So Tiger Woods is back in the winner’s circle following his successful knee surgery. What does this mean as far as golf history? I’ll tell you, it means that noted golf blogger William K. Wolfrum (that would be me) was right. Again. From Feb. 4, in response to this comment from loyal reader Alex: I’d be willing to bet that Tiger will end up in the winner’s circle a couple times this year and close the campaign with a major. Should be interesting. Seriously, it’s just exhausting being correct as often as I am. Have no fears, though. I nap quite a bit, ...

Like many of you golfers out of there, I’ve never had a hole in one. A couple close calls, but still no aces for your ol’ pal Bill. And while I never let that bother me, after reading a story out of Florida, I now feel like a complete an utter failure: If you are a golfer who has played for any length of time, this story may make you want to quit the game.

We’re all aware that Myrtle Beach is the greatest golf destination in the history of the planet. Now that we’ve established that as an unassailable fact, we can move on. Because somehow, golf in Myrtle Beach has recently gotten even better. Because the Grand Strand now has fewer hyenas.

For those like myself that have long ago given up on such luxuries as thinking, there is Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.” To say “Celebrity Apprentice” is mindless fun is like saying sleep can be restful. And this season, for golfers that hate the idea of dwelling in thought deeper than a cleat mark, there’s an added bonus - LPGA star Natalie Gulbis is among the contestants. And Gulbis is joined by a plethora of slightly big names. Dennis Rodman, Joan Rivers, Brande Roderick, Herschel Walker, Jesse James, and Scott Hamilton are just a few of the other celebrities working for charity and ...

The long national nightmare is now over for sportswriters. No longer will sports journalists need to toil through muck to come up with interesting golf stories. Tiger Woods is golfing again. And all is right with the world. Tiger’s return is exciting for several reasons. For one, there is his epic pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ 19 total major victories. Then there’s his blossoming personal life, as his beautiful family is now a foursome with the birth of Charlie Axel.
