But there is another piece of water of great importance here, the Erie Canal. If you have a passion for both history and golf you might find a ...
Special, gift-bearing holidays can come in July, I swear. One with great anticipation came a few weeks back, before my great Virginia golf junket, when a putter from Sweetwood Luxury Golf arrived on my doorstep. Sweetwood makes three series of putters with wooden elements; with their emphasis on fee...
We recently published a news item on HawaiiGolf.com about the Hawaiian Island of Kauai being voted the No. 2 island to visit in the world, according to Travel+Leisure's Reader Poll. One other result in the poll worth noting is that Bangkok was rated No. 1 in the "World's Best City" category. Bang...

Actually, the draft is tonight at one of our favorite watering holes. I'm just using the art of positive thinking regarding my selections for 2010. I'm also letting you know that I did win the big prize in 2009, in addition to one of the side pots (thank you Henrik Stenson for winning the Players Ch...
The Super Bowl is fast approaching. If you can't get to Miami for the game, no big deal. You know the real action is in Vegas, guys.
