Brady Riggs has always been one of my favorite writing pros. He had been involved with third-tier magazines before being snapped up by a first-tier magazine in 2007. Until today, I was a devotee. Now, I am adrift in the seas of disillusionmentationism… more »

Colleague Tim McDonald and I had the same, simultaneous inspiration...too much USA coverage, not enough Euro. He focused on Luke Donald's absence, which I consider overrated and he feels is underrated. Good thing...disagreement makes for a solid conver… more »

Today in Kentucky, three LPGA stars may have twinkled in a dynamic matchup. Kudos to Mindy Kim, who held off Vicky Hurst by one, the best player by a mile on the DFT this season, and Stacey Lewis by two. Lewis is the recent Arkansas graduate who led th… more »

Three other events have our attention this week. In the annual "this event predicts success for no one" event for women, Amanda Blumenhurst takes on Azahara Munyoz (no tilde for the "n," so I substituted a "y") in the 2-round final. Both finalists play… more »

Two points on Tim's blog entry...the bloom is off the rose and the Cup events are seen in their entirety as the money-making shams they are. Sure, there's some history, but that certainly doesn't matter to the organizers. It might be the most stressful… more »

I am most certainly not encouraging the young Hawaiian lass to get drunk in a British way. I am encouraging her to get angry after her 3rd-hole bogey. I have never seen her pump herself up like Dottie Pepper used to do, like many great players do. She… more »

Greg Norman of Jupiter, Florida, tossed a savage 88 today during the first round of Western Amateur medal play at Point O' Woods. The shark pup inscribed four doubles, one triple and eight single bogeys on his scorecard. He waited fourteen holes to mak… more »

Thanks to Brad Klein and a number of other figures in the golf world, a hugely successful auction was held last month to benefit Bob Labbance. Bob is a wonderful writer and the director of notowngolf.com. He is fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease and recentl… more »

Amid the grandeur and tragedy that is 2008, golf books don't rate very high in a global sense. Within their own universe of golfdom, however, certain ones stand out for their importance. If you have The Wow Factor on your shelf or desk and have yet to op… more »

I have a piece of spam sitting in my inbox that I do not dare open. I am the fool of no one, unlike Chris Baldwin, who is the fool for all. As the director of a 3000-address email list, I receive a lot of spam in the box reserved for that list, over 20… more »

Throughout this politicized year of living dangerously through a rose-colored lens, I was forced into actual lens alteration. My Tamron zoom made a trip home to the factory after giving up the dreaded ERR 99. Despite the best efforts of various cyberna… more »

That title blows chunks, I do admit. However, I have your attention, so read on.
Nationwide Tour...When does it ever come first? Today it does! Over the last four years, it has taken $196K, $193K, $178K, and $189K to make the top 25 and get a pass… more »
