Three weeks ago, the world No. 2 was oak-solid in Inisbrook, and climbed back to No. 1. Two weeks ago, the world No. 1 in the minds of many, if not on top of any lists, won a tournament for the first time in a while. And last weekend, a scraggly-bearded, steady-swinging redhead chilled the … [Read more...]
Splendor in the grass, and all it has to do is grow
Noble Hendrix is the kind of environmentalist who’d rather do it than talk circles around it. He’s firmly in the practical environmentalist camp, rather than the theoretical/philosophical/political, where even people of like minds can find much to squabble over. Golf courses grow grass. No … [Read more...]
It’s OK: The Concierge understands
by Bart Potter If I ever wanted to exercise my right to be truly golf-deranged, I know the guy who can set up my five-day 18-36-36-36-18 road trip. He’s in Bend, Ore., and he’s got 22 golf courses and the Central Oregon high desert at his fingertips. This means he knows where to hang … [Read more...]
Golf trip by RV? It pencils, if you can stand the idea
The Seattle Golf and Travel Show in February was directly adjacent to the Seattle RV Show, a happy confluence of scheduling given the golf show's increased emphasis on golf travel destinations. Before we even get out the calculator to see if an RV makes sense for your golf road trip, there are … [Read more...]
It works for Elk, and now it’s on video
Steve Elkington is more than a championship player. He’s a questing soul, a seeker of truth and beauty in the art, science and sorcery of golf. Last spring (The Blogolfosphere, May 10, 2011), Craig Foster got an email from Elkington, a 10-time winner on the PGAtour, including the 1995 PGA … [Read more...]
Mother Nature and other proud mamas
Jan. 20, 2012, 12:21 a.m. PST In the fast-twitch world of blogs and tweets and tubes, it’s only right that Mother Nature has her say, too. It’s past midnight, and the guys are still working at the end of the street to rebuild the power pole that tilted under the weight of frozen snow and the big … [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...]
Tiger: When he’s bad he’s better
Fred Couples said it: “When I’m 100 years old and I tell somebody that I captained two of these, and that Tiger Woods won both cups for me, they’ll look at me and go, ‘Wow.’” Woods won his singles match for the Presidents Cup-clinching point, which was more a matter of timing than making a clutch … [Read more...]
Of argyles and micro-stripes: Presidents Cup too close to call
Let’s talk fashion. Really. Except for the odd bunker blast this year and the fascinating Royal Melbourne torture track, it’s more interesting than the golf. The Presidents Cup is a bi-yearly late-season curio on the world golf calendar, and it ain’t the Ryder Cup. It could be said the Americans, … [Read more...]
