While signing up for a pair of NY state golf association qualifiers, I stumbled onto a link to the Buffalo Women's Golf Club. Not having any experience with this organization, I contacted Paulette Wright, current club president, for a few answers to questions about...
Operation Don’t Suck – The First Round of 2011
Those of you who visit our site regularly know I've been taking lessons since early March in hopes of playing better golf. Yesterday morning at Ironwood Golf Course I played my first 18 holes of 2011. The result: I'm improving and only sucked for about 2.5 holes. If...
The Masters post mortem
Random post Masters thoughts: While watching Charl Schwartzel's crazy run to the green jacket, I couldn't help but wonder if his parents misspelled Carl or Charles when filling out his birth certificate. If Schwartzel had finished at -10 would the playoff format been...
The Greatest Masters Ever?
Read me out. Charl Schwartzel birdied the final four holes to win the Masters by two strokes. That had never been done before...by anyone. Jason Day birdied the last two holes to finish tied for the green button with Adam Scott, who birdied 11, 14 and 16 to take what...
Tiger Makes It More Fun.
Love him, hate him, want to chase him with a four iron...Tiger Woods is a welcome sight up near the top of The Masters leaderboard. When the time comes, golf will be just fine without Tiger (see McIlroy, Day, Mahan, Fowler, Johnson, Watson....) but since he's only in...
The Masters Hype
Disclaimer: I have never seen Augusta National Golf Course in person. Yes, I love watching The Masters on TV every year. It has a large number of things in its favor: it is usually a tightly contested tournament, the course always looks like something out of a...

-I hang out online with a bunch of guys who abhor all the perfection of Augusta. They prefer fast and firm, natural browns, etc. The unfortunate thing is, Augusta has that during its down time, which is never during Masters week. Last year, I played a course called...
Quick Hits After Day 1 At Augusta
A few quick thoughts after day one at The Masters and just before day two gets underway ~ Rory McIlroy is boy genius kind of good when it comes to golf. It's going to be hard for him to hold the lead all the way through and win, but he's going to win a lot of major...
Day One @ The Masters of 2011
Things I know for certain: -17 and 18 are difficult, just ask all the dudes who bogeyed them... -This is one heck of a group of amateurs...they are a combined +5 at the moment... -Ricky Barnes has got some genetic distortion called Andy North disease, that allows him...
