My Movement Toward Golf Fitness
I'd never heard it pitched that way before: "I want to see how you move." How I move boxes? On the dance floor? "No, how you move. It will help you become a better, fitter golfer." Her name is Marie Achkar and she is a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certified...
Stolen Holes: A Series
Par 3 includes two rounds at Byrncliff, down and out (but not down and out) in Varysburg, east of Wales Center on 20A. The first round was the one where you say "All right! Got this game figured out..." while the second was "Is this Hurling?" Byrncliff is nearly a...
RecycleView-Interview With Tom Doak
This interview with Tom Doak, once the enfant terrible of golf course architecture in the eyes of some, now an elder statesman, ran in April of 2010. The new golf course building industry in the USA has taken a major hit, virtually at a standstill. Architects find...
Things I Know I Think…
*I know that this game is challenging. It's even more challenging when you don't have time to practice. Since the high school season ended, I've been out each weekend for 18 holes and have found success and failure in different ways and in different aspects of my game...
“What the heck was that?”
That was the response of my friend as he and I watched my first tee shot of the year clip a tree branch and bounce into the fairway of the hole running parallel to the hole I was playing. I pulled the brim of my hat a little lower and watched the ball bounce and...
Kicking The Young Out Of The Nest-The Travis Society Site Move On
To the best of my recollection (no documentation was found in the archives), we met at Don Pablo's (no longer there) on Niagara Falls Boulevard in 1999 or 2000. The internet was a wilderness and BuffaloGolfer was a fledgling .0rg called BuffGolf. Three folks from...
A Fool For a Caddy
It's entirely possible that Steve Williams never knew of Tiger Woods' philandering ways earlier in his career. It's plausible that Williams got more than a raw deal from Woods. Maybe Tiger did Steve the courtesy of sitting down and telling him it was over... maybe he...
The Weekender: Post Halloween Blues
I've always liked week-long celebrations, despite never making it to Mardi Gras or Carnaval. It seems a gyp that Halloween is a one-nighter. I don't worship evil, mind you, but I love lighting the pumpkins up at watching them glow each evening. Don't want to go broke...
Stolen Holes: A Series
Part Two: Dirty Golf Unbelievably, I snuck out for more golf on Thursday, again while the monkeys were off dancing. After, I went across the street to have my Two-Ball extended into a belly putter, but that's another tale (yet unwritten) for another time. You know the...
