As the second playing of the Fedex Cup takes off this week, last year's cacophony of complaints seems a distant memory. A subtle change to the points system (and the absence of a certain red shirted wonder) have left the race open to myriad possibilities. And myriad possibilities are definitely a good thing. Consider the contenders: Kenny Perry, Phil Mickelson and Padraig Harrington come to ...

You can always count on Elle to distill the varied elements of the couture collections down to succinct ready-to-wear trends. So, they translate runway fashion to street fashion...then we just have to ...

This bucolic scene took place at Richter Park yesterday, shortly after we got back on course after a rain delay forced us to retreat to the Cafe on the Green and drink a couple/few glasses of wine mid-round. We were just finishing up the 9th hole when the sirens went off. The storm clouds had rolled in in a matter of minutes and thunder had begun to rumble in the distance. The sky ...

One of the great things about golf is that it actually gets more appealing as one gets older. There are about six million U.S. golfers over age 50 ad that number is expected to grow. So it's no surprise that when Justin Timberlake, a stellar golfer himself, was seeking a Birthday gift for a certain, soon-to-be-50-year-old Material Girl, he decided on golf...and he gave her a gift ...

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know I've been dreaming of a Dubai golf trip for a while now. In fact, since I began writing this blog almost two years ago, I've done over a half a dozen lustful posts on the the dessert kingdom and its rapidly growing golf culture. Well, it just keeps getting better. In fact, even getting there is getting better. And now I'm officially ...

I had a pretty great time watching the PGA Championship today. The afternoon was drizzly and gray, and ideal for being at home with my MacBook + TV which is what I require to watch a major these days. I log onto Twitter once the players get to the back nine, and watch the action unfold with dozens of other golf fans, from all over the world. Today there were Sergio Supporters from Spain AND ...

" Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But this is certainly not the case ." Robert Tyre Jones I love that quote. Leave it to Bobby Jones to so perfectly present this particular golf conundrum. I love the photo too. It was matched with the Bobby ...

According to Thomas Bendelow, a golf expert interviewed by the New York Times , women don't learn golf as easily as men. Women don't learn as easily, he says, because they "are not accustomed to taking regular exercise," and, he adds, "they want to play golf the way they play croquet". (yes... croquet ... that's what he said.) "Women don't use their arms," he continued, "they have no use ...

You know how every once in a while you come across something so fabulous you just want to tell everyone about it...But then you don't really want people to know about it because it's so good you want it to be your secret...And then, in the end, you've just got to share it because it wouldn't be fair to keep it to yourself? Well that's what happened with me and Wordle . Wordle is a ...

The sacred flame arrived in the Chinese capitol this morning, and in just a couple of days fireworks will burst forth from "The Bird's Nest" (as China's Olympic National Stadium is affectionately known) signaling the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. For China...and for the entire world...the impact that this international sporting event will have will be nothing short of ...

Everyday I get two or three emails about golf fashion. Yesterday I got one from a gal in Indiana who had finally ditched her boxy shorts for close-fitting capris and was having trouble finding a properly proportioned top, and another from a sprightly senior golfer whose husband finally seemed ready to modernize his golf look after three decades of the same conservative, ...

Going into the final round at the Bridgestone Invitational the legends in question, Vijay Singh and Phil Mikelson, share the lead with one of England's' top golfers, Lee Westwood. And Stuart Appleby is right behind them. So nothing is certain this Sunday morning. But what I want to know goes beyond Akron, OH...beyond this particular World Golf Championship event, to something more... ...

You know her, right? She's Kendra Wilkenson, one of the Girl's Next Door. She shares her 82 year old boyfriend with two other voluptuous blondes... and she plays golf, because, as she said in an interview a couple of days ago, she's "the sporty one". She said a lot of other...enlightening... things too, while relaxing after her round at the Ryan Sheckler’s X Games Celebrity Golf ...

It's got to be so awesome to have a family golf tournament. I don't come from a golf family myself. Our club was Yacht Club , not a country club, and growing up, and we spent the sweet New England summers sailing all day on Long Island Sound. Fortuantely however, The O'Sheas grew up playing golf, and they host an annuel tournament in Lynn. MA, just north of Boston. The O'Sheas are a ...
