Rochester Golf Show Redux

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Mo'Golf

A week has passed since I spent an enjoyable afternoon at the Rochester Golf Show. The Dome Arena in Henrietta once again served as venue for the exposition of all things golf in and around the Flower City. As I sit cleaning the house on this Dia de Los Presidentes, so many thoughts have come tumbling back from the show that I decided to organize and leave them with you. Continue reading →

Pro Golf’s Cretinous DQ Rule Gives Whiteford Knock-Out Punch

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Mo'Golf

Perhaps it’s the first time you’ve seen the word “cretinous” in a golf headline. Perhaps I’m simply fed up with this senseless rule, yet somehow had the foresight to edit the adjective I truly wished to use. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: golfer attempts to correct error he believes he made but is rebuffed; television-watching wonkers call in to protest; tournament officials determine a penalty was appropriate before next round begins, but disqualify competitor anyway.

he said, HE SAID – Match Play vs. Stroke Play

Posted on February 19, 2012 by mouth

In honor of the playing of the WGC Match Play championship, this week’s head-to-head, toe-to-toe, mano-a-mano pits The Mouth’s support of stroke, or medal, play golf versus Mo’ Golf’s affinity for match play. While The Mouth demonstrates his usual, cool aplomb, Mo’ moves a little closer to the breaking point with his defense of the traditional form of competition. Continue reading →

Manly Stanley~How Kyle Stanley’s Bounceback Differs

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Mo'Golf

Kyle Stanley gave away a golf tournament one week, then screamed back a week later to win another. So much was written about his implosion and later, on his vindication, that my head spun again and again. I knew the headline (see above) would write itself, but the content escaped me until recently. Here’s my perspective on why Kyle Stanley’s bounceback victory differs from other, similar situations.

What do I see?

Posted on February 17, 2012 by mouth

During 75-minute car rides to and from Rochester last weekend for the annual Golf Show, Mo Golf informed me that he’d posted an article I’d penned in fun and innocence about how the first few golf holes at a course should set up on a different network and it had caused a bit of negative reaction and discussion.

I’ll admit what the article proved, I don’t know jack about designing golf courses. I learned that in full during three full days with Mo Golf and Scrambler in Long Island last summer. They see features of golf holes I don’t notice. They can also tell you how said features impact the way players have to approach shots. In the world of golf course architecture, they are Einsteins and I am…well, not.

Scrambled Thoughts – Pebble Beach Wrap-Up

Posted on February 13, 2012 by scrambler

Several random musings from the Scrambler from the weekend:

Mickelson and Woods – One Picture Says It All

It’s been almost 17 months since the last Phil/Tiger Pairing, but Sunday at Pebble Beach sent TV Ratings skyward.  And viewers saw two men at vastly different points in their lives.

Think about the status of Tiger’s relationship with Steve Williams, and then consider the image of Phil with Bones Mackay.  The bro-hug photo that swept the internet perfectly juxtaposes the status of their careers right now. Continue reading →
