One common trait I see among a lot of average weekend golfers is unrealistic expectations of their game.  They often have full-time jobs and families to take care of, yet they want to play like the pros.  Many of them could if they were willing to make the sacrifice, but I would never be the […]

The late author, A.A. Milne, in his book, Not That It Matters, wrote:
“Oh there are other reasons why golf is the best game in the world for the bad player, and sometimes I am tempted to go farther and say that it is a better game for the bad player than the good.  The joy […]

In the 1940s, Glenda Colette was known as one of the greatest players of her day.  She had a beautiful, effortless swing, almost perfect in its execution.  She was longer off the tee than most women professionals, and could finesse the ball better than anyone.  She won numerous tournaments in her career on the professional […]
