Graig is the GM of the RedTail Golf Center in Beaverton, Oregon, as well as a regular pick on Golf Digest’s list of America’s Best Club Fitters. Graig also said, “Grip size is often overlooked or an afterthought of the fitting process and the wrong grip size can have a substantial impact on how clubs perfo

As many of you know who have read my columns over the years, I like to compare historical tournament information with current tournament statistics and trivia to determine if there are any similarities or differences between todays PGA Tour players to the greats of the past.

The purpose of last weeks article was to bring to your attention how important it is to know and understand the Glossary of Terms for the game of golf in order to both enjoy and play the game with more confidence. As you will recall, last week we only had space for; “Terms for the Golf Course” and “Terms for the Golf Swing”. I also informed you that I would not be be surprised if only 40-50% of beginners and recreational golfers would be able to pass a test about a basic Glos

When I was a student at Ithaca College in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department, one of the first assignments my professors gave me was to memorize “all” of the words and terms at the end of our textbooks called the Glossary of Terms. It included words and terms that were either, “newly introduced, uncommon or specialized” to the subject we were studying.

During the golf season in CNY, there are certain golfers who “need” to play 6-7 days a week to satisfy their appetite for golf. There are others who “need” to play 4-5 days a week to satisfy that appetite and even some who “need” 2-3 days. What makes this information comical is that most of the golfers in these three categories will do anything to try to hide their passionate affiliation with the game and they aren’t fooling anyone in their family, their friends...or you and

Many years ago I entertained the idea of doing some things on social media. It just didn’t work out so I eliminated social media as an option to expand my radio brand. I decided to concentrate on playing competitive golf, writing golf articles, and doing my radio show. Then one day while I was trying to convince someone to become a sponsor for my radio show, they said, “You don’t have many followers on social media”. I responded by saying, “I didn’t know I had any followers b

Mental mistakes in golf can cost far more strokes than poor ball striking, but with the right game plan and awareness, you can avoid common errors and play smarter, lower-scoring rounds.

Joining a golf league is one of the best ways to improve your game while enjoying social, health, and networking benefits. Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned player, there’s a league for every interest and skill level.

Golf is booming worldwide, but the battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf continues to overshadow the game’s growth. With new investments, shifting power, and rising participation, the true winner of this ‘war’ may not be clear until 2025.

Golf may be fun as a game, but it meets all the criteria of a sport—skill, physical effort, and rules. Competitive golf demands fitness, endurance, and carries real risk of injury. With global tournaments, Olympic status, and athletes like Tiger Woods enduring intense physical strain, golf has evolved into a true international sport.

Most golfers aren't born with a natural gift—but with practice, they can still excel. This article explores putting drills used by Jordan Spieth, including “Gatecrasher,” “Leap Frog,” and “Look at the Hole,” designed to build precision, feel, and confidence. Through hard work and focus, even those without innate talent can sharpen their game and compete like champions.

If you’ve ever missed a short putt and spiraled into frustration, chances are you’ve suffered from FGS—Frustrated Golfer Syndrome. According to therapist and fellow golfer Dr. Michael Bader, golf is an emotional roller coaster, especially for men who refuse to admit they need help. This Saturday on my radio show, we’ll dive into the symptoms, the shame, and yes—the potential cures for this all-too-relatable mental hazard of the game. Tune in to News Radio 570 WSYR or 106.9 FM

In 1871, P.T. Barnum launched the “Greatest Show on Earth.” Decades later, the PGA Merchandise Show carries that spirit into golf. Held in Orlando, it hosts 50,000+ professionals, nearly 1,000 exhibitors, and a one-of-a-kind Demo Day. For fans and industry leaders alike, it truly is the “Greatest Show on Earth... For Golf.”
