In advance of GOLF's new World Top 100, which will post Nov. 19, we've been discussing factors that do (don't) affect the rankings. How much does conditioning matter?

No better way to whet your appetite for this week's Walker Cup than this in-depth look at Cypress Point.

When he was a kid, Jackson Herrington rebounded from a serious eye injury. Now 19, he'll need a bounce back in the finals of the U.S Amateur. He's 4-down to Mason Howell through 11 holes of their 36-hole match.

Turned off John Daly Blvd in SF today and found John Daly II (no relation) warming up for US Am. Backswing way shorter than his dad's-- and on this swing, so was his follow through.

A cool sidelight to the U.S. Women's Amateur is seeing Bandon Dunes in a different light. Even if you've played it often, bet you've never dealt with this setup on the par-3 12th - shortened to 98 yards, with the flag just paces beyond a steep ridge.

If you're looking for a rooting interest in the U.S. Women's Amateur, you could do worse than Pimchompoo Chaisilprungruang, a delightful 19-year-old from Thailand. Not to worry. Her nickname is easy to pronounce.

These ain't gopher prints. At David McLay Kidd's golf course-in-the-making at Streamsong, signs of a creature Carl Spackler never had to deal with.

Old Petty, the second 18-holer at Cabot Highlands in Scotland, is rounding into shape. Tom Doak's design opens for two months of preview play on August 1. Full-blown opening next year.

In advance of today's final round of the 2025 U.S. Adaptive Open, a walk down the range shows a variety of swings, all better than mine.

At the US Adaptive Open at Woodmont CC in Maryland. A quick scan of the practice green is a reminder: there are many ways to get it in the hole.

The start of Masters week seemed like a good time to revisit the story of the unlikely rise--and tragic fall--of the amateur golfer Jeff Thomas, who competed at Augusta in '94 and died 10 years later in a tumbledown motel near the club where he caddied.

Jeff Thomas, a tough but troubled amateur from New Jersey, played in the 1994 Masters. A decade later, he died under tragic circumstances.

Played with the great Boo Weekley this past week at the Punta Mita Invitational, and though I didn't get a swing tip, I learned something more important: how to imitate a baby alligator. #puntamita #puntamitainvitational
