There was genuine fun and zeal at this week's LPGA Tour press conference at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif, previewing the LPGA's inaugural Kia Classic. It's not that PGA Tour press conferences are stoic, but compared to what I saw at La Costa this week, they're like funerals. The Kia Cla...
I woke up this morning fresh as a daisy, chipper as a woodpecker, and before I could take my first sip of coffee, I stumble across Katharine Dyson's blog on tipping. And it set me off. My blood pressure will be off the charts through the weekend now. For me, tipping is usually uncomfortable,...
There is something wonderfully indulgent in having someone else clean and polish your shoes. This is a service offered in more pricey clubs, but often the guy doing the job is located in the men's locker room. I had been told I too would get this service at Fallen Oak Golf Club in Saucier, Mississip...
You Colorado golfers might have read the review of Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks by David R. Holland that we published last summer. Dave knows his Colorado golf, believe me. Given that, his opening line - "A lot of people preach the praises of the Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks as one of the best g...
Unless you’ve been hording Golf Magazine since 2002, you’ve probably let all of the best tips just slip out of consciousness once you tossed the issue away. To be honest, I read over most of them, too, without a second thought. I once had a friend call me out: “How can you read all those go...
Last week I unloaded my Fantasy Golf woes on you, faithful reader (is it plural yet?) I had recently sunk to second place in my league, due mainly to my inability to pick at least one "C" division player who could make it to the weekend. Guess what? Make that three consecutive weeks of "C" division...
Too Much Right Side In Your Golf Swing? Is Your Right Side Messing You Up? Often times we hear right handed Golfers say that they have a problem of using too much of their right side in their golf swing. Left-handed Golfers – just reverse everything I’m saying. I’m sure you’re used to doin...
I've been writing about golf in Hilton Head and the surrounding area for more than a dozen years. If I had a sawbuck for every time I craned my neck rightward while heading east towards the island on US 278, to see what was doing at Rose Hill Golf Club while passing by, by now I would have accumulat...
The cornerstone of empiricism is observation. In his new book It's All About Impact, golf instructor and author Andrew Rice begins with a few basic observations. One is that golf swings vary rather dramatically, even among professional golfers, and even among the top 25 players—both male and fe...
Actually, the draft is tonight at one of our favorite watering holes. I'm just using the art of positive thinking regarding my selections for 2010. I'm also letting you know that I did win the big prize in 2009, in addition to one of the side pots (thank you Henrik Stenson for winning the Players Ch...
The Super Bowl is fast approaching. If you can't get to Miami for the game, no big deal. You know the real action is in Vegas, guys. Of course you know your nights will be spent, drink in hand, around the tables or in a sports book laying it down on your favorite team. But if you're reading this sit...
When I first heard of Tiger Woods car accident today, my first thoughts were for his health. Then, after learning he's fine and already home, I started thinking what fantastic news this is for all of us. You see, for years, Tiger Woods has thwarted our ability to roundly mock him. The dude never ...
I hope the grip and posture review last week was helpful for your golf swing. This week will be a golf lesson on aim and ball position. The video below will explain how aim isn't as easy as it sounds and how to make your aim consistent. It will also talk about ball position and clear up the typic...

Click here to listen. Similarities between Lorena Ochoa and Tiger Woods have become all too evident this year. Both are certainly not showing their stripes as best golfer of the LPGA and PGA Tour although each have done justice to their own careers with several minor wins this season. Ochoa ...
