Golf books: A reading list for those long, lazy summer days
 In a perfect world, we'd all spend every summer day on the golf course. Sadly, the world is far from perfect. Our time on the links is cruelly limited by odious events like thunderstorms, family trips to the beach and nightfall.

 Aberdovey Golf Club, one of the oldest courses in Wales, may lack the signature, "Kodak moment" holes of, say, Nefyn & District or Pennard. But Aberdovey's sum is greater than its individual holes, and it will hold a special place in your golfing heart, Brandon Tucker writes.

Louisiana's Carter Plantation: On the Blood River, where the past lingers with the present
About an hour from Bourbon Street, you'll find one of the best courses in the state nearly hidden in them deep, Louisiana woods, pardon the Cajun grammar. Carter Plantation was designed by native son David Toms and Glenn Hickey, who just started cutting and whacking without the inconvenience of a blueprint or anything so formally restrictive. The result is deserving of all the awards various golf magazines have bestowed upon it.

It doesn't take a great deal of imagination at Royal Links Golf Club to get a feel for the history of British Open golf. Each hole at this Las Vegas favorite was inspired by an Open host course, Mike Bailey writes. There are even two inspired by Royal Birkdale, host of this week's Open.
Rife has pulled off a notable feat with the TwoBar Hybrid: It's what I call a "kitchen sink" putter that actually looks very cool. Usually putters that include every feature but the kitchen sink look like some alien component that just fell off of a Transformer. The TwoBar Hybrid is cool, sleek even, despite offering practically every performance aid in the rule book from putter face to grip.
