A Rivalry?

The golf world would like nothing better than a rivalry. Someone who will step up and challenge Tiger on a consistent basis. Palmer and Nicklaus almost had it but truth be told, as great as Arnold Palmer was, Jack Nicklaus, pretty much owned him. No; what we would really like is a 1980’s Laker/Celtic, knock-down, […]

Golf has given us some great characters over the years and been the scenery for some of the best one-liners, known to man. I thought that I might share some of my personal favorites with you, but we really want to hear about your favorites! As a young adult (and the adult part of that […]

A Quest for Knowledge

Sometimes, the thought of paying for golf when you're not at the top of your game doesn't sit well. Glancing at a scorecard that reflects a score in the triple digits, while simultaneously combing the calendar for a free weekend in which to take a golf getaway, can seem contradictory. Vacations, especially ones involving golf, can be downright expensive.

CHARACTERS……

What we need are some characters! In this day and age of “political correctness”, we need more rah and less blah. No, I am not advocating that we need to have showgirls in bikinis, holding scoreboards, nor am I saying that golf tournaments should turn into soccer matches; but a little color would go a […]
