The Curse of Uneven Lies

April 17, 2015 by Jim Brewer

It’s hard enough to hit a golf ball into that elusive piece of real estate known as a fairway when it’s resting on a dead level, manicured tee box. But when the ball comes to a stop on a slope steep enough to make a mountain goat stumble, the average golfer is in trouble. That is, unless he or she knows how to adjust the swing, the equipment and body weight to compensate for the uneven … [Read more...]

Mr. Sandman, Bring Me a Wedge

April 10, 2015 by Jim Brewer

Who would dump a truckload of sand on a nice golf course? Worse, who would dump multiple loads, putting sand on or along every hole on the course? That would be like stocking fire ants on your property or hanging a sign on your front door saying: Attention Burglars. We are on vacation this week. The door is unlocked. Make yourselves at home. The silver is in the drawer of the china cabinet in the … [Read more...]

Practice Makes Perfect

April 2, 2015 by Jim Brewer

“The more I practice, the luckier I get.” Ben Hogan. Hogan would have liked the Highlands Golf Park in Ruckersville. One of the most dedicated golf pros of all time, Hogan knew that spending time on the range would improve his game. And great as he was, Hogan never stopped trying to improve. As certified “duffers”, we need practice more than anyone and highland is a great place to hone our … [Read more...]

Beer Wenches and Other Distractions

March 26, 2015 by Jim Brewer

There are plenty of distractions on a golf course: Your golf partner clicking around a pocket of tees while you’re lining up a five-footer, for example, or a left to right gale when you, a chronic slicer, are teeing it up. That can be a distraction. Teeing it up on the first hole requiring a long drive over water, while you hear the four-some behind you taking odds-on bets that you’ll plunk it in … [Read more...]

Life From the Forward Tees

March 20, 2015 by Jim Brewer

Men are not likely to stop and ask for directions, not are they inclined to play golf from the forward tees. Women don’t have these problems. They rely on their GPS or ask for directions, and they always play from the ladies tees. But on a golf course, men have choices. There are often 3 and sometimes 4 or even 5 tee boxes for men. The “way-back” tees, usually the black tees, which should be an … [Read more...]

Dear Ping

February 2, 2015 by Jim Brewer

golfer

Okay, you Pingites or Pingatereans, whatever your names. You know who you are. You make some of the greatest golf equipment in the world. But I have a complaint. This Christmas, my wife gave me a new Ping putter. It cost $149.95. I know this because the clerk put it in a box for her, sealed it up and forgot to take the price tag off. I’m leaving the tag on, though, because my first set of golf … [Read more...]
