“It just keeps getting better and better,” says every member, every day. MARCY, NY – Autumn comes early along I-90. Even by Labor Day the tops of the trees already lighten from verdant green to a gilded, burnished gold. By the equinox, it was sweater and jackets weather as the cool evening air and chilly rains began to set in, yet still grateful...
Not the best way to start Ryder Cup week or to celebrate my birthday, but my mentor, one of my advisors, and the man for whom I was a star pupil, Professor Jack Chatfield of Trinity College, passed away from cancer yesterday. For four decades he was, metaphorically, the entire American History faculty at the school and was unquestionably the whole Colonial America...
It’s time for Jay’s Birthday celebrations once again, and this year’s festivities will be as much fun for you as for me. We’ll have golf and music – what else?

Go! Fight Win!] Dear Classmates: Greetings from the bucolic splendor of Pinehurst, North Carolina – where even the convenience...
Meet Will Carpenter, (no relation to Nancy!). Will and his friends show why golf fans are the most creative in the world. See the logo on his shirt? That’s a turtle back green (Ross’s specialty). It’s all the rage at Pinehurst this week. Moreover, as the broadcast continues, listen for the fans yelling, “Donald!!” Any time a balls rolls...

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...
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...

And while the shepherds lay in their field an angel of The Lord appeared to them and they were afraid. But he said “fear not for I bring you glad tidings of great joy. For today in the city of David a savior is born and he will save you from all your sins.” Then, suddenly the sky was filled with a great light and host of heavenly angels appeared and sang...
