Trying To Establish Dominance #7
I have always been partial to the U.S. Open. I believe it to be the greatest golf tournament on the planet. I love when the USGA sets up gruelingly long courses with sinewy, Usain Bolt fast greens. You’ll never hear me complain about a guy winning the tournament with...
A Decade Later
It was a day later, in an empty golf cart barn where I cried. I’ll never forget that. After two days of being glued to the television watching images of towers falling in a city I’d never visited and hearing stories of loss about people I’d never met, I sat down in a...

Word to the wise: There's really no unimpressive way to win a major championship. Talk all you want about parity. Maybe it means there hasn't been any dominance lately in golf, but there sure have been a lot of flashes of greatness. Even some of golf's older guards...

No matter which of the last 13 major champions I put at the 9th spot, there’s going to be controversy. I’ve shuffled and reshuffled the group a few times. My top three are pretty much locked in, but there are a number of ways to get there. I bet you could give this...
Trying To Establish Dominance While Surrounded By Parity – #10
This is going to be knockdown 220-yard four-iron into a cross breeze hard. That’s the conclusion I’ve come to after a day or two of looking at the past 13 major championships and their 13 different winners. How do you rank them? Is there a measurement system? Is there...

Trying To Establish Dominance While Surrounded By Parity
There has been no dominant force in the game of golf over the past three plus years. The past 13 major championships have gone to 13 different human beings. There’s almost no point in trying to project who’s going to win when and where. It’s too darn hard. Anyone in...
