Everyone talks about great resort golf around the US and beyond. Quite frankly - it doesn't get much better than Barefoot Resort in Myrtle Beach. 4 courses designed by Dye, Fazio, Norman, and Love. Great facilities and a wonderful staff. Driving range is huge.

Pet Peeve - Every course (especially resorts) should have these on their carts. (That's every course in Myrtle Beach) Not always dead on - but close enough as a double check plus hole design. Also gives the pro shop the ability to see where everyone is and who might be slow

The worst feeling in golf is not the shanks, it's the yips. I had them BAD. Ended my tournament playing days in my mid 40's. I had no chance of making short putts, I'd double hit them, miss 2 feet right or left, and then one day in a tournament, I had a 2 footer and I couldn't

What do you think the ratings of the Master's will be if Phil or Tiger are at or close to the lead saturday or sunday. I know I'm glued to the TV if that happens. I would expect record numbers. Last year I was on the edge of my seat as Phil climbed the leaderboard on Sunday.

River Oaks - Myrtle Beach. One of the worst conditioned courses down here..... BUT NO MORE! Talked to the super and he had a 5 year plan, it's working. Fairways were very good, greens slow but smooth, greens held pretty well. The layout is interesting but won't bowl you over.

What golfers today don’t understand is that Arnold Palmer brought golf to the masses. Before then it was a country club game. Palmer was us and everything we golfers wanted to be. Long live the king and thank you for your career. I was in arnies army

Grande Dunes Resort course may be the best public facility in Myrtle Beach. While GD is an excellent track - the facility is far more than that. First rate clubhouse, a restaurant with a menu worthy of a private club. And the practice facilities are worthy of holding a PGAT

I keep seeing references to scratch players and distance off the tee. Do you have to play the tips to be considered a scratch golfer - if so why? I'm early 70's hit it 215 off the tee and play the senior tees at most courses to a 0 to 2 most of the time. Am I a scratch player? I

Let's talk about superstitions on the golf course. Here's my three. I tee my ball the same way every time with the logo facing the target, I change balls if I've made two bogeys or a double, if someone putts before me and leaves their ball in the hole I won't putt until it's

When I asked can a golfer be a scratch without playing the tips. It wasn't about my game - it was a legitimate question of what makes a scratch golfer. Here's my opinion. I don't consider myself a "scratch" player because I'm playing the senior tees. If I moved back a tee box and

Could you play 7 days a week - every week? I have a friend whose nickname is "every day". He truly plays every day with an occasional miss here and there. He's mid 40's and a very good player. I'm good with 4 or 5 a week, probably average 3. Need time at home to help with my

The Pearl in Calabash NC. Good tough course, fairly tight with several truly great Par 5's. Formerly 36 holes now 27, I recommend the North and West 9s - East has some great holes - but the routing is choppy. Greens rolled at 9.5 smooth and difficult to read putts. Fairways are

Golf would not be where it is now without Arnie. He isn't the GOAT - but he was the one that grew the game beyond a group of elitists. No knock on Tiger - definitely the better career - and did drive the game forward - but unless you were there to witness Arnie's Army in

Played Sunridge Canyon in Scottsdale today. Really interesting layout. Fairways generous on most holes, but if you miss them, you're dead. I enjoyed the layout - until I hit a couple of shots off the tee I really liked, and they ended up dead! Greens were IMPOSSIBLE to read.

Phoenix CC - 1898 what a fabulous layout. Let's get the bad out of the way.... I'm thinking... OK worst I can come up with is that the range is well away from the clubhouse and not long enough for drivers for anyone with some length. Now that we've gotten that out of the way.

How good are you at golf. Assuming 20 million golfers I expect I’m around the 3 millionth in the country. I can break par on easier courses but the long tough ones will be normally 75 to 80 except for a rare day like at moon valley in phoenix when I bettered my age. For 73 and up

Do you ever practice this shot? Standing in the bunker with the ball way above your feet. You swing more on a baseball plane and the more loft on the club the more the ball will go left for right handers.

Tough for golfers to not decelerate on the down swing and that causes fat or bladed shots. It's about controlling the swing. Most aren't good at that - and they don't practice it.

Crown Park. Best condition I've seen it in the last 7 years. However, if you're expecting similar conditions to Surf Club or TPC, you will be sorely disappointed. CP is a low end, less expensive round of golf. The course serves a purpose - golf for less money. Greens were covered
