February 9th, 2010

So. You have heard about it. I have heard about it. We have ALL heard about it. Every single shot a PGA player takes with a club that has a letter on it, we hear about it. Nick Faldo can’t go 3 sentences without talking about “when we played blah blah blah.”

It is the most misunderstood ruling in a looooooonnnnngggg time to come down from the omnipotent USGA, it is………

Sweet 16! In some cultures and in some families, turning 16 is a big deal. In fact, to some, turning 16 is bigger than any other birthday. I was not one of the families that did “Sweet 16s” so I never got to know the joy…….until Oct. 7th, 2009.
