What a great win for the Fitzpatrick brothers. This solidifies Matt's #3 in the world ranking and gets Alex on the tour for two years. The back nine was stressful with Alex bailing out his big brother several times. Big brother returned the favor with an amazing bunker shot to set up Alex to...

Hah! That would be funny. Anyway, there are only a handful of players I want to see return to the PGA Tour and BDC is NOT one of them.

I've had 6. Five (counting my hole-in-one) have been at my home course and one at a public course here in Charlotte. Unfortunately, my last one was many years ago. The bright spot is I was playing with my son.

I get it. I too worry that day is coming soon. Age is undefeated, untied and unscored upon. However, please consider staying on the site. Us old guys have a very different perspective on golf that the younger players. I want to keep golf as we know it alive. We cannot let it become a beer bust...

I see several top players including Rory are not playing at Doral. Frankly, I'm glad. I wish more players would choose to not play. Due to the sites regulations, I won't explain why I feel this way.

It's been a couple of months and I'm still learning about the Spider. I'm putting well but just not making as many as I used to make. I've still got my 20 year old Odyssey and may go back unless I start making more putts. Our greens have been a little slower than usual due to the weather swings...

I just bought a Taylormade 2017 M2 five wood on a preowned site. Granted it's almost a decade old but I've had the M2 HL three wood in my bag since it came out. I've tried many different fairways (TM, Callaway, Ping) but cannot find one that performs better for me. I think it's probaly the...

I was happy to see Fitzpatrick prevail. As I've said before on this site, I'm kind of an expatriot when it comes to professional golf. I just like most of the international players better that our US guys. Also, I'm not a fan of the patrons shouting "USA,USA" at tournaments. I guess the way...

Also, I read an article by some guy who thinks there should be a rule change to prevent players from playing shots from adjacent fairways after errant shots. Obviously, this guy doesn't play much golf. As long as a shot is not OB the player can play from anywhere on the course. My guess is the...

As usual It was a wonderful tournament. I've actually been to the tournament dozens of times as I have always lived close to Augusta. Unfortunately, I have never played there. I've known a couple of members but not well enough to get the invite. Going to a practice round used to be easy back in...

THE SPY and THE TRAITOR from Ben Macintyre. Just started it and it's a great look at the Cold War.

We like The Night Agent too. (Spoiler alert) We miss Rose, but season three is really good.

I was pulling for Rory, but you have to give Bridgeman credit. I didn't realize he is from my birth state of South Carolina. I was so impressed with his putting on Saturday. It's so hard to win on the PGA Tour. While his Sunday round wasn't great, he did just enough to get his first win. It will...

I had a putter fitting at our local Edwin Watts and bought a TM Spider Tour X #1. With three rounds under my belt I'm very pleased. I've had 34, 33 and 33 putts in those rounds with only one three putt. Today I made a fifty footer for birdie. I know there's a lot of luck involved when that...

I cannot leave my family. However, I'm not sure you would like it over here right now. Have you ever been here? Charlotte NC is a pretty good place but the Gestapo was here a month ago and things didn't go well. We did fare slightly better than Minneapolis.
