Sometimes, it seems like there’s nothing you can do to fix those horrible slices and improve your golf game. The worst part is when you feel like you’ve turned a corner and then go right back to slicing. It’s all too common: you hit the driving range and your drives are straight as an arrow. …
For me and some of my friends and relatives, funny golf videos are a passion. Sure there are the classics: Caddyshack, etc. But there’s one short movie from the 40s, tangentially related to golf, whose cheesiness never ceases to entertain. It’s called “A Case of Spring Fever”.

After a mishit from the fairway, I found myself face to face with the ultimate golfer’s nightmare: a monstrous seven-foot high wall of sand standing between me and the safety of the green.

Last month, the sports website Grantland published Dr. V’s Magical Putter, an article that quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons.
