Sometimes a girl gets so breathless by what’s going on outside that she overlooks what’s going on in her own backyard. So right now, we have dueling opinions from two of our TravelGolf All-Stars on this past weekend’s Skins Game. First, our newest addition Shanks writes about how nice it was to watch Tiger Woods and the gang let loose and have some fun, especially with Fred Funk looking to read putts in his best dress. On the other side of the coin is Ron Mon, who enjoyed some of the shenanigans, but wanted to see the golfers turn up the heat ...

So many golf bloggers having so much to say and I keep going on rants. I just feel wretched, so lets see what they’re saying. Taking some time off from covering the burgeoning golf scene in Canadian cities like Whitehorse, Robert Thompson gives his readers the lowdown on what awards he can win and how you can vote for him, as well as offering some cutting, outside-the-box criticism of our own Managing Editor Mark Nessmith’s recent column decrying the PGA Tour-Golf Digest partnership. “I personally think it will very much change the way Golf Digest offers cutting edge instructional articles on how ...

Today, I veer from the norm somewhat, with only apologies to all the other golf bloggers for leaving them out, as I hold them in the highest of esteem. Keep typing, colleagues! But today, one golf blogger will take center stage. The Reluctant Jam Boy penned a blog yesterday that was everything a blog should be. It was personal and thought-provoking.

A couple days ago, he had a very bad day, misreading putts and feeling ...

The Grouchy one lives up to his name with a little talk about Michael Bamberger’s new book This Golfing Life. Seems Grouchy feels Bamberger’s recent help in getting Michelle Wie disqualified falls in the same category as rapper Kanye West’s outburst against George Bush (West, ironically, had an album coming out that week). The relentlessly suave Brent Kelley is at it again, this time tempting golfers (and the ladies) with a barrage of equipment-related blogs, including a look at TaylorMade’s new irons. Finally, lets welcome Golfff to these pages. He wastes no time in getting to the good stuff, as he talks ...

The Golf Blogger relays the recent happenings of Casey Martin. It looks as though Martin’s competitive playing days are done, but TGB lets him know it was a job well done. “I think that Casey Martin has yet to find what he was supposed to do. I hope he finds it. His determination is an inspiration,” writes Golf Blogger. Because everyone likes a kinky update, Bogey McDuff tells us how things went at Willie Nelson’s golf campaign fund-raiser for eclectic Texas governor candidate Kinky Friedman. The Kinkster now has another $170,000 to use to fight the establishment. Cody Thrasher gives us a preview ...
