A holiday golf adventure It's 2001, at last. On the golfing front, 2000 ended kind of quietly. A blast of cold air and snow brought an early end to the golf season for those of us in the Midwest and East. I went to Pinehurst for Christmas, and even there the season was on life support... |

Trappings of the Turnberry sand The day after the British Open, I played Turnberry, that coastal gem with the lighthouse and the view of Ailsa Craig. I hit the ball pretty well, both off the tee and from the firm, tight fairways, and had a terrific time. But I putted poorly... |

Two swings for the price of one So when you say, "I hope you find your swing," I take it to mean the swing that's right for me, the swing I deserve, the swing that will make me forget a decade of comic futility. And guess what? I have found that swing. To be honest, I have found TWO swings... |

Mixing the best of both worlds As so often happens, I'm currently caught in a trough between two warring principles. On the one hand, I am totally committed to the swing method taught by Rob Stanger. On the other hand, I am a true believer in the tempo-training trail blazed by John Novosel. |
