John Minnium’s “Year in Review” has become a cult classic among golf sickos in recent years. After all, no one appreciates a true golf nut more than a fellow golf nut.
Born in the US state of Georgia, to an Australian father and Ghanaian mother, Danny List was raised in the West African nation and possessed a “weird obsession” with golf. He’ll compete at Torrey Pines this week under an Australian flag.
All three rounds at the Riyadh Golf Club will be held under lights, with the 54-player field teeing off in LIV’s shotgun starts just after 6pm, local time.
We’re five weeks into the TGL experiment, I’ve spent way too many hours thinking about screen golf and, now, it’s time to unload that particular section of my brain onto you, the reader. I’ll say that generally, my feelings have run the gamut between initial disappointment (in contrast to a lot of the big independent Read more…
It’s funny. Even though Tiger Woods failed to win 296 of the 378 events he played on the PGA Tour, I’ve never thought of him being tortured by a tough loss. He was fine after a Sunday collapse that caused him to get boat-raced by Ed Fiori in his third pro tournament, 1996 Quad Cities Read more…

Long before Tiger came along, the pals of my youth were Hoganophiles or infantrymen in Arnie’s Army. I was a Nicklaus guy; I studied all things Jack.

We can all pretty much agree who has played the greatest golf in the history of the game. It starts with the men and women in the World Golf Hall of Fame and ends somewhere near the top of the current World Rankings. But winning isn’t everything.
