This is why some people don’t think golf is a sport

At least once a week during the golf season, I walk 6 miles carrying a 40-pound bag on my shoulders. Sometimes the temperature is close to 100F, and the humidity is over 90%. When I'm playing well, I can drive the ball over 300 yards, and, if necessary...

Johnnie Walker Black keeps you warm during winter

New golf equipment is arriving almost daily, begging for thorough testing and review. This sounds pretty great, but with a foot of snow covering the ground and high temperatures in the teens, it's just torture. At least I have the NFL playoffs to fi...

Golf author Bob Thomas could use a little help from his golfing buddies

A few days ago, I received an e-mail from golf author Bob Thomas's wife, Mary Anne. She informed me that Bob had had a major stroke about 11 weeks ago. Bob is on his way to what is hoped to be a full recovery, she said, and she promised that he would b...

DivPro packs half-dozen functions into single sleek tool

There's a lot to keep track of in golf: 14 clubs, one or more golf balls, etiquette, score, playing partners, cigars, beer, and the course itself. Seems like I'm always fiddling with something or other – it's a wonder I even remember to hit the ball....
