 This Week at TravelGolf.com: Sept. 14, 2004
Not surprisingly, we received plenty of responses to last week's commentary by Staff Writer Michael Patrick Shiels on the
challenges
of youth golf. Many readers had little sympathy for Shiels after
learning of
the troubles he and his 7-year-old son encountered at two Michigan
courses.
"Mr. Shiels is hopelessly out of touch with reality," wrote Bill Taylor
of
Sutter Creek, Calif. "Keep the dawdling, out-of-their-element young
children
off the course. Or if you're that concerned, build a course for kids."
For
the most part, readers agreed with Taylor, with most asking that young
golfers stay far away of the actual course. For the sake of golf's
future,
here's hoping a happy compromise can be reached by all in the coming
years.
While our primary focus this week is understandably on the Ryder Cup
(see
below), we're also closely monitoring the hurricane activity in Florida,
where Charley and Frances left their devastating marks over the past few
weeks. As always, your comments are
welcome on any topic, including this week's action at Oakland Hills.
Have a great week.

Anything could happen this year's Ryder Cup, set for Sept. 17-19 at the
South Course at Oakland Hills Country Club in metro Detroit. And that's
what
makes this event such great fun. As Senior Writer Jason Scott reports,
the
Ryder Cup is really nothing more than a glorified scramble in front of
40,000 fans: Whoever makes the most putts will win, a fact even U.S.
captain
Hal Sutton admits.

We've sifted through a stack as deep as the Shinnecock rough of the
newest
swing aids. Of course, none of these will help you as much as a summer's
worth of lessons with your local golf pro. But if you're more the
do-it-yourself type, you might find these helpful in shaving a few
strokes
off your score.
