Cybergolf ran my Championship Sunday preview, Another Moveable Feast. We’ll have more pictures soon. In the meantime, enjoy the tournament no one wants to win.
My piece about Phil’s charge yesterday along the cliffs of doom is up at Cybergolf. It’s here, so enjoy it! From the article: “Still, the day and the stage belonged to Mickelson. Many of you never got to see Arnold Palmer, but Mickelson makes a great comparison: a swashbuckling mercurial golfer who made you both live and die on championship Sundays...
PEBBLE BEACH, CA – From personal experience, let me tell you that any windy, forested road called “17 Mile Drive” is no place to get lost, but that’s exactly what happened to the biggest names in golf, as the U.S. open leaderboard is left to forgotten major winners from 2003, a couple foreign players who have potential, and more strangers than...
Here’s my latest Cybergolf piece. Enjoy. From the article: “From personal experience, let me tell you that any windy, forested road called “17 Mile Drive” is no place to get lost, but that’s exactly what happened to the biggest names in golf, as the U.S. Open leaderboard is left to forgotten major winners from 2003, a couple foreign...
We’ll also have some portions of the piece up at PGA.com, but for today, here is my U.S. Open preview: Emerald, Sapphire, and Gold. The Tom Watson/Herbert Warren Wind articles from 1983 that I found in the basement were worth their weight in treasure. From the piece, Watson recalls his miracle chip-in at 17: “Watson had played the difficult par-3 well all...
It was 1978. Loud plaid and big hair were fashionable, disco music battled KISS on your radio dial, and a peanut farmer who couldn’t keep the loyalty of his own Cabinet was President of the United States. Politically, America was gripped by a crisis of confidence and uncertainty. Golf, however, was prospering. It was the age of Nicklaus, but unlike the flash in...
My preview of the Players Championship and the review of TPC Sawgrass are up at Cybergolf.com. Here’s the link. Here’s also a snippet for you: “It was the age of Nicklaus, but unlike the flash-in-the-pan rivals of Tiger Woods, Nicklaus had a pantheon of Hall of Famers to battle each week: Watson, Seve, Johnny Miller, Weiskopf, Crenshaw, Trevino, and...
Thank goodness I got to write about something other than Tiger.
Cybergolf ran my article on North Dakota public golf: Hawktree, Links of North Dakota, and Bully Pulpit. That’s Jim Engh, Stephen Kay, and Mike Hurdzan.
We’ve never been here before…maybe not in any sport since the Black Sox…Tiger’s scandal has golf entering the Twilight Zone. From the article: “But the shock of Tiger possibly being gravely hurt was coupled with even more puzzling news: it was a one-car crash which occurred at 2:15 in the morning, hours after Thanksgiving, as he was...
Thanks Jeff for taking the time to sit down and chat, and thanks to Jeff Shelley for getting it on-line so fast!

Thanks Minnesota, thanks Julie and family!
They have a rough record in this tournament…
Cybergolf ran my latest piece profiling Club Pro Kevin Roman of Atlanta, GA via Utica, NY. Kev beat the bloody snot out of me as a junior golfer. Oh well, that’s two pros that mopped the floor with me! (The LPGA’s Moira Dunn is the other, for those of you scoring at home.)
Welcome to the Honor Roll, Kevin!
