The PGA Tour broadcast was always on in my dad’s study on Sundays. He’d get a fire going, sit in his leather chair, and I’d climb into his lap and watch for hours. I was fascinated. My parents bought me a set of plastic clubs, and every time my dad went to Glen Arven Country Read more…
Look closely at the 2026 Masters and you’ll notice pros call on a common shot around the greens. When I try to describe it, I keep thinking of the word “fizzy.” The ball launches low but with lots of spin. It fizzes off the face. When it comes back to earth the spin tries to grab Read more…

What they won’t tell you—because most don’t know—is what the club does on an off-center strike. Depending on where the ball makes contact, it can be a dramatically different number. But that’s quietly Read more…
Mike Lavezzo loves to tell the story (and rightly so) of his first ace. The teacher at Tamalpais High School in Northern California and his friends had a deal: If any of us makes a hole-in-one, we’re all going to Las Vegas.

Anticipation for the year’s first men’s major has been bubbling since … well, at least since Scottie Scheffler claimed the claret jug with his Open Championship win at Royal Portrush. You could argue, however, that people started getting excited after Read more…
