I booked a round for a twosome on Monday morning at 9:00 on November 7th at The Legacy knowing I'd only be able to use one of the tee times. That leaves a free round of golf for anyone who either lives in Vegas or will be visiting that day. Anyone is welcome to join me for a free round on...

Ten minutes prior to my tee time on day 2 of our club championship my 4-month old Wilson Staff D200 cracked on the crown after hitting a range ball. Not wanting to use a pro shop demo, I tried to hit it again, only to see a crack open up from hell to toe on the entire topline. I know Wilson...

I had been mired in a slump since the golf season began. I would have some decent rounds, but too often I was like Tiger during the 3 round at Memorial - which is to say more or less lost. I'm not sure why it jumped into my head, but after hitting an atrocious 6-iron approach that wasn't quite...

The other day during a round with my regular weekend group we got to talking about how we might fare against ourselves when we were younger. Most of us are well past middle-aged, with the youngest being 46 and the oldest 64. Having played golf for all of our lives, it was interesting to hear...

Hard to believe there isn't already a thread congratulating Mo Martin for her incredible victory at the British Open, so I'll start one. Similar to Stacy Lewis' victory last year, she was able to post a an early number that those left on the course were unable to match. Her 3-wood second shot...

My wife and I went to Sunday's final round of the Wal-Mart NW Arkansas LPGA event. We had a good time, but on the way home we got to talking about how golf - especially when compared to all other sporting events - is better watched on television. We followed a group of great (hell, in person...

I thought it would be fun to experiment with the weight of my Cleveland Custom Driver so I ordered two weights (7 & 11 grams) from GolfSmith. I was surprised that they didn't fit, and then read they were for the Classic XL version. First of all, I can't believe Cleveland would make a new line...

Last Friday night I had the opportunity to hear sports psychologist Bob Rotella speak for about 90 minutes. He's a very engaging speaker, throwing in personal stories about Seve, Jack and the like along with his insights about helping players get out of their own way when playing this great...

I'm a good player from tee to green - but then there's the green part. The dreaded green part. I seldom 3-putt, but then again I seldom make any putts outside of 4 feet. If I could make my share of putts in the 4-8 foot range, I'd be truly dangerous. But I don't. Seldom, anyway. With no...

I have had golf seasons end in variety of ways, but this is the most painful one.... Literally. Tuesday morning I was a passenger in a golf cart, and then I wasn't. We were going down a steep golf cart path that was slick with rain. The driver of the cart really wasn't going that fast because...

I've come back to the game after a voluntary 9-month layoff. I was at a KC Golfsmith to hit a few drivers and grabbed an old used Cleveland Hi-Bore 6 iron to warm up with. I was amazed at how great the club felt. So amazed that I went over to their iron rack to see if they had a full set. No...

We just came back from our annual Vegas golf trip. Everything about it, with the exception of the first nine of the first day - which was a total "What in the world are you doing?" disaster - was great. The weather was actually milder than we've been experiencing this summer in Missouri. Our...

Please tell me I'm not crazy, or at least that I'm not the only one who talks to my golf clubs during a round. When I'm playing with a group the dialogue is usually just in my head, but when I'm playing as a single I'll have an ongoing conversation with each of my 14 buddies. "C'mon driver...

My annual Vegas trip begins today. Totally psyched. My golfing buddy and I will start with 36 holes at a course right by the KCI airport before flying out to LV tonight. We have the following tee times for the week: July 17: Rhodes Ranch Bear's Best July 18: The Chase at Coyote...

How many of you track your stats on a software program. Which one to you use, and why? I've been using 'Golf Specialist', which I like a lot, but I'm wondering what else is out there. Thanks.
