      Sep 16, 2020

      Course set-up has long been a topic of hot conversation on professional Tours all over the world. But it is important for every golfer. No matter how well or badly you perform, having fun and finding the game more interesting is a lot easier to achie

      I’m now in my late 70s, but in the 1970s and ‘80s I was fortunate to be invited by various airlines to play with celebrities and pro golfers and had games with Greg Norman, Mark James and others. On one occasion I was playing with Nick Faldo at Moor

      In My Opinion

      Mar 16, 2022

      How good is the Vic Open? So good that, when anyone asks that question, it is taken for granted that the response is going to be, “really good.” Okay, this year’s event was on a smaller scale than it had been before the global pandemic changed everyt

      Back in mid-October I spent some time watching two events on television. It was quite a contrast. The Andalucian Masters at Valderrama was won by Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick with a six-under-par score. And across the Atlantic, Rory McIlroy won the CJ

      “If We Are Going To Have A World Tour, What Should It Look Like?”

      Mar 18, 2020

      It comes up a lot. Or at least now and then. Talk of a “world Tour” that is. And the latest incarnation is the Premier Golf League that surfaced – at least publicly – only recently. All of which got me thinking. If we are going to have a world Tour,
