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.

doubt that she qualifies for the honor. At age 82, Bell continues to

Women's golf
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.
