Fantasy Golf 2011: Winter Season Begins To Stabilize At The Top At The Hope
A big-points week at the Bob Hope represented the second chance in three to garner some numbers and separate yourself from the crowd. The absence of cut at Hyundai meant all eight selections had a shot (unless they withdrew, or cut themselves on reefs,...
Golf Sense or, the Change of Movement
A gentlman from England, Roy Palmer, sent a book my way, titled "Golf Sense." The book promises "practical tips on how to play golf in the zone." Ahh, the zone. Fine place to vacation, and we'd all like to live there! Most of us ...
Snow Golf…Yes, Snow Golf…Really!
I was born and raised in the winter climes. A four-year college escape to North Carolina and a one-year hiatus in southern Ohio did little to disconnect my nervous system from the effects of snow. I have hit golf balls off mats, from heated stalls, o...
2011 Mondays: Fantasy Golf Sony Open Update
It might come as nearly the shock as the Patriots' collapse on Sunday, that no one in the league of leagues picked Mark Wilson at the SONY Open. I do know that Wilson can now make plans to head to Hawaii next year, as he is in the Tournament of Champ...
The end of an era…golf course construction halts in western New York
I knew that this day would come...somewhere, in the front of my mind, I had pushed "The End" to the darkest, dimmest, most distant recesses of my consciouness. Throughout my youth, one public and one private course had opened in western New...

I have been working for nearly 35 years to perfect the early release, the scoop and the left-wrist-break-down, with much success. Despite these endeavors, my hand-eye coordination and a whimsical ability to putt and chip with certain acuity have allo...

Golf @ Halloween: Things I Suspect

Espiritu Santo Trophy to Korea at World Amateur Golf Team Championship
A funny thing happened this weekend: Korea dominated women's golf. Not Jimin Kang, Jiyai Shin or Meena Lee, all of whom placed in the top ten at LPGA Malaysia. Instead, let's turn our attention to the World Amateur Team Championship, run by the Inter...
Number One in the Golfing World…Is There One?
Parity, lasses and lads, is the word of the day. We see it in american football this season and we have known it existed in golf for at least two or three years. The last truly powerful number one was that ancient wizard, Eldrick "Tiger" Wood...
Days One of the 2010 Ryder Cup…Daze?
It took more than one day to resolve the opening fourballs (better ball in the good new USA); the afternoon foursomes (alternate shot) never broke ground. No doubt the armchair caddying and second-guessing has begun. It's such a fun sport and inexact s...
