I enjoyed the tournament, but Sunday was a little disappointing due to a lack of drama. I was impressed with Aberg's performance in his first ever major. Also, Scottie was spot on playing the back nine. I've been watching The Masters for over fifty years and have attended over twenty. Augusta...

I think global golf is inevitable. Time zones do cause a problem for the US TV networks. I actually enjoy watching events on the DP tour in the morning. One of my favorite things is getting up really early to watch The Open. As with almost everything today, money will rule.

I just bought two pairs of Fenlern golf shoes on Amazon. I'd never heard of them. They were really cheap and fit really well. I'm normally a Footjoy guy, but wanted something to wear when it's cold and wet during Winter. It seems most golf shoes are white these days. I'm old and prefer black or...

It's hard to tell where all this is headed. I assume LIV will stay as it has been (54 holes, shotgun starts and team scoring) this year. Also, do they have a TV contract? I've never watched an event so I'm in the dark on when and where they play. I watch most PGA Tour events, but I love the...

Same for me. I have bad knees and a torn right rotator cuff. That coupled with being old (74) has ruined my game. I've gone from an 8.3 index to 12.9 in just three years. I moved up tees from 6250 to 5800 and can still shoot in the 80s. However, when it's cold (below 60*F) I really struggle to...

Here in Charlotte across the pond we just got a notice that our dues are going up 6%. Clearly, I'm overpaying for the golf I play. However, I have senior dues and the club is less than a mile from my house. At age 74 I will probably ride it out until I cannot physically play anymore.

Here I go again. It seems like for every Ryder Cup I struggle with pulling for my home team here in the colonies. This started way back with Seve and has grown over the decades. My three favorite pro golfers right now are Hovland, Rahm and McIlroy. Sure, I like Spieth, Thomas and Schaufele but...

Whether you like him or not, he is a heck of a player. He seems to always be in contention week after week. Maybe he can be "over the top" sometimes expressing his frustration but golf is hard. We've seen a lot of top players over react from time to time. I actually find some of his reactions...

I was able to demo a G425 three wood last week and it didn't work for me. I'm going to stick with my TM M2 High Launch three which is 16.5*. It's really a four wood and even though it's several generations old it still works for my game.

I'm looking to buy a Ping G425 three wood. I want one with 16* of loft. My question is: do I get the SFT version which is 16* or do I get the MAX version at 14.5* and adjust it up a degree and a half to 16? I'm not a slicer and sometimes hook the ball so I'm thinking the MAX might work better...

My opinion is that most of the Liv players are playing for money. While the big names on the PGA Tour are playing for legacy. While Mickelson is in the HOF and Koepka, DJ and possibly Sergio will get in the Hall, the younger LIV players will have a harder time getting that honor. While three of...

I was disappointed that Rory didn't contend. I think it IS in his head now. I still think he'll eventually win a Masters. Really glad Rahm won and the Spanish connection is very interesting. I was a big fan of Seve and loved watching him play. He was a magician with his short game and could make...

I carry three wedges: PW is 44*, GW is 50* and SW is 56*.

I just bought a Ping G425 Driver. Dick's Sporting Goods here in the states dropped the price since the G430 was introduced. It's really working well for me. I had been playing the G400. After three rounds I've found the G425 straighter and a little longer. Before buying I demoed both the new...

I'm a big fan of the PGA Tour. I've enjoyed watching the best players in the world compete against each other. Then along comes LIV Golf. I was really disappointed to see many top players, both past and present; leave to join LIV. I guess I am glad that the top LIV players will be competing in...
