Swing thoughts, lip outs and even a bad bounce are annoying problems on the golf course, but nothing compares to what a Long Island resident encountered while golfing in Cancun, Mexico. 50-year-old Edward Lunger was playing the Iberostar Cancun Golf Club when an errant golf shot forced him to climb into a bunker. The bunker […]
This documentary of 7-year-old golfers looks like a must-watch for golf fans
September 7, 2013 by
We all know how competitive golf can be for high schoolers, collegiate golfers and the professionals we tend to watch on a weekly basis, but 7-year-olds? Yeah, it’s pretty much a battle for them as well. “The Short Game,” a documentary that is set to release on September 20, follows a bunch of youngsters around […]
Every golf course could use Rickie Fowler’s alter ego, Dick Fowler, P.I.
August 29, 2013 by
We’ve all played golf with that guy, the one that either doesn’t know the rules or simply doesn’t care about them. He doesn’t rake the bunkers, doesn’t repair his divots, doesn’t fix pitch marks and the green and definitely doesn’t care about how your golfing experience goes. He’s the man that can tarnish a relationship […]
Jamie Sadlowski breaks The Golf Channel’s simulator again with a 7-iron
August 21, 2013 by
Remember back in November, when long-drive beast Jamie Sadlowski broke The Golf Channel’s swing simulator by smoking a drive right through the screen? That was impressive, right?! What if the same guy did it with a 7-iron? Well, it happened. Sadlowski, the 2008 and ’09 RE/MAX Long Drive Champion, was on The Golf Fix and […]
Foot Golf could be a game changer
August 4, 2013 by
If there is one joke between hackers, it’s the idea of a foot wedge. Hit a ball against a tree? Just kick it out and you’ll be fine. Now, that idea might not be far off. Foot Golf is a game that combines golf with soccer and appears to be one of the cooler things […]
Former college golfer shoots a 56 (56!) at a par-72 Kentucky golf course
July 26, 2013 by
So, you once broke 80 on your best day? That’s nice. Jesse Massie just smoked you and pretty much everybody else who’s ever swung a golf club. He carded a 56 — a 56! — at the Glenmary Country Club in Louisville, the golf equivalent of a mic drop and walk offstage. Now, before you […]
Howard Stern claims he “drives” a golf ball “300 yards”; you be the judge
July 15, 2013 by
Howard Stern, King of All Media turned cuddly “America’s Got Talent” host, may not exactly qualify as a shock jock any more, but he’ll still say a thing or two to raise eyebrows. Like, for instance, his contention that golf “ain’t that hard” and that he can uncork 300-yard drives. Stern posted this video of […]

Check out the golf course that hosted Caddyshack
July 5, 2013 by
There is not a single golf movie more famous than Caddyshack, but few people actually know the golf course that hosted the movie back in 1980. That club is Grande Oaks Golf Club, and the good folks at A.V. Club went and did a short film looking at what the golf course is like in […]
D.H. Lee flips the bird after a bad golf shot
June 30, 2013 by
There are plenty of ways to express your frustration as a golfer. We’ve thrown clubs, cussed out ourselves, the golf course and the golf clubs, and blamed just about everything in sight for shots that didn’t turn out the way we wanted them. For 25-year-old D.H. Lee, a new way of showing disgust happened on […]
