TravelGolf.com This Week's Buzz

Doug Carey This Week at TravelGolf.com: March 23, 2004

Associate editor Dave Berner apparently touched a nerve with his commentary last week on the PGA of America, claiming "the association as a whole is currently misguided and continually misses opportunities to make strong, viable connections with the weekend hacker."

Many golfers responded with their own thoughts, including Paul A. Reinking, a PGA Professional from Kankakee, Ill. "To insinuate that the PGA member is not trying to do his share is off the mark," Reinking wrote. Others supported Berner's opinion that the PGA of America must do more to promote the game. Whatever your position, it's certainly an issue deserving of more attention.

While we continue to debate the PGA's viability, be sure to check out our usual full roster of reviews and travel features, plus the latest entry from European Tour rookie Robert Rock, who checked in after making the cut at the Qatar Masters. As always, your comments are welcome on any topic. Have a great week.

Yarrow Golf Club Michigan golf filled with change

The past year was filled with plenty of lowlights at several courses. The area seems to have reached its saturation point, but that doesn't necessarily mean all is lost. With Rick Smith, Treetops' upgrades and the Ryder Cup, there's still plenty to like about Michigan golf. Despite some rough patches, 2004 figures to be a special time.
