The Commish that Saved the LPGA
Twenty years ago, the LPGA looked a lot like it does today. Sponsors and tournaments were dropping off like flies. The Commissioner was being removed from duty. Players were unhappy. Then the organization made a winning move by replacing Bill Blue with Charles Mechem. He developed a good relationship with the players and the media, [...]

LPGA Reminds Wie That She’s a Sideshow
After failing to sign her scorecard on Friday, Michelle Wie was disqualified from the State Farm Classic. Only the LPGA failed to tell her about it until she had completed her round the following day. After an imaginary journalist asked her how she felt about being used by the LPGA for the attention she brings [...]

Striking Writers May Give Up Golf Memberships But They Keep Their Humor
A week or so ago I put up what I thought was an off topic post that showcased a video made by a writer on strike. That video got a lot of attention (not from this site) and it turns out that writer Bob Kushell actually does play golf. He was kind enough to sit [...]

Interview with Geoff Shackelford – Part One
Geoff Shackelford is one of the most prolific golf bloggers out there. His popular blog is a constant source of informed commentary especially when it comes to history and golf course design. 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 [...]

Pro Team Golf League update – interview
Awhile back, I put up a post about the launch of the Pro Team Golf League. Perhaps naively, I thought it sounded like a great and novel idea.
