Share: Welcome to Comical Golfer Hello all, glad you could make it. Comical Golfer was created to ponder, share, head scratch, pontificate, muse, ramble, reflect, and opine on any and all things golf. There could be some pearls of wisdom within. There could be a large quantity of what the %$#&@?! as well. The mission is to see the game we love grow, and humor has earned its rightful place in that endeavor. Of course, our brand of ‘funny’ is…
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. Furthermore, anyone can play. Of course, you have to emerge from grueling qualifiers to get in. But if you’re good enough,…
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.

Pesci got his first big screen role in 1961 but surprisingly had to wait til 1980…
Share:Cosmo Kramer, golfer height: 6’3″ weight: 195-ish mother: Babs Kramer place of birth: Brooklyn (we think) age: unknown handicap: guesstimated +3 Cosmo made the tour Since this is fiction, gleaned from fiction, I’ll be taking many liberties here. Exclusive insights on Cosmo Kramer and his golf game are highly fictitious in nature and should be read accordingly. Now that we’ve cleared that up…. A boy with a dream Any fan of Seinfeld knows, Cosmo was one helluva golfer. With his…
Share: The King What’s to be said about Arnold Palmer that hasn’t already been chronicled? Nothing, or rather nothing that will be groundbreaking. Simply put, this story only serves to highlight some of my favorite Arnie moments and accomplishments. Things that transformed him into the reliable American icon he is today. My foolish youth As a kid growing up in northwest Louisiana, sports were huge. Particularly football, my young life revolved around the game and the fate of the Dallas Cowboys….
