• The golf book 'The Art of Fast Play' couldn't be more timely as the USGA rolls out its 'While We're Young' campaign
  It seems everybody is jumping on the "play faster" bandwagon. The United States Golf Association rolled out its "While We're Young" campaign during last week's U.S. Open, hoping to spur people to quit hanging out at the beer cart (a commercial featuring Arnold Palmer) and taking too long to rea…

• "While we're young" – The curse of slow play
  I'd like to know what other people think of the USGA's new series of commercials discouraging slow play? I'm not quite sure how to interpret them. In two of them, it appears to me like the dawdler in question (Tiger Woods in one, and Clint Eastwood in the other) doesn't speed up at all, but rat…

• Want to get better at golf? Try a Player Development Program
  Golf must be growing. It seems like I've talked to more people in the last few months who have just taken up the game than I have in the last decade. One question I keep getting is "where should I go for a lesson or to learn the game?" The answer is never simple, of course, because there's not o…

  After a good night's rest we next tackled Royal Porthcawl which, if you are unfamiliar, is THE championship links in Wales. This is a magnificent test and has that Open Championship look. You can get a good viewing in 2014 when the Senior Open Championship will be played here. Course conditions wer…

• Adios, Vaqueros
  "Adios, Vaqueros," which means "Goodbye, cowboys," is where the expression "Adios, Buckaroos" originated. It has nothing to do with anything, other than this is my farewell post. I've enjoyed writing this blog over the past number of years and have had a terrific run with TravelGolf and WorldGolf.…

• Pete Dye's "Teeth" along with his newer golf courses at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic continue to set the bar high
  It all started in the late 1960s when Gulf and Western asked Pete Dye to come to the Dominican Republic and find the ideal site for a new golf resort, Casa de Campo. Dye suggested some 7,000 acres of thorny tangled land near La Romana on the country's southern coast. Getting the green light, Dye or…

• At long last: Makai Golf Club at St. Regis Princeville Resort on Kauai lands Top 100 spot
  I guess Makai Golf Club at the St. Regis Princeville Resort isn't the most under-respected golf course in Hawaii anymore. Three years after an extensive redesign and upgrade of the golf course, Golf Digest has finally named Makai to its 2013-2014 Top 100 Public rankings. I'll have to find a new…

  MESQUITE, Nev. -- Plenty of Vegas-bound golfers make a day trip to Mesquite to play the most famous course in town, venerable Wolf Creek. I know; I’ve done it myself, with 11 other equally ill-informed golf buddies. Wolf Creek is certainly epic, but a far better value and a course with nearly th…
