My 2023 Year in Golf - a short post:

2023 Year in Golf

“Golf is something you have a lifelong relationship with – and like any relationship, it’s always changing..." ...is a line I’ve thought about a lot in 2023. A friend said that to me as we hit a few...

Everyone involved in this thing will be better off when they realize fans don't care about athlete comp. Palmer wasn't beloved bc of his comp, people don't obsess over the Masters bc of the purse. And the fans are what make the team, the league, the tour, whatever. It's the fans.

Until you can shoot low scores at home, you won’t shoot them in tournaments. Sounds obvious but somehow players and parents don’t get this concept. And it’s true at every level. I’ve probably played a dozen rounds at home w Stewart Cink and never seen him shoot over 64.
