The bird putts better than I do
Saw this darling bird on Letterman tonight and had to share. He three putted on the show but he didn’t let it get to him. I wish I had his skills! AJ the parakeet can also dunk a basketball, do gymnastics and bowl – also all better than I can do. Damn bird. Next post.

He often posts observations on “MBA speak” and I particularly enjoy his hilarious series IM’ing with the Commissioners. SportsIllustrated.com’s Gary Van Sickle named [...]

Updating my golf bag – Golf Research in Play
The contents of my bag have been changing lately. Of course, the bag itself has been as well, but I’ll talk about that in a future post. I’m also not talking about the crushed chips & crackers, tees I’ll never use, gadgets I forget about or the orgy of heterogeneous golf balls I have collected [...]

Commentary on The Masters and a proposed new PGA Tour slogan
These Guys are Good Pretty Good Better than You. Whether it’s all part of the hoax or not, Tiger Woods looked almost human at The Masters. In fact, Augusta National Golf Club made a bunch of professional golfers look silly this year. The combination of the weather, the rock hard course conditions, insanely slick greens [...]

Latest submission up at worldgolf
My latest column is up at worldgolf.com. Well, most of it is. In light of my recent circumstances and the strong feelings I have about my personalized golf gear, I thought it would be nice to do a column on the personal nature of such items and the impact they can have on a person’s [...]
