Golf History
Golf originated in the 1500’s, in Scotland. It’s popularity grew so much that it became outlawed by 1570, because too many people were playing golf and were not practicing their archery! Today’s blog wants to find out other interesting facts about the history of our grand pursuit. Did you know, for instance, that Mary, Queen […]
Nicknames
Over the years, there have been several great golf nicknames. Some personal favorites are: 1. “Champagne” Tony Lema. Lema, who was tragically killed in a plane accident at the height of his career was someone who loved life and lived it to the very fullest. 2. “The Squire”; Gene Sarazen. The first man to win […]
Required Reading

Golf as a Corporate Tool
It has been said, very accurately, that one can find out about someone’s true character, by playing golf with them. A student of ours, who is the CEO of a very large company, actually uses the golf course; to interview potential executives. His rationale is that, by playing a round of golf with the candidate, […]
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 […]
