Golf Press Golf Press. You wanna press me? Do ya? I’ll show you a press. You like this press? The press is similar to the double or nothing bet and is generally invoked at a critical point in the match. The level of emotion accompanying a press is proportionate to the amount of money wagered.

High Heel Golf High Heel Golf fashions have certainly changed from the jacket and tie at the turn of the the last century, to the technical sportswear designed to wick away sweat and protecting us from today’s damaging sun rays. What does dress for success mean on the golf course? Is it form or function?

Hamilton Chip Lagwell III When non-golfers conjure up images of golfers they tend to envision someone like Hamilton Lagwell III, fondly referred to as “Chip”. One of those guys often found at private country clubs or expensive destination golf resorts. We all know the type, but do they really exist? Possibly, but that specimen is

Shirts vs Skins Competition. That is a common answer to the question, “What do you love about Golf?” Shirts vs Skins. Mano a Mano or the comraderie of a Two Man Best Ball is certainly a fun part of golf, at any level. From the Ryder Cup to an early alarm clock helping us get

I recently read a story about Iraq veterans playing golf with their service dogs. A Golf Service Dog. Wouldn’t it be great if we all could go golfing with our dogs! Think about it. You have a nerve-racking putt, and your mutt sits next to you and calms you down as you give them a

The Shadow Knows “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men! The Shadow Knows!” Much to my surprise the USGA addresses using a shadow to indicate the line of a putt. Rule 8-2b/1 “On the Putting Green” actually exists and to my amazement is legal, as long as your caddie or playing partner

You know the guy. The a-hole standing in the gallery who yells ” In the Hole! ” at PGA Tour events. It doesn’t matter if it’s a drive on a 660-yard par-five or if the player is hitting a ball sideways to get the golf ball back into the fairway. This guy is going to

Golf Excellence. Golf is truly a journey in pursuit of excellence. The struggle this pursuit poses drives us to seek remedies from a multitude of sources.

Absurd may be the best word to describe golf, though futility also comes to mind. What is the Eternal Struggle of golf? Punished for his craftiness, Sisyphus was condemned to push an enormous boulder uphill. Only to have it roll back down for eternity. Any golfer can certainly relate to this plight. Camus wrote that

As any golfer knows, one of the minor downsides to the game is the infamous golfer’s tan. I play golf! Blinding white, snowman torso with dark appendages of legs and arms sticking out. Then tipped with white feet and ankles. In other words, it is very difficult to ‘rock’ a speedo sporting a golfer’s tan. For
