This week professional golf competition returns to The Country Club at Brookline, Mass for the first time since the USA’s heroic comeback victory at the 1999 Ryder Cup. The last player to make a swing on the course that day was a man in knickers and a flat cap. It was a greenside bunker shot...
Charles Howell III has had a career one can only dream of. He’s also known for having the coolest nickname on the PGA Tour. While Chuckie 3-Sticks may not be a household name, he is known to diehard golf fans and his peers on tour as the human ATM machine. The man just plays solid...
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...
Sadly, Jon Rahm has been more attached to Covid than Dr. Faucci the last few months. Rahm was forced to withdraw from the Memorial as the leader after a positive test back in May. He then got vaccinated, came out of quarantine, and won the US Open at his home away from home – Torrey...
This week the Open Championship returns to Royal St. George’s for the first time since 2011 where Darren Clarke was victorious. When it was held at the Sandwich, England links track in 2003, the 396th ranked player in the world claimed the Claret Jug. He was a 500 – 1 long shot. It was his...

Not since last month at Kiawah was I happier to see a player get a major win. Ok, so we’ve been treated to back-to-back feel good victories in the last 2 majors. We deserve a lifetime of feel good moments to make up for the kick in the crotch that was 2020. With newborn son...
Like every major the storylines are a plenty this week as we parasail into La Jolla, California and Torrey Pines for the 121st U.S. Open.
