The Not So Distant Future28 August 2009, 4:05 pm
Movies like “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “Starship Troopers” and “Back to the Future II” prove that predicting the future, though entertaining (yes, I liked Starship Troopers), is almost always dead wrong. That being said, I’m going to try my hand at it and see if I can predict some shifting trends in a game that is in desperate need of a facelift. Golf is played by 57 million people worldwide, 51 million of which will never break 100 and 91% of whom will never belong to country club. ... -

The par five 12th is the longest in women's history at 602 yards. Throw in the church pew bunkers and bathtub greens and par begins to look like a winning score. The 2010 US Women's Open comes to venerable Oakmont Country Club, Pittsburgh, PA. For history buffs Exhibit A is Julie Inskster, who at 50 years young is returning t...

My Search for an Awesome Sunday Golf Bag27 July 2010, 7:03 am
So that's what I'm looking for. They used to call them "Sunday bags", but now I hear people referring to them as "range bags". I want something like the one in the illustration at left. These over-the-shoulder appear to have been popular at the Home of Golf in bygone years, as illustrated in the charming vintage poster at left. I'm looking for something light... something that accommodates... -
Au Revoir Evian, a l'Année Prochaine.... Bisous!26 July 2010, 6:53 am
I'm always sad to see the Evian Masters end. Falling as it does in late July, I tend associate the end of the tournament with the beginning of the end of summer. I know we still have a month or more left but the days are already getting shorter and subliminally I've already renounced some of the more ambitious summer adventures I fantasized about in late Spring. The garden party I talked about... -
Jiyai Shin - The Final Round Queen Wins Evian Masters25 July 2010, 5:55 pm
Just a few weeks after an emergency appendectomy, Jiyai Shin is once again living up to her nickname. She grabbed her seventh LPGA victory at the Evian Masters today with a nine-foot putt on the last hole, finishing one shot ahead of Morgan Pressel, Choi Na Yeon and Alexis Thompson.The win will likely place the the spirited South Korean back on top again in the rapidly changing Rolex Rankings.Oh.... -
Growing Golf: Of Shorter Layouts & Obvious Solutions24 July 2010, 3:23 pm
It seems like a classic no-brainer. The fact is, recreational golf is struggling. A spate of recent reports lament course closings, fewer rounds being played and Golf businesses battling with the bottom line and a shrinking customer base. There are numerous reasons given for the decline, but most will agree that at least one of three major factors: cost, time and difficulty can be found somewhere...

One man’s accessory, is another man’s sports equipment. Given this, I don’t claim that what I like you will. But I wanted to share what [...]...

Best Putting Tip I ever got from a Magazine21 July 2010, 3:36 am
My putting has been up and down this year and a couple of times it has prevented me from going low during a round when all other parts of my game were firing on all cylinders. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is more frustrating than missing short putts for par or (gasp) birdie. Last week, in [...]... -

Ok, Ok, I’m not technically going fishing, per se, but I’m going to be on vacation for the next three weeks so you may or may not see any new posts showing up before I get back. It all depends on whether I have any rainy days or other down time which would allow me to crank out some stuff while I’m gone. This vacation is certainly well-timed.

Wasting Practice Time7 July 2010, 8:29 pm
Sometimes I just need to air a minor rant. Wasting practice time is one of those things that boggles my mind. I’ve done posts in the past about making the most of practice time. There’s lots of information here and across the web and in books and TV programs about practicing effectively. Dave Pelz likes to say, “practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes permanent.” I agree but I’m not even talking about those ways that we can make practice time provide [..... -
Caddyshack 30th Anniversary Contest Winners29 June 2010, 1:17 am
In case you missed it, this is the announcement for the Caddyshack 30th Anniversary Blu-ray release contest. And just in case, if you’ve never seen the movie, I should mention that there are spoilers in this post (if it’s even possible to spoil a movie like this). I wasn’t sure it would happen, but all three of my favorite quotes were identified. And, they were identified by three different people. That means that we have three automatic winners and the remaining two [...]© 20... -

It’s hard to even believe it’s possible, but if you know anyone who fits the bill, it’s time to get them a copy, stat. For the rest of us, this movie is nothing short of classic.

A Visit to the 2010 Shoprite LPGA Classic20 June 2010, 5:00 pm
Over the years, I’ve been a spectator at a number of PGA Tour events. Despite the fact that I consider myself a big fan of golf, I’ve never attended an LPGA Tour event and I’m not nearly as familiar with the players as I am with the guys on the PGA Tour. There are few benefits to living in New Jersey (don’t get me started), but one of them is that I’m only about an hour away from Galloway, NJ, home [...]© 2007-2010 Life in the Rough.

Fitness Review: G2 Golf Stretch Fitness Program7 June 2010, 3:09 am

We’ve all heard many times how much benefit golfers can receive from a good fitness program, especially one which focuses on ... -
Addressing Problems, Not Symptoms2 June 2010, 4:28 am
This is something that I think we often take for granted with our golf swings. Think about how on one hand, the golf swing seems so simple. Just pick up a club and hit a ball with it. Easy. It truly is that simple. On the other hand, if you want to optimize the power and control of that swing so that you can maximize your distance and fly the ball at the desired height, at the desired spin rate, and with [...]© 2007-2010 Life in the Rough.
