So you think that Golf is easy?
O.K., So I toss a little white ball on the ground and puck it with a fat-headed metal stick till it falls in a hole…..how hard can that be?
The Journey Begins:
A friend of mine contends that every round of Golf is different even if played [...]

- Pop And Drop Or Chop And Roll?
One of my favorite parts of the game of Golf is the short shot around the green. These can make or break your scoring and need just as much practice as your drives, long irons and putts. Let’s imagine the scenario that you have had a sweet drive which whistle-sailed from the tee and landed [...]

- The Curse Of Divots And Plugs.
I decided to go for a round at the public links course today and came back in a demonic mood and minus a few tufts of hair. (Not that I can afford to lose anymore) The weather was glorious and I was playing above average but the fairways and greens resembled fox-holed battlefields. Recently, we’ve [...]

- Zen and the art of making a long putt
I’m sure you must have seen at least one Samurai movie in your lifetime.

- The Multi-Purpose 5 Iron
I firmly believe that there should be a 5 iron tournament !
One club, one ball, one golfer and his wits.
No bulky bags to manage, prancing nymph-like freely along the fairways and whistling

Dixie whistling and Brady Bunch smile excluded, usually.)
When [...]
