Chris Meadows tackles four golf questions today. I posted a link to his column last week, but I find it valuable enough to continue the trend for another week (or more). The questions range from rare rules questions, to beginner golfer swing issues, to the mental aspects of golf.
One question, asked by Robert Mpabanga, is […]

Did you know that Michelle Wie has already signed over $10 million in endorsement deals at the age of 16?
Ironically, as the NBA and its Players Union seek to crack down on the number of teenagers entering the league, the PGA and LPGA tours are embracing them. In the case of the NBA, the […]

Which CEO is the best golfer? That may sound like a strange and extremely broad question to you, but not to CEO Challenges. For the first time ever, they will be holding the CEO Golf Challenge.

The British Open announced that women can now tee it up against the men, under a few conditions. Only women who finished among the top five in the US LPGA majors are eligible.

The KSGA is “confident that such devices are capable of providing consistent and accurate distances for the players.”
These improvements provide two significant benefits; they allow every […]

Jennifer Mario, who writes for the TravelGolf.com blogs, recently revealed what annoys her most out on the golf course. Her list, in order, is as follows:
1. Rules know-it-alls
2. Finding red tee markers on the white tee box
3. Overly long holes
4. Sexism
5. Loud talkers
Now, this list is obviously from a woman’s perspective, but I can say […]

While I was watching HGTV tonight, specifically “I Want That“, I was surprised to see a golf product mentioned. Nick’s Net Works, a small company, has created a golf net that attaches to your garage door.
I have tried out numerous golf nets in the past and they always had the same undesirable characteristics: they were […]

I wrote a post last Thursday about Ryan Moore going for pro at the Disney Funai Classic. This became a reality over the weekend. He played well in each of the four rounds:

Round 1: 64
Round 2: 71
Round 3: 67
Round 4: 68

By finishing the last round 4-under with a 68, Moore tied Heath Slocum for thirteenth […]

You may have heard about the many groups of kids getting together to help the slew of hurricane victims. Recently, golfers gathered together for that same goal. Chuck Curtis of Pelham put together a golf tournament held at Campbell’s Scottish Highlands Colf Course in Salem which raised around $40,000 for US hurricane relief efforts.
