Golf's Greatest Drivers
One of golf’s best-known aphorisms is ‘Drive for show, putt for dough’ but your chance to make a putt is somewhat reduced if you can’t find the fairway, and then the green. At the very highest level the quality of ball-striking is such that tournaments are often won by the guy who has a hot putter that week, but week in and out driving is the bedrock on which a golfer’s game is built. Sam Snead went as far as to say that you should only practice driving and putting.Read more…The Greatest Putters in Golf
We all know that putting is a game within a game and those who manage to excel at the black arts are usually the ones to go home with someone else’s money in their pocketWillie Park Jr famously said that the man who can putt is a match for anyone and in the rarified atmosphere of today’s pro Tours that has never been truer. Players can hit the ball so far, with such accuracy, that the man who can putt the best settles tournaments and championships on the greens. It has always been so but never more than today, when everyone, it seems, is a peerless ball striker.Read more…The Ways Golfers Screw Up
The biggest problem with us golfers, I suspect, is that we are eternally hopeful and anyone who plays the game demonstrates time and again that old adage about re-marrying – it demonstrates the triumph of optimism over experience.Despite the fact that the game can make happy men very old, that the best we manage is to ride the crest of a ripple and that our dreams of playing well and taking the money from our opponents usually disappear before the third tee, we nevertheless always think – or hope – that it will be better next time. And that’s part of the problem.Read more…Carnoustie - Fearsome or Fair?
After playing five holes of the championship course at Carnoustie you could be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss is about. The holes are all par fours, only one of which (the second) is over 400 yards and, if you’ve managed to avoid bunkers you could be in pretty good shape and feeling rather pleased with yourself.And then you’re staring down the barrel of Hogan’s Alley – the 500-yard, par five sixth that was re-named in 2003 on the 50th anniversary of the one time the great man played our national championship – which of course he won.Read more…A Profile of Johnny Miller
We all know, from his television commentaries with America’s NBC network, that Johnny Miller can talk the talk but for a time in the mid 1970s he also walked the walk – probably better than anyone else who ever stepped on a golf course.Everyone he competed against, and that included Nicklaus, Watson, Weiskopf and Trevino, knew that if Miller blew hot he was unbeatable, and that even on an off day he was still pretty damned good. Nicklaus said of him: ‘The player who consistently hit his short irons closer to the hole than anyone I ever saw was Johnny Miller in his prime.Read more…Why 17th Holes Can Ruin Your Day
Seventeenth holes on golf courses seem to be designed with just one aim – to ruin your day.In golf there are rules, by which most of us abide (if we know what they are), and then there are laws, which may be unwritten but are much more powerful. For example, it is a rule of golf that you may spend five minutes searching for a ball that may be lost – but it is a law of golf that if you don’t find it within one minute, you never will.Read more…Golf Fees in the Bahamas
Taking some time off from your busy work and spending it on your favorite hobby is probably the best gift that you can give to yourself. You know how much it takes to earn money-working overtime, under pressure, and sometimes neglecting significant events such as your birthday or your wedding anniversary. You will eventually appreciate your hard work if you know how to take some time off and spend it with your favorite hobby-whether camping and water skiing in the great lakes of good old USA or fishing on the nearby pond.Read more…Augusta National Myths
We all think we know Augusta National because it’s the only course to host a Major every year. But there are a number of falsehoods and misunderstandings about the placeMyth: You need to be a great putterIan Woosnam, Bernhard Langer and Fred Couples have all won there in the last 15 years and none of them would be regarded as the best at wielding a short (or in Bernhard’s case, long) stick.What you need to be is a great iron player who puts his ball into the right part of the green, so that putting does not become an obstacle course.Read more…The Best Books in Golf
There are a lot of books out there on the wonderful game of golf but not too many are worth keeping and reading again. You will notice there are no instruction manuals in our list, because trying to learn how to play golf from a book is like trying to become a great lover by reading an illustrated magazine on self-abuse. Also, ‘best’ means most enjoyable – either because of their excellence or excrescence.Read more…The Final Tally
