U.S. Open 2016 : preview and easy predictions

Share:Greatest week in golf Blasphemy you say? Did I forget The Open Championship or The Masters? Of course not. Both are tournaments of the utmost importance. As an American though, the U.S. Open is the crown jewel. Routinely confounding the world’s best, the 116th edition should prove to be the ultimate test of golf. Plus it’s our national championship.

Walter Hagen: exclusive faux review on golf today

Walter Hagen: exclusive faux review on golf today

Share:Walter Hagen : he might have said… First and foremost, Walter Hagen passed away in 1969 at the age of 76. In no way do I wish to tarnish his name or legacy.

Lincoln Park: quality Oklahoma City public golf

Lincoln Park: quality Oklahoma City public golf

Share:  Lincoln Park Golf Course As a bit of a vagabond traveling salesman, I’ve had the opportunity to play many public golf courses in the south and midwest. None is without their flaws, but all seem to offer a relaxed charm as well. Lincoln Park, nestled behind the Oklahoma City Zoo and off of I-35 is no different. If you are looking for genuine quality then Lincoln is just the answer. Opened in 1921, it has been a “home course”…
