The 2010 Masters was memorable for many reasons--Phil Mickelson's emotional win, Tiger's return to the public eye, a return to the echoing cheers and Sunday drama. But for Bobby Jones, the 2010 Masters will be downright unforgettable. No, not TH… more »

<p>I'm normally pretty forgiving of broadcast golf announcers. They have to fill a lot of dead air, and then all of the sudden, something spectacular (or spectacularly bad) happens, and they have to think--and speak--really fast. </p> <p… more »

Since I turned 40 a few years ago, I find myself getting into more and more fistfights late at night.Or at least that's the way it feels many mornings getting up out of bed. Some mornings, rather than feeling as if I've been in a barroom brawl, I… more »

At least once a week during the golf season, I walk 6 miles carrying a 40-pound bag on my shoulders. Sometimes the temperature is close to 100F, and the humidity is over 90%. When I'm playing well, I can drive the ball over 300 yards, and, if necessary,… more »

New golf equipment is arriving almost daily, begging for thorough testing and review. This sounds pretty great, but with a foot of snow covering the ground and high temperatures in the teens, it's just torture.At least I have the NFL playoffs to fill… more »

As a kid, I remember receiving the worst possible Christmas present: underwear. Now that I'm an adult (in body, if not in mind), new underwear would be a welcome gift -- especially if that underwear were Equmen.

Let me be perfectly blunt about my golf game of late: It really does not matter what type of ball I play.
If I'm hitting it well, I can play an yellowed wound water-ball and still bomb, gouge, and score. If I'm not, well, I lose a half-dozen or more… more »
