Equipped
They don't let you throw your golf balls around the course, so you need sticks to hit 'em, little thingies to stand 'em up on when you swing at 'em, gadgets to gauge how far you want to hit 'em, and so on and so forth with the tools and accoutrements, and then you need to look good doing it all. Like swing thoughts, the possibilities are endless.
Check-in: Craig Foster
There's been some news in the news lately, you might have noticed. Like, we had an election, and I could stop right there, but then there's the Tiger Woods re-entry into competitive golf, and it got me thinking I needed somebody to tell me how I ought to be thinking about what I'm thinking … [Read more...]
Me and Minnie Driver and the morning moon
Comes the question: “Is that a driver?” “It’s my new mini driver,” I say, to which somebody always says, “Minnie Driver?” Yeah. Versatile actor, sort of hot, cool Brit accent. As for the golf club, it’s sharp, hot black, with red Callaway accents. It was in play for all the driving holes … [Read more...]
Have tool, will smoke: The one golf gadget you deserve
IT WOULD BE EASY to think of The Cigardian as a solution without a problem.

You, because … [Read more...]
In golf, one is the happiest number

You might even think they meant well, all of them, if they weren’t shouting over each other and jostling for attention and managing to agree, once your swing is … [Read more...]
Liquidation of a golf-store dream
OLYMPIA – You’ll find him tucked back off an alley in a neighborhood of warehouses and empty buildings, and it’s by appointment: He’s the guy with the key. His vocation is golf teaching pro. These days, he’s a liquidator. He’s making a little something off each sale he makes of the marked-down golf … [Read more...]
The spin on negative ions
Now comes Paul Azinger on video, urging me to try a golf shirt that promises to make me run faster and jump higher … no, no, that’s PF Flyers, still making cool sneakers in throwback styles with a modern vibe ... It all begins to run together, out there in the socialsphere, but what I … [Read more...]
It’s Pink Golf Glove Awareness Month
If it seems like Breast Cancer Awareness Month has gone on for a lot longer than its 31 days, as of its official final day today, well, it has, since at least the April part of the month, when Bubba Watson packed the pink driver and won The Masters with it. All this awareness is a good thing, in … [Read more...]
The Conversation: It could save your marriage
Make no mistake, I, for one, appreciate the thought. I am very reluctant to discourage the impulse. They are the ones, after all, who love you and want you to be happy. That they might have been slow to catch on that golf is the most important thing in your life (and still might not realize that … [Read more...]
My father’s spoon: A new golf club, only six decades old
by Bart Potter It’s the kind of place you look for excuses to go back to. When you’re there, you make up reasons to linger. Fortunately, if you play much golf at all, you need to visit somebody like Craig Foster sooner or later: shafts break, grips get slick, new equipment mysteriously finds … [Read more...]
