One of the best golf books I've read is "Paper Tiger" by Tom Coyne. The premise was exactly the question posed in this thread. He was a low single digit golfer, had played competitively when he was younger, and at 30 he decided...

I started out the episode yelling at the TV -- how are we supposed to watch this show if these guys can't hit a short iron into a fairway? The opening challenge was awful. But it turned into one of the better ones in my mind. It...

I might have misread your post. Not sure exactly what I was disagreeing with HAHA I was basically saying that Tiger brings it upon himself sometimes. When he's great, he's so locked in that they could be doing the wave and blasting...

This is turning into the sort of showdown we've wanted to see for years. Too bad it's happening while 90 pct of American golf fans are asleep. Nice treat for me, though, since I work late and normally watch golf reruns at this hour. It's...

I know it's such an impossible argument, but I wonder how much better I'd put with a $250 putter, vs. my $100 putter bought for $35 on ebay? Yes, when putting in the store it feels at least 2.5 times better. But will it actually...
