While some of us may never stray far above sea level, others find ourselves shifting back and forth between low and high altitude golf courses. And as anyone who has played golf in Colorado can tell you, the altitude makes a difference. For one thing, you’ll find that you’ll gain a lot of distance. Many …
You are getting sleepy, very sleepy. And not because this is a boring blog post, because you’re hypnotizing yourself to try to cure that stupid slice that plagues you on the course. Hypnosis is and always has been controversial – some people swear by it while others think it’s nothing more than smoke and mirrors. …
For some of us, summertime is a time of dry heat with very little rain. But in other parts of the country, such as Florida (a haven for golf lovers), summer is monsoon season. Recently, one golf club in Florida was so drenched that many of the sand traps became unplayable quasi-water hazards. If you …
In Caddyshack, a movie we recently quoted in another blog, Rodney Dangerfield’s character insults uptight Judge Smaels’s hat: “Wear that to the buffet and they’ll give you a free bowl of soup.” Though no one’s really sure exactly what that means, it’s funny anyway, and it rings true since so many golfers take it upon …

Recently, we’ve talked about new, unusual forms of golf that nonetheless use the main objective of golf (get a ball or projectile to a hole/target in as few shots as possible) to make for a fun game. There’s frisbee golf, as well as a newer soccer golf game – no word as to whether you’re …
We`re now smack in the middle of summer, and that means that keeping your cool on the golf course is essential. First of all, it will help you to score better, and it might even keep you from avoiding serious health risks. Start by drinking a lot of water before you leave to play. You …
A while ago, when I was first learning to play golf, I would play with a foursome in which one of the players had a notorious slice. As a result, he began playing with a highlighter-colored ball, which he claimed helped to be able to find the ball during his frequent trips into the woods …
Some people miss the good old days. And for golf legend Jack Nicklaus, those good old days ended when they stopped making golf balls out of goose feathers. In a recent article in Global Golf Post, Nicklaus is described as lashing out against modern golf balls. Why? Because they go to far, destroying the “pure” …
The United Kingdom, from our US-based standpoint, is the source of many fine things, namely our beloved game of golf as well as humor (or humour, if you will) so sophisticated you can`t even get the jokes without having a graduate degree. But the Brits aren’t above a bit of low brow fun that even …
