There have been many wonderful putters in the history of golf, and they all proved the game was made much easier when the ball goes in the hole with a few strokes with the flat stick. But being a wonderful putter doesn’t necessarily make that player a clutch putter. Those particular golfers make up a select group, and the following list is my idea of the 10 best clutch putters in golf. Begin...

There are many golfers who play the professional circuits every year. They range from superstars to anxious wannabes. It doesn’t take golf fans long to latch onto their favorites and to quickly designate those who they can’t or won’t watch. Reasons? How they dress. How they putt. How they play. How they behave. Here’s a list of the most unwatchable in my mind. Begin Slideshow Read More →

There was a great deal of sentiment over the last decade or so that wanted The Players Championship to be designated as golf’s fifth major. You may have noticed that all of that rhetoric has died down because it came as quite a shock to those pushing for such a designation that golf tournaments are not arbitrarily anointed as majors. Such a title is earned as years go by, great competition is...

There has been plenty of discussion since the United States Golf Association and Royal & Ancient, in the persons of Mike Davis and Peter Dawson, announced a proposed new rule on Nov. 28 that would end anchored putting beginning in 2016.

It had been 18 years since an American woman had played well enough to earn Player of the Year honors on the LPGA Tour. Eighteen is an ironic number in this discussion, since that was the age Stacy Lewis took off the back brace she had been wearing since age 11. Her story has been well-chronicled and she has become the new First Lady of American Golf. Here’s a list of 10 things you might not...

End of the year lookbacks are always fun, remembering the great things that happened as well as those things that came up just a little short of great. Looking back at the 2012 PGA Tour season, how much better could it get than Bubba Watson hooking a wedge out of the trees to a Masters green jacket? Or how about the Next Great One proving to be the Great One of today, like Rory McIlroy did? By all...

Tom Watson is one of the great gentlemen in the history of golf. He played the game hard and very well, winning eight major championships and has become a great ambassador for the game much like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. His selection this morning as captain of the 2014 United States Ryder Cup team has raised eyebrows and ruffled feathers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. With...

Let’s assume we’re all in agreement that Tiger Woods is never going to be what he was in 2000. Hopefully, we do agree because that’s never going to happen. But if you haven’t noticed, Tiger 2.0 is pretty darn good. He hasn’t won a major in over four years, leaving him stuck on 14 majors (five short of the 19 he’d like to win to surpass Jack Nicklaus and his total...

This is a list professional golfers hope they never make. Letting championships get away on the last day, the last hole is just unacceptable to those who play for pay. There can be all kinds of reasons, all kinds of excuses. But in the end, all that matters is a meltdown has occurred and a tournament has been lost and a player’s name will be remembered for choking, imploding, whatever unflattering...

Some of them may seem silly, but they all have a special meaning in the game. Here’s a list of what I believe to be 25 very cool traditions in the game of golf. Begin Slideshow Read More →
