If I never hear about the LIV tour again it will be too soon. And it’s not because I blame the players for taking the money. I don’t. I’m not going to get on a high horse and say I wouldn’t, because I truly don’t know what I would do. Would I take the money...
As we sit in the thick of the PGA Tour vs. Saudi backed LIV Tour quarrel, the PGA of America didn’t do themselves any favors when the concession stand board at the PGA Championship was posted to social media earlier this week. While the PGA tour raises more money for charity each year than the...
I tend to lean more towards being a traditionalist. I don’t love change. I’ll eventually embrace it, but historically it has taken awhile for me to accept, adjust, and get used to it. It takes a lot of convincing for me to get on board, but it is possible. So as you can imagine, I...

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.

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...
The Ryder Cup is not just my favorite golf event but it may be my favorite event in all of sports. I have been quite vocal over the years and in past writings of just how inspirational the 99 installment was to my life and career. With the exception of that amazing comeback in Brookline,...
The storylines are a plenty coming out of this past week’s spectacular PGA Championship, but the emotions are running rampant. The wind blew hard and the course played tough, but fair.
