Read an article discussing optics and their application to putting, pretty amazing stuff. All the colors, shapes and dots found on putters aren’t some designers way of starting a new trend in golf nor are they some nifty marketing ploy to make some putters stand out more than others, well, not totally.. 🙂 They are…

They’ve got about 140 members and have been around for 35 years. It looks like there’s an annual fee of $34.00 and they only…

Doesn’t that just figure? Kid nails an Ace on his 3rd round of golf…. He wasn’t keeping score, he was using a borrowed club and a borrowed bag and on the 6th hole, from the ladies tee, he hits a driver that lands on the green and rolls 10 feet for a hole in one.…

The Link Freedom Debt Relief. I know this is way off topic, but I found it very interesting, and worthy of sharing. The company is called Freedom Debt Relief and they help people reduce their outstanding non asset debts like credit cards, lines of credit, etc.. They don’t do anything dealing with an asset involved,…

Over the weekend, I made my way out to Falcon’s Fire, for an invigorating and at the same time, exhausting round of golf. I also gained some new insight into myself, and that is, I hate golfing alone. Thinking back, I can’t recall a single time I’ve ever golfed a full 18 holes solo. There’s…

They’ve also done more than their fair share of charity work, including creating…

This is Ridiculous! A 66 year old long-haul trucker scores two holes-in-one in the same round! Bob Hickey, from Gaylord Michigan (hickey, gaylord, man, it’s almost too hard to resist..), was playing Marsh Ridge when it happened. His first-ever ace was on the 10th hole a 167-yard par 3, using a 7-iron. This is an…

The excerpt says this shot was for a car, watch where the ball goes. It looks like it went in the hole and bounced out to the left. Crazy….. and just to kill some more time with some impossible shots, check out this one. It’s Michael Jordan hitting a shout out of the sand. Guess…

Yes, crazy I know… Johnny Miller, one of the old school greats, was quoted saying “Players these days, ain’t got no class, no style in their swing, all they got is long hits and good technology, none have the finesse of the old days!” He was mentioned in an article where Mike Malaska asked him…

I’ve encountered this same article on more than one occasion and I read it every time I do. A lot of it is common sense, but there are some nuggets to be found. It’s written by a lady named Lisa Furlong and she gives tips on what to do if invited to play golf with…

Tried to play Dubsdread over the weekend but they were booked until 5:30pm on both Saturday & Sunday! I suppose it’s for the best, I contacted SkyCaddie about the new course layout to see if they had mapped it yet and they said there’s someone scheduled to map it but it hasn’t occurred yet. So…

Perusing through my RSS reader I came across this article about steel shafts. Did you know that 85% of the PGA Tour have shafts who’s technology hasn’t really advanced in 28 years? Seems pretty crazy to me! Most use the True Temper Dynamic Gold. Graeme Horwood the VP of engineering and R&D at True Temper…

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding this golf ball recently and I was unable to resist being swept up in the hype. Here’s the link I went to the old Special-T Golf up the street to inquire about this ball and the salesman had never heard of it… don’t ya hate that? So we…
