The game is available in stores today and if you pre-ordered it, it’ll be on the way. It’s available [...]

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, [...]

Big Plans, Please Help
Oh, do I have plans. Okay, well they’re not exactly “plans” at this point as much as ideas. But oh man, do I have ideas, and they’re working into plans. Granted, I do that a lot, but I honestly think this time I’ll find the magical mixture to make me bring them to fruition – [...]

Where Are Golf Digest and Golf World In All This?
Knock knock… yoohoo… Golf Digest… Golf World… over here. There are hundreds of thousands of golfers just getting word that their favorite golf magazine is ceasing publication. Your sister magazine, I might add. No word of it on your sites except for the standard press release that’s practically buried? Did you know the subscription link [...]

Golf For Women Closing Up Shop
Sad news today – after 20 years, Golf For Women Magazine is closing. The July/August issue is its last. My editor from their website still isn’t sure what’s going to happen with their online presence so there could still be some life there. That Conde Nast couldn’t make the book continue succeed is daunting to [...]

Great golf course closing soon – play now!
There are a couple of weekends left to get your round(s) in at a terrific golf course. I’ve written about Primm Valley Golf Club before and I absolutely love both of its 18-hole courses. There are two golf courses on the property – the Lakes and the Desert. They’re amazingly different from each other so [...]

Tiger Woods out for the Season, PGA stock plummets
Tiger’s taking his ball (and US Open trophy) and going home. For the rest of the year. Stress fractures of the tibia, a torn ligament, and his upcoming ACL surgery have the world’s number one hobbling away with his winnings to recover for the rest of the year. I hope he has a good disability [...]

Now that’s entertainment! (and other US Open thoughts)
If you missed the US Open, you missed some of the best golf ever televised. It was incredible. Almost literally. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was rigged to script the drama. I guess it’s conceivable that Tiger could aim for an adjacent hole’s bunker knowing he could execute the amazing [...]

Will Annika retire on top?
Annika Sorenstam is playing with confidence, grace, and determination. She looks like the Annika we know and love from before her injuries. Her dominant win last week in Virginia keeps her solidly in second place to Lorena Ochoa and the momentum is on her side. More on that in my latest Golf For Women post [...]
