[Editor’s Note: As part of the celebrations for Jay’s 10th anniversary as a sports writer, Jeff Shelley conducted this interview with Jay. For the second part of the interview, we’ll also answer questions form the fans and readers.] 1. What made you want to become a golf writer? It was more dumb luck than anything. I never planned this or even...

Holy ancient artifacts, Batman! Look at this old school Byron Nelson press badge Melanie Hauser found! Wicked cool! (Or I guess “Neat-O!” might be more apropos.) Tom Watson won, for those of you scoring at home.

It’s only happened twice in my ten years as a golf writer: when the mail came to my law office, a golf book arrived and I dropped what I was doing to start reading it. The first time was Dan Jenkins’s Jenkins at the Majors. It was on my desk at 3:30 p.m. and by the time I looked up it was 11:00. This time it was John Hopkins’s Fore! – like...

WHICH GOLF COURSE IS WHICH GAME OF THRONES LOCALE? THE EYRIE, WESTEROS – May the Old Gods and the New protect us, winter is coming. Around here, that means little or no golf for two to three months – longer for my poor readers who live on I-90! What a life for them! – as much as six months of hitting off mats at golf domes, lots of nonsensical...
We lost two important men in golf last week. Frank Hannigan, former executive director of the U.S.G.A. passed away at age 82. We also both wrote for Golf Observer during the heady, halcyon days of a nascent golf scene on the Internet. Frank was grace and class all the way. The entire golf world is united in mourning him. We also lost George Bahto, the dry cleaner...
While it was a lean year for sports books (and golf books in particular), former Sports Illustrated editor Kevin Cook provided us with one for the ages, a true instant classic. His new book, “The Last Headbangers,” traces the NFL from the Immaculate Reception, Franco Harris’s miraculous, last-second, shoestring catch and touchdown romp against the...

Indeed perhaps all of the PGA TOUR’s integrity us at stake too. On the one hand we have Simon Dyson facing a three-person disciplinary panel for one offense last week. On the other we have Tiger Woods, the face of golf, not only involved in four eye-raising rules flaps, but facing no disciplinary investigation at all…just a quick chat with Timid Tim...
