  This past weekend, Sharp Park Golf Course, a Pacifica, Calif., seaside municipal golf links built in 1932 by master architect Alister MacKenzie, celebrated its 80th anniversary. But how many more will it get? The course has been threatened by a lawsuit brought in 2011 by a collection of conserva…

• "Dad" and "duffer" both begin with D – Father's Day gift ideas
  My father has never set foot on a golf course. He doesn’t wear ties, either. As a result, I have no idea what to get him for Father's Day. Fortunately for me, he tells me every year that he doesn't want anything. If your own dear old Dad isn't as low-maintenance as mine, however, here's a short…

• A Match-Play Weekend
  The LPGA and European tours are contesting their respective match-play championships this week. It's a shame that they aren't valued higher, in the form of major championship status.

• Even on the golf course, girls just want to have fun
  Chatting with one of my friends who had just started to play the game, I asked her, "How are you enjoying it?" "It's a kick," she answered. "The best part is being outdoors with friends; having fun." And there you have it. Many women, especially new golfers, find the fun part of the game…

• The Club at Savannah Harbor soon to have its turn in the spotlight
  Crossing the magnificent Savannah River Bridge towards South Carolina, experienced drivers turn their gaze to the right. Looking east affords a glimpse of the leafy and flourishing downtown, while looking west provides a landscape of industrial blight. Another compelling reason to fix your eye on t…

• Coincidence? National Geographic's top two 'Literary Cities' are big-time golf destinations
  Golfers tend to love books, and folks like to read when it's raining. So perhaps it comes as no surprise that the top two "Literary Cities" as determined by National Geographic are also big-time golf destinations with a reputation for rain checks. Checking in at No. 1 is Edinburgh, Scotland, wh…
