begin in January with the winner’s only event at Kapalua in Hawaii. We on the east coast would get prime time golf and watch the game’s best tee it up in paradise while we...
A 20 year old Tiger Woods stood to the side of the 18th green at TPC Summerlin as Davis Love III, one of the game’s best players at the time, stroked an 8 foot putt for par to extend the sudden death playoff. The putt slid by the hole and Tiger won his first of...
“Boys, there’s nothing to being the captain of the Ryder Cup. You guys are all great players. Pairing is really easy. I’m going to pair together you boys who drive it crooked, and I’m going to pair together you boy who drive it straight. And the first ball’s going to be hit by Julius Boros...
Mizuno has always been an industry juggernaut when it came to forged irons, being the popular choice among the game’s best players without an equipment endorsement. But they never could quite make any noise with their metal woods. The ST-200 series dipped their toes in the water of having a driver that could compete with...
