What kind of a golf blog would this be if I did not mention the Phil vs Tiger match tomorrow? It is a pay for view event that does not garner my interest. I am not sure if how the fans are responding either. To be fair, it is too early to tell what kind of response the match will generate, but I am sure we will hear about it over the next week or so. Until then, we can speculate on its overall marketing success, but I am a bit more interested in the head to head battle. Continue reading

Even a Tortoise Wins A Race
We all know the story of the Tortoise and the Hare! If not, it is one of Aesop’s Fables and you can read about it here. I think about this story often when I peruse the golf news and see the hundreds (maybe millions) of guarantee fixes that will lower my golf score.

Do You Have a Golf List of Wants and Needs?
Is it too early to be thinking about Christmas? Well, it is actually, but in this case it is more about being prepared. If you are like most golfers, we are very particular about the “golf stuff” we receive. There is plenty of options, but each player has unique needs and requirements.
