My theory on Tiger Woods – you heard it here first
No human being can play golf that well so consistently. The kind of domination Tiger Woods wields over everyone in the world who plays golf requires a mental consistency of which no human being is capable. Therefore, Tiger Woods is not human.

Happy two years to me! Not to be confused with a golf blog-i-versary. Exactly two years ago today, I took up golf. When I passed the one year mark, I officially declared that I was no longer a beginner. Now? I’m just another mediocre golfer. Yay, me! Just thought I’d throw in this random photo [...]

I screwed up my back
Crap – what now? It’s immensely painful to just sit in this chair and type. I will make this very short. Our club championship is determined based on a match play bracket.

Reader question – golfer slang
Mike from Philadelphia submitted this question (to me, not the Goose): Someone was telling me that there are different types of golfers such as Golf freaks, trunk slammers, and club members.
