Speaking of the 'cart girls ...'  Our course has the college-aged young ladies we always catch up with.  Great kids.  And whenever one of the guys makes a sideways comment about one of the girls, the standard answer is,...

On vacation last November my rental set was all Callaway X-Hot clubs.  Irons and hybrids hit very well.  Smooth at strike, very high flying and more straight than I hit my TaylorMade hybrids.  The hybrids had a real...

Dangerous, but I taught my wife, a total beginner, the basics a few years back.  I took the 'hole-to-tee' approach with her.  Winter was spent in basement watching NBA and college basketball games with a putter, plastic cup...
