Mr. Joe Gomes was courteous enough to fire me off a personal email today, concerning the ongoing litigation 'twixt Callaway and Acushnet (parent company of Titleist). Here are the first two paragraphs:
Fairhaven, MA (December 29, 2008) - Acushnet Compa… more »

I have to give my colleague Kiel C. deserved props for shining a light on some desirable holiday gifts this month, and for lighting a fire under my lazy keyboard. Having countered his Sun Mountain blog with my own Sunice submission, I'll now attempt to… more »

My cyber friend Kiel professes his respect and enthusiasm for Sun Mountain outerwear in a recent blog entry. I, too, have much respect for the Idaho company that began the golf outerwear renaissance stateside, but I also look north to America's Hat (or,… more »

In Anchorman, by his own admission, Champ Kind was known for his catch phrase: Whammy! It may not have been the first exclamation to escape my lips when I finished a round with the uPro gps device but, looking back, it now seems to be the most appropri… more »

When they need to be called out, call them out. When Carolyn Bivens raised xenophobia to new stature this year with the English-Only rule, she was dutifully called out by the media, both traditional and cutting-edge.
In the past, I had a great time c… more »

Good things are happening in Florida this week. An apparently more humble and certainly wiser Michelle Wie is currently -5 on the day, -8 over two rounds, and in second place at Q-School. Stacy Lewis, the "I finished third at the Open but I am not exem… more »

The Duramed Futures Tour recognized the youthful Vicky Hurst as its money champion in 2008. Hurst won four events on her way to $93K in earnings, $14 grand more than runner-up and three-time winner Mindy Kim. 12 golfers won tournaments on the LPGA's de… more »

While driving to Glen Oak in East Amherst, New York, my daily epiphany arrived in the form of a U.S. Open flashback. Tiger Woods has three U.S. Open trophies on his shelf at home and all were earned on public-access golf courses. Two of the aforementione… more »

Two compelling stories of return from the depths. Jeff Overton is sitting at #126 on the list and is recovering from an emergency apendectomy (are they ever planned?) not more than two weeks previous. He was even through two rounds and -3 today, good f… more »

Not a law firm, not a nursery rhyme. Good to see Zach Johnson return to the winners' circle. Check out the runners-up: Charlie Wi, Mark Wilson and Tim Wilkinson. What are the odds that all three would begin with "Wi" and that Wilson and Wil(kin)son w… more »

A fellow from middle America decided to go on a quest a decade ago. He completed the quest by playing America's Top 100 golf courses. He then decided to sit down and write a book about his travels.
Larry Berle dedicates 90 percent of the book to a… more »
