James Piot was 3 down heading to the last 9 holes of the 36-hole championship match in last week’s U.S. Amateur at Oakmont. He erased the deficit and won the match 2-1 on the 35th hole. What may be more impressive than the comeback is what he did it with. He rolled a flat-stick that...

Flashback or Comeback?
Last week was only the 3rd installment of the Women’s Senior U.S. Open, but it felt just like old times. Annika Sorenstam returned to the game she dominated for so many years, and dominated yet again. She cleared the field by 8 strokes at Brooklawn Country Club and won her first major in 15 years,...
PR is a PR Nightmare
I’ve often stuck up for Patrick Reed. I like his game and his golf swing. He plays with a lot of passion and gusto. He’s a perfect guy to have on your side in team events. He wins on extremely tough and famous courses; Doral, Augusta, and now Torrey Pines to name a few. In...
Callaway Kickin’ It Old School For ’21
Ladies bust out your hip-hugger jeans and fellas throw on your oversize Tommy Hilfiger polos and douse yourself in Curve cologne. Allow Britney Spears or N*Sync to serenade you as you read. Callaway Golf is taking us all back to the early 2000’s with their 2021 equipment line. Instead of Ross and Rachel, it’s Bertha...
Naughty List: Tiger Haters
Well, Tiger Woods did it again. Last weekend he spoiled and entertained us with his unworldly talents. But this time it was through his 11 year old son. Its obvious young Charlie has inherited all of his father’s gifts, but he has received some world-class guidance as well. From his incredible impact position to his...
A Thankful Holiday for Callaway
Callaway Golf was indeed thankful this past Thanksgiving week as they were a dominant presence in the bags of all 4 superstar participants in The Match III and in the winner’s bag on the European Tour. Steph Curry and Phil Mickelson wheel a full bag of Callaway gear, except for one interesting choice for Lefty....
2020: A Banner Year for PING
Michael Thompson tugged at everyone’s heart strings on Sunday with his emotional post-victory interview after his birdie putt fell on 18 to clinch his 2nd tour win, first since 2013. Being known as a 2-time tour winner is much better than being referred to as “Lexi’s brother” (his sister is LPGA Tour star Lexi Thompson)....
5 Things Every Amateur Should Stop Doing
There are many things amateur and novice golfers need to improve on of course, but it isn’t always swing related or something technical from a lesson. A lot of the decisions you make on the course contribute to a high score just as much as a bad fundamental. Here are the top 5 things you...
What’s in the Bag: The Match
Sunday’s match was just what we needed. The golf was good, the star-power was great, and the banter between the four players was awesome. Justin Thomas shined in his on-course commentary debut, and he along with Charles Barkley and Trevor Immelman, made an excellent analyst team. With more than $20 million raised for Covid-19 related...
The Man in Black
Patrick Reed isn’t flashy, but he gets the job done. And he dressed the part of the evil villain last Sunday in Mexico. Dawned in all black, he chased down the world’s top players on the back 9, enroute to his 2nd World Golf Championship and 8th career victory. Did he sell his soul to...
