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."

"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.
