This is an open letter to slow play.
Dear slow player,
SPEED UP!!!! That 3 foot putt is not getting any shorter the longer you stand over it. That shot over the bunker from the hard pan lie is not getting easier by you walking up to the green twice to see where you are trying to land it. Read more…
Wind sucks. The only thing that can turn a golf round more upside down is snow. Rain is livable. Get an umbrella, some rain gloves, a good rain jacket, and some towels and you are pretty well set. But wind…there is no product on the market to slow the wind down. It is the great equalizer.

Technology has boomed in the world. Just a few years ago DVD was the king of the movie world and now Blue Ray is here. Televisions have gone from tube, to plasma, to LCD. Golf has been no exception.
